New here...need advice on Honda specs
Hello,
Well the title says it all...I'm new. Currently I am Honda-less but want advice and ideas on where to start. Based on my username, you can assume where I'd like to look for my first Honda. Just came back from a tour in the UK with the Air Force and at the time was only allowed to bring ONE car home
At the end of the day I am a Volkswagen fan ever since I was 5 and its where my heart rests, however, a friend of mine and his sister had 95 Civic EX's and they were quite amazing cars. In all regards, I am a 2 door guy and am stuck on whether I want a sedan or a hatch. 
I am near clueless on engine codes and what certain one bring out the power but look good doing it. I like speed and torque but am more in for looks and polish. I'd rather have a clean, near OEM car with tasteful mods such as wheels and lights.
Any help would be amazing please! Post photos also so I can put the lingo with a look
This is what I brought back from the UK in July! As you can tell, I like a simple look. Easy to work on engine and such. Cheers!

Re: New here...need advice on Honda specs
Nice car man! Love the right hand drive. And thanks for your service as well.
But as for a Civic goes... to each his own. I personally love the body styles of Coup's//Hatch backs. But it really depends on what you want, and what you want to do. There are many great builds and styles out there for civics. Some people search for cars that are top of the line for their model (Such as Civic Si for instance). And others like to build cars to their own liking, and/or engine set ups.
To make the best decision though, I suggest looking at all years, and models of the Civic to best determin what fits you best.
A 1999 - 2000 Honda Civic Si is a good place to start, for instance. hehe :D

You can pick up a civic pretty cheap as a good base. The stock motors are pretty gutless unless you jump for the Si models. Depending on your budget you can always swap out the motor and trans for a reasonable cost. Those little hatchbacks love Integra GSR motors. 2300 pounds and a 170hp is a nice combo for a streetable DD.
