the price of the civic and del sol and pretty much the same. Suspension and Security should be some of the first things you'd wan to do to a honda. Layer the security, with kill switches, etc. Also, forced induction is a great way for increased torque and whp, even on a stock D series. IT can be just as reliable as well, it just need to get a proper tune.

And as far as exterior mods go...it's up to you. Just throwing some ideas ou there, but the B18b1 is a great engine. Cheap, and good candidates for boosting. Look on http://www.craigslist.org

That particular engine doesn't have vtec, but it's not a huge deal unless you really want it. Then there are the B16, b18, etc.
