you can build a VERY nice 5th gen hatch for 10k. B18C5 swap and you'll still get like 25-30mpg.

If you only have 10,000.. don't waste your time buying a car and modifying it by yourself. Find someone who has modified a civic already (with a swap or turbo...) and buy it. All the work is done.. and you have a great platform.

10,000 bux isnt alot of money if youre looking to buy a fast car and fast usually=fuel consumption.
