Whatchya Think?...
Suppose you had a 96 EX, bone stock, and 6 g's to play around with. Which swap would you do and why? I need some help, so many choices...so tempting

Re: Whatchya Think?... (AZDogg623)
depends on what you are looking for,..personally i would work the suspension first,..are you going for a fast drag strip car? if so,.i would go with the h22a,..are you going for an autoX car? i would go with a b18c5 motor for that

LS/Turbo is gonna be at least $5000 + labor.
I'm a D series person myself, but a GSR with I/H/E, and some suspension would be nice.

Re: Whatchya Think?... (WiDeBoDyEK)
Well for the most part it will be a daily driver except on Thurs. when the track is open for SCO Nights at Firebird Raceway. Ummm, Autox is not really my cup of joe but I'm always up to try new things, lol. Is the h22a a lot better than say b18b, b18c? I want the ride to be fast of course but still reliable enough for daily use.

6g's?
Sell the civic, or keep it as a daily driver and buy one of these:
http://autotrader.com/findacar...t=494
http://autotrader.com/findacar...t=130
You can run 12's! (probably even lower)

what?? i know domestics are crap from experience. ive owned 3 pontiacs and they all sucked on all possible levels.
sorry to hijack your thread, but this guy is retarded; therefore, he thinks some buick is better than a honda. sure it maybe faster, but it requires 4 liters to do what a well designed car could do w/ half.
anyways, ls turbo

Re: Whatchya Think?... (Ricey McRicerton)
Turbo that D-Series. Depending on what kit you go with, you could still have 4k to play around with or more. Then get some Tiens and and have 3k left over. Get HONDATA or some kind of engine management system. Use the rest on wheels/more suspension stuff/exterior stuff/whatever your heart desires. You don't have to spend it all at once. Maybe save some until you run into something you really want. That way you'll always have some money to play around with down the road.

thats my plan exactly. got some tiens, wheels, & the rest of my suspension already. turbo kit & all the power by summer. all for around 6k. but i really wish i would have just bought a buick from the 80's w/ an automatic.

Re: Whatchya Think?... (jwn7)
A GN has worlds more potential than any Honda as far as drag racing is concerned.
anyone who says they suck doesn't deserve to own one and has no idea what they're talking about.
Do you guys really think it's just a run of the mill buick? It was faster than the 'Vette in 86 and 87.

Re: Whatchya Think?... (2camsaam)
You guys are retarded if you talk down on GN's. They are too much car for you pansies. If you want to stay honda, thats fine, its your opinion. But to say that they are crap cars is downright assinine. Someday you will learn that there is more out there than hondas.
