EF Si hatch.

2.0 liter VTEC motor (preferably B18C-based), spiffy suspension bits, big brakes, etc etc.

Invest it and save your $$

If you HAVE to buy a car and you HAVE to build it, I would personally get a S2000, and a Comptech SC kit.

Just my .02

buy a 95 civic hatch, fully build a CR-Vtec motor, drop it in, drop your car, and save some money to bet people after you rape them with your badass sleeper...

Note: if there are dents and scratches, leave them, it adds to the sleeperness...

HAHAHAHAHAHA!

Anyway...I'd end up throwing it all into the suspension of a DB1. Okay, maybe not all. B20z and turbo would be fine with me.

buy a cheap *** civic hatch with the tailgate-strip it down-paint it silver-throw in a b18c5-work the engine to handle about 250whp-set up a great suspension system with wheels-go witha 2.5 exhaust system-probably hytech and drive the **** out of it!!! then with the last 2000 that i have leftover go to driving school and as many autox races as possible.

Save the money for a bit more till you atleast triple it.... once you have say $60,000.00 then buy an S2K... pull the motor, get it custom sleeved with 10.5:1 slugs, rods, etc... custom turbo running 28lbs.+ and you're set.... That's just what I would do tho.. hehehe Latez
