if you got 18K cash...buy a 92-95 Civic HB...~2-4K depending on year, trim, condition. Spend 6K on a built CRvtec setup, reliable 12's. 1K on a nice suspension setup w/brakes. 1-2k on a nice paint job. couple hundred on some nice seats. spend the other $$$$$ in some nice investments or in a nice mutual fund

edit: all of the above but with a 92-95 Civic Coupe

if you want a coupe i would go with like a 96-00 civic. you can get one of those for roughly 6-8 thousand then with the money left get a nice suspension that can handle the power you are going to add and drop in a built b18

First off, according to his past posts, he already has a 2002 EX coupe and he was interested in getting a turbo for it. Now he's saying that he has 18,000 and he's wondering what car to get. In the integra forum, he says that he wants to get an integra and i remember him asking about a H22 swap for his 2002 civic. What the hell is goin on here with this guy.

if i had 18k.....92 Civic EX Coupe, B18B, B18C5 tranny w/ lsd, p&p, head and valve work, je and crower, get compession to 8:1, drag gen 3 turbo kit, msd ignition, venom intake manifold, thermal turbo exhaust. seen it done before, but with an electromotive system added to it. one story i heard fro the guy was a race with a GSR. he wasn't running the turbo and still took him like nothin'!

P.S. - i said EX because I'm persommelly starting to want a little luxury inside my car.
