Hey,

Right now I drive a 2002 Cougar (V6 - 5spd) but I like Civics, they're just neat looking and seem like they would be a blast to modify...

I'm looking for an older one 92-96 I guess, something I wont have to pay more than $2k for ? The cheaper the better, I've got massive car payments with the Cougar... and only come out with about $800 a month spare money after all my bills, but that doesn't mean I have $800 a month to go soley to a Civic...

My questions are I guess are:

1.) How slow are they stock?
2.) How much is insurance usually? (I'm 17)
3.) What should I get? (CRX, DX, etc...)
4.) Do I have to do an engine swap to make it as fast as Celica's and Eclipse's or are they already that fast?

So sorry to sound like such a newb but I know hardly anything about these cars.

Thanks
