First off all I want to thank you for accepting me on this forum. I think it's a great comunity.
I am 22. Now I am in Germany, and I've found a lot of beautifull honda's around here. But the one i'm interested is the Fifth generation, especially the Civic hatchback model.
The big problem is the engine. I think ( and here I need a specialist help ) the best engine at this model is the B16A2 ( 160 hp @ 7600 rpm ). Im interested in this engine because I think it's the most powerfull, fiable and good in this generation of Honda ( tell me if i'm wrong ) Maybe if someone can give me some advices, maybe the forth generations is better or something, i'm not an expert so this is why i'm asking for your help I am a beginner, so please don't take me so hard. I love everything that starts with H and ends with ONDA , but only now I have the posibility to buy one and invest in it.

What is this civic hatchback model weight ? this is one of the most important things in drag races. Is this the lightest model from all the generations ? How much can you lower the weight ? Is the fourth generation civic hatchback more light ?

After buying the honda, i've decided to modify it for 400 meters
Another problem would be the aftermarket pieces. The only way for me to take the pieces is the ebay.com What do you think about the turbo kits on ebay? The prices are between 600 $-1000 $ , are there good for something or not ? And what about the OBX lsd's ? ( i'ts the only one i've found on ebay ) The problem with de remap or chiptuning is resolved, I have a friend who put's Unichip and he told me he can help me, but I don't know what to say
I hope at the end I can get up to 250-300 hp, Do you think this is possible ? How much do you think I need to invest in the engine, tires, brakes, lsd to get to this power, and blast a few adversaries ? :D

I know this is disputable, but I ask now the users who have almost the same power, what is the 0-60 mph or 0-100 km/h time, and 0-400 m time they have done with their civic's ?

I have a lot of questions, about tires, and brakes and a lot of stuff but for now it is enough

I'm sorry for my english and for disturbing you all, but I have a lot of questions to ask, and I think this is the best place to start. Thank you very much and waiting for your answers.

With respect,


PS: Sorry for the Double Post, Problems with my Internet connection.
