If I were you, I would consider a few things fpr project. MKIV Supra (just because those things are getting more rare in the stock form, and have a huge aftermarket support), MR2 (looks stunning to me, and I also love 2-seaters), or an older 3-series (had to throw that in , but those things can look slick as hell, and have potential, not to mention the infamous BMW handling ). A 4G hatch is also an excellent choice (justnot a very big fan of FWD anymore, I'm sure you know why - not just because of my BMW). That's my favorite civic design as well. My friend vovka86 has that, and has major plans for it.

Well, right now, it seems that we're moving out to an island in Puget Sound called Whidbey Island. But I don't know all the details. I'll have to ask my dad.
As for projects, yeah, a Mk IV would be sweet, but they run a little steep in my neck of the woods (at least $15k), so I doubt I'll go that route. I too love the looks of the MR2, but they're such a pain in the *** to overhaul. And as for the "infamous BMW handling," a Civic hatch with some tires and $150 springs can match it neck and neck. Don't get me wrong, I love Bimmers; I just don't want one.
The DSM is gone for good, and I found someone who'll pay $2,400 for the Civvy. Gonna call the guy about the S14 this afternoon.

Or get an AE86 GTS. Swap in a 4GZE, sacrifice the supercharger for a turbo, upgrade the suspension, and you'll have a fun little drift car. Personally, I'd love to get one, but it's very tough to find one with a decent body. Instead, I might do the 4GZE swap into my AE92

You should get a project car like a supra or the 4th gen hatch or like a 3000GT (don't know anything about them, but I saw one today and they're not bad looking) or one of the other cars people have already mentioned and then save the rest to get an '06 Civic Si when it comes out.

Thanks XCM, a VR4 is a damn good idea. And andryuha too: I'll look around for an AE86 (or maybe a true Trueno...)

I just did a little research on the 3000GT, and I've actually started thinking about that as my next project car. Seems like they've got excellent growth potential. Check out this guy's: http://www.cjbyron.com/3000GT.htm If I was that guy though, I'd beef up the internals and run a lot more than 320 hp on twin turbos.

I found a similar one http://japantol.narod.ru/PIC/trueno.jpg. The one I saw before was done in blue with CF hood. Not an AE86, but AE111. I got a poster with turbo AE86 on it.
