So I am a proud owner of a 2000 honda civic dx. (150k miles)

Its a 2 door coupe, manual transmission, with absolutely everything on it as stock as when it left the factory.

I am about to get a new car, but I am keeping this one, taking off the registration and parking it on blocks to work on.

Now to take this stock civic and make it a very fin car to drive what would be suggestions? It wouldn't be my daily driver anymore and I can let it sit as long as the changes take while I work on it.

It already feels like a go-cart and I want to take that feeling and multiply it.
So this will be basically a wish list of things to look at.

 

If you want a go cart buy an rx7, the crazy light weight turbo engine up front combined with RWD is the best car in regards to 'go cart feel'.

I think you should buy a B16, install high compression pistons with oversized wrist pins along with 'high performance' rods. Then turbo it. And run e85. Besides that, do the fun suspension stuff too.

this thread is sort of silly, though. Its probably going to be closed for not being technical enough.
