Default Know of somewhere less expensive?

Where should I buy my parts? I can't afford to turbo my car because I make $8.50 an hour and I have other expenses. Anyone know of a place I can get parts (I/H/E) without having to sell my kidney?


Thanks

Try http://stores.ebay.com/Kuruma-Motoring - pretty good ebay seller, low prices on some good stuff.

And http://www.modacar.com - likewise

Buy them locally used from other members who don't need them or want to upgrade.

Honestly, don't waste your time and money installing intakes and headers and **** if you think there's any possibility that you'll go turbo or swap at any point in the future. Put sick suspension and tires on your car, work on the shifter and get the most comfortable seats you can find and you'll fall in love with your car all over again without spending money that you'll lose when you finally come to a decision (and enough money) about what you want out of your Civic .

Dont put I/H on your car if you plan to go turbo. Get your exhaust and start building and saving for a turbo. Like what I did, Got my pistons and rods installed and didnt even get a turbo yet. I am riding around on 8:1 comp. but oh well I am at least ready for turbo even though I am going slow now.
