Nathan Riehl is an unknown quantity at this point

Hello! The name is Nathan.

Hey there. My name is Nathan Riehl. I'm 19 from Central Florida and I'm rather new to the Honda world. I'm normally a professional photographer, but I'm really interested in getting into mechanics. I got my '97 Honda Civic LX (5-Speed) about a year ago and I'm just now thinking about changing it up a bit with the internals. It works like a charm so far, but I definitely want more out of it. I heard a "Mini-Me Swap" was a good idea, that changing the Y7 head that came stock with my car, for a Y8 head, would make things a lot better for me performance-wise and that it would be easier for me than a Z6 swap. My dad (who is a mechanic, but doesn't usually do this sort of thing) said he's heard I could put an Integra engine of some sort in it to almost double my power, but I don't know anything about that or if it's even true. I just started all my research. Let me know what you think about all this.

Thanks and I'm glad to be here!
Nathan
