I just bought a 94 civic 2dr, and im wondering what should i buy first and where can i buy it. It currently has a vtec single cam engine. It needs a new hood, and a paint job. I live in the Westchester NY area, anyone know of a good after market store? or a place to get a nice paint job?

 

welcome to H-T

if you're rollin in a single cam, the only hopes to make power (cheaply) is boost. do some research, and get some turbo knowledge before you slap it on. other than that, i recomend a motor swap (again, do more research).

first of all, i'd recomend some suspension, and security mod's, and some wheels to make ur new ride look pretty.

good luck, man.

 

im trying to set up a swap with one of my friends, hes got a 2000si engine. the only problem is im going to need new engine mounts, a new ecu and a couple other things to make it work

[FAQ] What swaps are available for my Civic?

If you don't see what you need in any of those (this is where the research comes in) or from searching then I can see making a post.

Good luck with the car

b16a2, eh? good motor

b16 is a much better platform to start modding instead of your single cam.
you'll enjoy it

btw, looks like batman threw up on your hood. since its trashed i'd say sand it down, and spray paint it black (thats just what i'd do, i wouldnt recomend it though)

 

thanks ron, i looked at the links you provided and although i did get alot of information and ideas on what i want to do, im still curious on if their are any good places in the westchester Ny area where i can go and shop

Seriously

 

def need paint job on that car..

 

Thanks you guys

 

id start off with suspension and wheels and tires then worry about engine mods. but its all up to u weather u want speed right now or if u can wait

 

Suspension first.
Of any mod ive done, the suspension was the most significant. When your car is lowered, stiffer, and handles much tighter, its like driving a whole different car.

 

You should find an old book called Civic Duty. It gives you a really good theory on how to tune a civic. It really applies to any car though, Get it rolling right (wheels, tires, suspension). Then get power (thousands of ways to do this). Then move onto your interior, and then lastly worry about how your car looks.
