Default Hey I'm new to the import cars so I got ?s

Hey I am wanting to get me an import and I was thinking of a 98-00 civic 2dr, b16,5spd. what is a good price for a black one in really nice shape, all stock with a sunroof? and I know the basic mods header,exhaust, cai, coilovers,chip. but what other mods should I do, I am not a novice at working on cars so i can handle hard stuff, I just don't want to have to pull the motor and transaxle to do something. so thanks for the help!!

Get a 99-00 EM1 (Civic SI). I love them. They get you started with a nice B16 too, my favorite civic.

Do some research.
The wise ones here at H-T did nights and nights worth of research. Reading magazines, going online, blah blah blah.
I don't want to flame on you man, just...try to do some research.

Although there are forum rules in place, we do feel that the forum should be able to govern itself. Along with the forum rules, we ask that our members keep a few things in mind when posting:

- SEARCH FIRST!!!! There is no topic that hasn’t been covered before in this forum. Make sure you search both archived and recent topics in the EG/EK forum before you decide to post a new thread. If you don’t know how to use the search feature read this: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=979961

- Keep your threads TECH related (or at least try to contain some tech in them). This is Honda-TECH.com If you have non-technical questions, they might be more appropriately suited for Appearance/Cosmetic or GDD. We feel that you all know what a “tech” thread is and don’t need it spelled out for you.

</TD></TR></TABLE>

Next time, search on what engine and specifications come in a Civic from factory.

What's a good price? Whatever YOU are willing to pay for it. You don't need our consent to buy a car, whether we think it's not worth it or it is. You make the decision, not us.

not a good way to enter someone elses house if you get my drift... maybe you should put your pride in your pocket and absorb what these people are trying to tell you... every one of us has more than likely been where you are now... be wise, not dumb

Check the KBB.com they are the ones that tell us what a decent price is. Then use the search button and you will find all you need on what will give u the best bang for your buck with your civic.
Get an EG hatch

make sure you do your research and buy things that actually matters instead of just getting the "basics." also, it'll help you save some money so you dont have to do things twice.

Hey thanks for all the advice, boosting is kinda what I was planning on. My cousin says i should find a k20 drop it in the car I buy and boost that. I am considering it cause i have drove a car with a stock k20 in it and liked it. but my problem is figuring exactly where I want the power to show at on the tach. And sorry for the nut lick comment, yall were right i should have searched first.Thanks for setting me straight on the props, especially neutron91. I will next time and am searching for info on this.

What do you call this?

Since you can't take advice on making this forum move easier, and you need to call people names which try to correct you, this thread deserves to be locked.
