so i just got a 2000 hatch....i dont know where to start with parts and i do have the money....i just want to do upgredas no cosmetic.....can you help

 

yea we can help but we need more info. how much horsepower do u want? do u want to stay na or go turbo? how much money do have to spend?

 

i have about 5000 to spend and i want to stay n/a right now because its the every day drive untill i can pick up another one...but i want around 200 hp

 

one option is a B18C swap w/ skunk 2 intake manifold, headers, exhaust, and cai.this should getu close to 200 hp andsince u got a light hatch it will rip!!

Petehas this engine swapped intohis coupe (he loves it), so maybe he can tell youwhere to find a good deal on one.

 

I like the swap idea. but Boost would get you most power. Like Look at Sov, He has a Turbo D 7psi on Stock internals right now, and hes making 210 whp! I mean. Thats god, and you could put together a nice turbo for 1500

 

IMO
1. Suspension sways, struts & springs
2. I'd boost if you have that kind of cash
3. Wheels

Post some pics

 

Shwiiiing... +1 for the boost... You can make a boosted car just as reliable as an N/A one.

 

buy a k20a2. its like 200 hp right off and later you can do whatever like turbo or go n/a and just do internals.
