can you change it to DOHC or do you need a whole new engine?

 

new engine.

 

yea tryin to get a 2001 to go fast will be expensive. . . . . thats why i bought a 99

 

what is it that you can do to a '99 civic that you can't do to an 01. or why is it that much more expensive?

 

u can swap basiclly any motor from a honda or acura u want. why not a 01? cuz honda screwed up

 

if you want speed I say sell it and buy a 92-95manual hatch and put the money into that

 

hmmm... Seems like a better route. then you'll a a full time project car and a dependable daily driver. I think i might do that route. I just bought an 01. ex sedan. (had to have a Family car.) With better gas mileage than my truck. I think I'm just gonna add bolt ons to it. and let my wife drive it, and when i get back from this deployment buy a 99 coup for a project car.
just sounds FAR too expensive to Mess with the motor swap. the K swap would probably be Sweet tho.

 

Why dont ou just sell the 01 while its still worth more? Buy an older one and you will end up saving money on parts and most likely make money off of selling yours for an older one. 92-95 hatchbacks are my favorite and parts seem to be everywhere. Pretty much anything from under 01 back to 92 is going to be better for you.

 

man this thread is old lol
