i like 4 doors...you can make them hella clean. good luck with it. they are sometimes harder than coupes and hatches to make them look good but if you can do it then it looks great.

Weighs a little more, but probably has a slightly stiffer chassis. For some reason, I want to say the wheel base is different, but not sure why I am thinking that...

I say do the swap, get a lip, tint it a bit, and put a small rear lip spoiler on it. Should look nice a clean setup that way.

Yeah, that's a nice platform to start with. Get some good suspension and wheels, and go ahead and go for the engine swap. Should be looking as good as it goes no matter what.

I'd.....

1. Lower it
2. OEM Acura/Honda Rims
3. HIDs
4. JDM B18C GSR w/ new clutch
5. Intake & Header

I would add a little bit of cosmetics though... make it look more OEM JDM?

By rare he means there hard to find them in the condition urs is. you should throw money into it if u really like ur honda and if u want to. I have owned a civic sedan and there pretty cool to fix up. And any honda with a swap will be fun.
