Alright, i've saved up, i've done my deeds, and i've got $12,000 to spend on a civic. I'm thinking about getting an EK coupe, jdm body styling, going turbo b18c w/ buddy club internals, omni power quick clutch master cylinder, skunk2 coilovers, and some spoon style rims. Thats my start. So, what would you do? Any thing that i'm not thinking of? I'm a weak on my product knowledge, turbo recomendations? Keep in mind that i still need to buy the actual civic.

 

I would use that as a down payment on a new Civic SI, sorry but new car and a warrenty > modding a old car

 

First rule of buying a car: NEVER buy a new car until it has been in production for 2-3 years.

 

ain't that the truth.

 

I would buy an EG Hatch, a B18B engine and get the bottom end built then get a nice turbo kit for 350-400whp. Then work on cosmetics.

Berz out.

 

+1 I'm wonderin why the B18B over the B18C1 other than cost?

 

The B18B is the best block for boost for the money. Put a Vtec head on it and your golden. Im not a fan of the GSR intake design as well.

Berz out.

 

ek coupe and go from there

 

Ek hatch, jdm d15 w/ lsd trans, z6 crank, aftermarket rods and pistions, boooost.

Imo.

 

Why the z6 crank? It allready has the same crank as a Z6
