i know what you should do.

buy my ek hatch and get a swap from aom and 5lug conversion

get your civic running right and get the apexi turbo kit or a greddy turbo kit

good point... well, you're going to have a hard time trading your car in its present condition, because a non-running car isn't worth much at all. even if you want to get something different, fix your car to as good of a condition as possible; even if it means dumping more money into making it run, do it, because you'll lose a lot of money if you try to trade or sell it the way it is right now.

Get a Trans Am!!

I though I had it rough with my vacuum-cleaner looking intake, but at least mine doesn't look like a johnson

But seriously, It looks like a clean car that you've already put a lot into. I say keep it and turbo that beast.

i would say to keep the eg b/c it is a little lighter than the ek. turbo would fit nicely.
