LX-is are the best. Turbo it.

My question to you is, how much money can you spend? A custom turbo set-up does not come cheap. Just a basic bolt on 7psi set-up will run you around $4k. Now if you get like me, expect to pay anywhere from $10K-$15K if you do most of the work yourself.. (that is most of the work to the car not just motor..)

First off, you can start with a rear disc brake conversion. Find a 1989 accord SE-i and pull the rear trailing arms off along with the disc brakes and e-brake set-up. Cost at the junk yard is about $200-$300, and then a rebuild kit is about $60 including new pads..
