If I go Honda it's gotta be a civic si. But my dad also said

Must be 100% original bone stock. So I can't get a k or gsr swapped one. Honda si with 60trim is ***** fwd or not.

is he gonna know if it's been swaped? as long as it looks stockish then it would take some knowledge to know it's been worked on. It's not like you're putting an LS7 into an RX7 or something, just replacing a I4 with another I4.


Also an RX7 could be fun, but the Wankel lacks torque and leaks oil like a mofukka apparently

If you have to go Honda I would actually recommend an EP hatch. There are a few guys in my area that have them built up pretty nice. One had a K swap and a nice turbo but he sold it in favor of a new project. Another one has a JDM right-hand drive one he just bought a few weeks ago.

CAB - Holy crap! Your co-worker's Element looks tigghhttt son! I like how you can tell the left muffler is just there for decoration since it's so much cleaner than the right one.

Yea I would love to, but it's still money I don't have. Plus I would need to get it all done I'm a day. I can't be without a car. Right now cause my car is off the road I'm driving my moms and she had to borrow my grandmas. So my parents always have to say some **** how it becomes their problems. Once I I've some money saved I'm probly gonna start looking for something, I got about 2-3 months before I buy. So I've got time.
