i've got $2500.00.
im looking for something, 2 door, 5 speed, 30+ mpg (the higher the better) sub 16 second 1/4 mile or better (the lower the better), has to have AC.
i'll be my daily commute to work (46.3 miles a day, 4 days a week) and my toy.

i've been looking at my options.. a cheap del sol.. going w/ a cheap civic and dropping another engine in it (passed up a d16a w/5 spd tranny for $600.00) or turboing the stock engine.
but the simplest, most reliable way is the option im looking for.

the ideal thing would be a 14 second car that gets mid to high 30's in the mpg department that will have descent reliability (will be used but not abused) for around $2500.00 and not be a piece of garbage. oh, and AC (hot in florida)

and to let you know, ive been learning on hondas for only a year or so, specifically accords so im somehwat unfamiliar w/civics and there potential..enlighten me. but i do have a descent amount of mechanical abilityand have been through many diff v8 swaps and have friends whove done import swaps also.

 

just buy a stock civic ex coupe or something

i know mini me 4 doors that run 15.9

hell my stock d15b7 sedan runs a 16.9
