Ok, so I am choosing my first 4 cylinder. I need help on what to choose. I like the body styles of the 96-98 models but I don't want a hatch. Only a 2 door coupe. I plan on modding the car. Throw me some ideas. I want a good body style for racing. All help and advice is appreciated.

2000 is lil bit old for my taste.. I say the 04-05 looked the best...

Really depends buddy... If you want something for racing, the lighter the better. The older you go the lighter they come.... I have a 97 and that was my first choice. It's not to elderly and not too new and the body style is just perfect... But my second choice would be a 95. It's all on preference I guess. Just my opnion.

+1 for the 2000 model. Oh and get either an EX or SI.

Unless you have a **** load of money, go older then 2001 or 2006+ SI. I love my 05 em2 and enjoyed my old 02 em2 but as I have been taught through this site, 01-05 equals SLOW and expensive to mod. If you have money to burn though and your willing to add a turbo and crower kits + whatever else is needed or a K-swap to get real horse power out of a EM2 and you like something closer to a old school civic, then go with the 7thgen. I like the 8th gen but I prefer something close to the Civic standard, even if it's slow. Always wanted a 6th gen SI. That's my two sense.

hey, no double about the s2000. civic is not bad at all bad. At least a Civic with an SI, may be one with a vetc. Now a day, you have a hard time to find a civic. Everyone loves them.

Good luck, don't forget to post your car when you find one. I would like to see your choice. Some on line site, you can find some cheap one.

My friend find a VW 2003 hatch back silver and bargan to 7 grand. Nice paint only one ding and perfect interior. Clean...

do more research and wish you luck!!!
