Default so.. may be picking up a 1995 Civic EX coupe...

I had a gsr and was going turbo.. long story short, drive a pathfinder now for practicality reasons..

so i'm thinking of picking up my cousin's ex for a little under $2000, good price?

has like 240k mi...

this is a car i'd use as a daily to and from the train station that's about 5 mi away one way... i want to have fun with this car.. what would you guys recommend to do just to mess around with on this car? i guess it's pretty vague, so what would you guys do? go as cheap as possible...

btw, it's auto

a decently built single cam would be wut i would do. aiming for about 200hp this would still be a good daily driver with enough hp to mess around with. just my opinion though.

200whp??? that took some effort just to get that with my gsr.. wouldn't it be a lot more difficult with a d?

it COULD be done, but it's not the cheap option unless if you do it in portions over the next year.

do a build on a d series and boost it... i dont know how much you're looking to spend but if you do that you can get probably around 300 dependably...

i dont know if you want to spend that much tho thats what i'm doing

i understand 200 COULD be achieved... anything can be achieved within reason.. just depending on what you'd spend.. i'd rather b-series it then d-series it... oh well..

If you want around 200 whp within a reasonable budget, then I would B18b turbo or something of the sorts. A not-so-common B-series with turbo (but torque) would be a good option for good power with less money.
