Re: civic hatchback

You need to be ALOT more specific, man. There are so many different hatches with so many different motor options and so many different power levels you can reach. What year hatch are you looking at, how much power are you looking to make. Bottom line, if its going to be FAST, its going to require maintenance and isn't going to be "trouble free."

Re: civic hatchback

I was looking at the 1992-1995 eg. I didn't know if I should put a supercharger, or turbo in it or if I was going to make it all motor or not.

Re: civic hatchback

If you were willing to go to 1996 the EK9 is an awesome car but a little hard to find.... It would be worth it because it has an awesome engine that can have alot done to it and would be more than suitable for a turbo upgrade when your ready

Re: civic hatchback

I've been looking around and I saw a 2005 SI Hatch. Would that one be reliable?

Re: civic hatchback

It really depends on what look you are going for the difference between models isn't massive mainly chasis weight and stuff like that but when you find a model that you like go with that cose no one can tell you what to like.... As far as it being reliable what do you mean by that cose if your doing a swap the engine dosent need to be in perfect order..... hope this helps a little

Re: civic hatchback

With a lip kit and a drop the EP3 is the dopest hatch. But without it it looks funny, I agree lol.

Look at ephatch.com for some ep3s, there are some clean ones on there.
