I am another newbie!!!
 

Hello, my name is Crystal and I'm new to the forum! I have a 97 Honda Civic Dx with absolutely nothing done to it and I can't wait to start fixing it up! I'm open to suggestions and advice! Thanx!!!:D

RE: I am another newbie!!!
 

Where are u looking to start? Performance or looks? Let us know and we can help you from there.

I personally have to have wheels and a suspension drop first.

RE: I am another newbie!!!
 

Thanks and I'm going for Performance first and some looks later. I plan to run my car in HS class in SCCA Solo 2. Then later run it in STS. So for now I want Adjustable Struts and drop Springs. Also I have the SOHC 1.6 Liter motor thats non VTEC. I want to know what the engine code for it is and I heard I can get the VTEC head off another SOHC motor is this true and where can I get the VTEC head. Thanks again.

Solo with SCCA very, good try true coilovers your times will be better, or Tokico Illumina with ground control
Good luck and welcome

the engine codes are posted as sticky in one of the sectins. it will tell all ya need

RE: I am another newbie!!!
 

Welcome. If you want to add the vtec head to your dx (D16y7), you need to get one from a civic ex (D16y8)

RE: I am another newbie!!!
 

SCCA Solo 2 is awsome. I started in HS and am now in STS (soon SM, because of wheel size) like $5000 later, and about to spend another $2500 in suspension and brakes. I am addicted to tuning my Civic.

Thanks everyon yeah my boyfriend is into Autocross so I was drawn into it because of that. I want to stay in STS once I get out of HS class in Autocross.
