I just got a 1996 Honda Civic HX(econoboxxx).
And i need some advice on what i should do..
Im doing an engine swap with a b16 or 18 or h22. IM not sure yet.
The engine swap will probably come early next year. By then ill have the money. As for now my plans are: I want to get Koni yellows or Skunk2 coilovers, 1996 type R front lip and back, other than that.. im not sure what to do.. should i get an intake and fart can just to hold myself over? Or should i just go with my plan and w8 for next year?! Oh another thing is.. i dont plan on forced induction so.. maybe shouldn't get a b16 or 18 and just go with the h22 cause of the power.. i dunno i have an open mind. Suggestions please.

wait, if anything, do more to your suspension. A fun car is one that is fast around corners, not just down a straight line.

So just incase you go with a heavier engine, suspension can handle it.

I have heard good things about the Koni and the Tein. I like the b16 (with turbo) Im not a huge fan of the H22.

Get B18 Type-R. More power and torque.
