hey what up
i'm new to this forum and i would need couple information because i'm buying a civic but i don't know which one and couple of questions like this.
i'm from france but i have lived in denver colorado for the past 5 years and i'm 17 years old i have been working in a school and now that i have money i want to do MY car.

now i want to spend $5000 in a car that i'm sure will run great...
i have found a honda civic hathback 95 EX with V-TEC engine 5 speed with 63000 miles at $4900

now does the V-TEC engine is really something else than the CX? because i tried one yesterday (CX) their were no power at all



thanks you for help me

 

the cx is crap. unless you plan on doing a motor swap, stay away from it. the ex is great, and that sounds like a decent deal, i say try to offer less, but go for it. also, i think there is a typo, the 95 ex wasnt offered in a hatchback, only a coupe and sedan, if youre talking about an si hatch, then all the better.

 

if i get it at $4500 i think i will take it i need to go check it out.... now do you know how many horses is it stock?

and do you know the budget to putt the engine a 220 horeses??

thanks

 

if i buy the 95 honda civic with the V-TEC engine 5speed i'm going to drop it down but on the engine what would be good for the beginning?... no purpose to putt headers if i putt turbocharger in couple of month...

right now i'm gonna have $1000 right when i get the car i want to do the engine and the suspention and brake before body

i don't like fanzy body kit if you can't back it up with the rest of the car

 

go with exhaust and suspension definately, if your thinking FI then hold off on the intake and header.

 

yeah, the ex or si motor is about 125 hp, it will be a beast with a small turbo setup, so id do the suspension and brakes up, no-holds-barred, then drop in a turbo or b-series motor.

 

thanks you guys for answering...
now...tonight i'm going to look at a 96 honda civic EX with the 1.6V-TEC loaded and i think i'm going with that one if it don't get sold

now...tell me......is the V-TEC a purpose on a honda???
