Thanks man. Ill always keep her stock on the outside because thats the only way a civic should be. Possibly get the paint detailed next summer too. Freshen it up a bit.
Also going with the poor mans motor to get boost outta it but should be fun for my first time swap and driving boost.I hope.

you should do a B16A for 3 reasons

1. Being that their not expensive can get a whole swap for less than 2k

2. Great high revving motor

3. Can handle up to 400WHP STOCK

It is purple sadly Project Barney ftw!! But yeah I\'m about to do a wire tuck, paint the interior from grey to black, new fender, sidemarkers, suspension work, and then paint it black. So I can\'t wait to stop working so much so I can start to work on the damn thing

1. $2,500 I can get it for..too much

2. High revving..but.. lacks a bit of torque

3. Maybe it can, but the B18B is lower comp, not v-tec but a b16 head will do.


I looked into the B16A2 and a GSR. Both too much money and i'd rather boost an LS anyday.

Sounds nice Jameson. Sounds like were going to have the same look.
I can't think of not being able to have a totally black civic I wouldn;t go any other color.

Black paint, black dark tint(5% back 20% front), black rims and i want to smoke the upper orange part of my tailights and keep the bottom half red.

Yeah we could probably be twins after I am done with mine. But yeah I would probably go with the LS too because of the torque plus if you are going to boost it then your ready to go! Plus you can always go LS/VTEC later on if you need the VTTAKKKKKKKK lol That is also what I forgot on my list tint. Good luck on your build man and maybe we can share pics online of each others build :-)

Dang bro thats pretty high for tint. I do it for a living and we would've done that for around 140-150. Keep her clean, I love black coupes.
