Hey guys i need your opinion i have a 2k1 civic lx ans i bought this car knowing i would do mods to it, but as the time is passing i'm starting to notice that these cars will most likley not have forced induction anytime soon..............And i have a need for speed.............So would you guys take the $5000 and buy a Kaminari Body kit,DC Sports twinn loop and a cold air intake and some smaller stuff like lights ect..............or.............would you buy yourself a 1993 civic with a Turbo already installed and NOS for roughly the same money and have a second vechile?????


P.S. the 1993 civic has over 200,000 km but seems to be running strong..[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

200,000km with turbo and Nitrous is NOT a good idea.....
It'll probably be fast as hell...for about a week...

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I'd have to see that civic, 200k miles i wouldn't expect TOO much more life out of it, specially if it already has a turbo on it that means its been raced....

That's a lotta miles to be racing a car on. I don't think it'll last much longer if you race it unless you wanna replace hella sh't under the hood including the engine and tranny for the most part.

Seems like everyone is going twords the 1993 civic , so are you guys saying for the same money if u could find yourself a car with decent mileage you guys rather get a car with forced injection??????????????And how about first generation Eagle Talons???????????

vasilli69

cars paid off already or i would buy and RSX but i was told i would loose to much money to turnaround and sell thiss quick........

If you got 5 G's and want to have a low budget fast car, get a 4th gen hatch CRX, etc.... and drop a B16 into it and keep it all motor! Everyone and their MOM has an EG!! Just my opinion...

Amphiprion

Get the 92 civic!! It would be fun to have a second car that actually goes fast......and if it gives you problems, well then it will be a project car (at least you'll have your 2k1, so it is not like you'll be walking to work if the 93 breaks down).

200,000 miles??? or KM i don't know if that would be more or less

my brother has a 96 talon TSI with 140k miles on it and it's quicker than ****. i believe he payed 2500 for it, though. it wasnt runnig at first but he just put a cam sensor and wuala! i wish my civy had 3/4 the power that car has.

artychris

for $5k, I'd put it all on the 01.

You could go with:
1. Kaminari Bodykit w/paint $1500 apprx
2. 18"s w/tires $2000
3. I/H/E $200/$250/$500
4. Upper Strut $150
5. Ground Controls $400

total cost: $5000

200k KM = how many miles?

<< It'll probably be fast as hell...for about a week... >>




HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA this is so true. for about a week. [IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG]

200,000 KM = ~120,000 Miles...
Too many miles for a car that has been turboed...
Too many miles period...

Maybe you could get a custom turbo put together. I was quoted here in Atlanta 4500 for a custom job. Or, get the I/H/E and a bottle of nitrous, body kit, wheels, etc. for roughly the same.
