92-95 Hatch back. Light weight and already OBDI (smog regulations/ECU modification capability).

This is the only website you need.

Moderate performance = B18B swap (Integra LS)

Body kits are not for this site. Its all about a clean look here.

Look in mgazines such as super street and such. Most of the time their are ads with good deals on body kits. I am not a huge fan of them, but I have seen some civics and other cars with body kits that looked decent. Nothign overbearing. If you want a littel better than stock perfromance and want to do it cheaply....Ebay is your best friend

please do not get a body kit. you will thank me in about a year. i would also suggest a 92-95 hatchback. http://www.alternativehonda.com is a good place to learn some stuff about the SOHC motor that will come in a stock hatch.

This is a more performance oriented board and less of a appearance board. I personally feel that there are much better ways to spend the money than on the price of a bodykit and the price to make it fit and get it painted. With that said, it's your car, your money and if you want it, don't let some people on the internet who will never see your car convince you otherwise.
