Why cant I post in other subforums?
I have questions I want to ask but cant post in the rest of the forums. Can someone fix this???
---------------------------------------------
Which year or generation Civic is the easiest / cheapest to repair, tune, modify, find parts, kits, aftermarket products?
Which has the most available parts or aftermarket parts kits, etc?
Between 98-2015?
I ask about 98+ because of ability to use OBD scanner tool, to diagnose issues and maintain optimum performance/ fuel effiency.
I want to find the cheapest civic that I can make it look like a 10th gen but I doubt its possible.
-----☆---
Because I cant afford a new car so my plan is to take someone's cheap civic, fix it up, rebuild engine to ensure gaskets are good, and reset the mileage so to speak, and rebirth it as if it were a brand new car ready for 400k+ miles.
I have never rebuilt an engine but I will learn. My dad is a retired mechanic so I might be able to get his help and guidance.
Thank you gentlemen for your help!

1996 was the first year of OBD2, just so you know. I do not know how the market looks for you in Toronto, but around here the 01-05 generation is the cheapest chassis... but it lacks aftermarket support. The 96-00 generation would have far more options, but I don't know how readily available and/or affordable they are by you. 2006+ has decent aftermarket support, but the costs are higher. As for looking like a 10th generation Civic... you're going to need a 10th generation Civic chassis... or someone really willing to spend tons of hours doing custom sheetmetal work.
As for your request on other subforums, this is from the site FAQ's:
It appears as though you've asked a question in the Wheel/Tire subforum already, so I don't see where you're having issues.
