Default i am new to hondas.....help!!

hi guys i just turned 16 and just got my first car is it a 93 civic hatchback my friend tells me they can also be called an eg what does this mean? is it because they look like an egg? i know people can make hondas really fast and i would like some help.. my friend also told me they make motors called ve-TECK are these things any good and how mcuh do they cost and r they hard to put in? he also mentioned special motors called v16 and v18 what are these? it cant mean 16 or 18 cylinder that would be silly!!! im guessing the v stands for ve-TECK... and if anyone knows where i can get those really crazy bumpers that all the cool cars have on them that would help alot.. and how much do those big metal wings cost? i think it would look neat if i put it on the top of the car with some of those clear tail lights!! and im not sure wich color would look better neon green or color changing let me know what you think. and if anyone has pictures of any cool cars like this that would be cool if you posted them!

Then he can e-mail me when he gets back to have this account un-banned.

I suppose I might as well answer these questions, even though I have a high suspicion that they're a joke. I'm sure there is someone out there wondering anyway...

It's called an EG because some '92-'95 Honda Civics have a chassis code that starts with "EG". No US hatch has this code, but some sedans and del Sols do. Yes, some peopel do refer to the hatchbacks as "eggs" though, probably in part because of the chassis code and in part because of the shape. I've heard them referred to as "jellybeans' because of the shape too though.

That's way too broad to touch on here. You'll have to research that. Engine swaps, turbos, N/A, etc.

Sure, they're good if it's what you're looking for. You really would need to figure out which engine best suits you though.

It's B16 and B18. The "B" just stands for a certain series of engines. B-series engines are 99.9% of the time a DOHC engine. They're all four cylinders. Some have VTEC and some don't. The next two numbers denote the engine's literage. 16 equals 1.6 liters, 18 equals 1.8 liters and so on.

This is the part that's really frowned upon on this site. Few people here are interested in body kits and other accessories which are normally described as "rice".

I'd suggest you look at different sites that sell body kits if you want one. The chances you'll find one here is low.
