Oh boy, you've got a helluva lot to learn.

92-95 hatchback is probably the best chassis, has enough room for all of the engine bay parts to fit somewhat comfortably and is a fairly light chassis.

Engine wise, there are THOUSANDS of ways to do it, you'll need to research that more yourself.

I've bought from Coparts and Manheim in the past. ya theres alot of selection, but it all depends on what car you want to work with and what you are trying to do.

Learn the different engine platforms, learn the hp potentials of those engines, and learn what you can do to those different chassis.

well i guess incorrect spelling and a non-high (i spend to much time on HT) post count makes you one. those people feel better when they use it like internet bullies.

i say 92-95 vx or cx hatchback civic. it's a really light car def. a plus.
