i just got this '89 civic hatchback for pretty cheap from a friend. i bought it because i thought it was somewhat of a "classic import". i am a senior in high school and have been using my 1968 chevy camaro (undergoing downtime for further restoration and chassis/suspension work) for daily transportation since i got my hardship at 15 (no tickets ) anyways...i know a lot about engines and domestic cars. i have lived and breathed small block chevy for a long time, but i know nothing about imports. i like all cars...im not one of those haters that thinks imports or domestics is better, thats pointless. here is what i need to know 1) does anyone make altezza style rear lights for the hatch? ive seen some clear ones for the crx but i dont know if they will swap out. 2) who makes a good turbo kit for my car? 3) i just want some input on what engine you guys think i should swap into this soon-to-be quick hatch. i hear you guys are the experts so let me know. ive been reading up on a "crvtec". i need a fast car capable of daily driving. any input is EXTREMELY helpful. thanks guys.

welcome to honda-tech.

as far as your question on altezzas....i believe they dont make them for the hatches. a few years back when i was searching for one..they didnt have them. i dont know about now.

what model is your 89 hatch?? DX or Si??
