I think swaping that engine out with a z6 or y8 would be much more worth your time and money than to put any money or work into that engine. Also it could use a good cleaning.

Yup.
I'll definatly be cleaning the whole thing.

but i think i'll just slap a induction kit in there and other small mods , just to make it look pretty. because i'll be selling this on in a few months.
I'll be a buying another civic but a VTEC'd one.

i believe aftermarket parts actually decrease the resale value of a car, because most people think it's reliability goes down, and they think the owner has been racing the car. the only way you could get more from it is if you sell it to somebody who has interest in the aftermarket scene

Yeah, i know.

I know a few people who would buy it off me so its ok.

And i've been doing some research on ebay and alot of modded civics go for at least £500 ( around $900) or more over here in the UK.
Plus thats profit when i only payed £100 for it.
