Default $12k Fantasy

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.

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

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.

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.
