Decisions hey guys,
Im new here, but anyways. I have an 2001 silver honda civic lx. [4 door] automatic =/ [Got it for free]
I have around 10 grand. I want to do some mod to the car..
Any advice of what I should do first? I already have short ram aem intake, and a universal exhaust.
I was thinking of getting a bodykit, and some rims. Do you guys have any advice of any good brands? *pics/brand/tire size (i prefer thin ones for tire size) type would be appreciated *
Im also thinking of turboing it.. maybe change the camshaft, tranny, headers? any advice on that would also be greatly appreciated hehehe
Basically, i got 10 grand to spend to mod of this car. I wanna make it sexiii hihihi (it has 82 miles on it)
Another choice is.. should I do a swap? Any opinons? and explanation why one is better than other ??

Rep Power: 273 yeah, bolt ons for the this series are civics are weak. take half of that $10k and do your engine swap. take the other half and do your suspension. then go tear it up at the autocross track and road course.

you should try the k24 block w/k20a2 head with hondata...there is a shop here that said he would do the swap for $5500...said he made 230whp after a couple of runs on the dyno...**** you cant beat that for the price....if your close to nc i will get you his number, very well respected and does the majority of the swaps in this area.
