Well I have a 1997 Civic EX that I swapped the engine out of. I put in a H22A1 JMD. I have a Full MSD Ignition System, Greddy Intake Manifold, DC Headers, Greddy Exhaust, Chip Upgrade (forget which one) Greddy Cold Air Intake, Carbon Fiber hood, Full Carbon Fiber Body kit and Carbon fiber Z3 Fenders ....Interior is very nice, 2 Tone Custom leather interior, with carbon fiber trim. I have rims and everything but I don't know what to do next to the engine...I have around 15-20,000 to spend. I know I am going to need a whole new suspension. I don't know where to go from here without just wasting my money. Any feedback I would really appreciate.

 

It all depends what you want out of your motor. From the way it sounds, your going for an all motor setup. If this is the case, get some high compression pistons and shot-peened rods, cometic headgasket, ARP headstuds, upgraded valvetrain (crower IMO) including cams, cam gears, etc. You got a lot of things left to do man, think about it over and over, and what you want to do. Do it right the first time, and most importantly research, research, research! let us know...

 

cams and gears would be the next thing you should do

 

wow..$15-20,000????
sell it and get a G35!!!!!
put a down payment on a condo....
just make sure in the long run like 5yrs, ur happy investing that much money into ur civic.
not trying to pop ur bubble or anything but just make a logical decision form here on out

 

:werd:

I didnt even think of that. 15-20 grand on a civic is outrageous! Make a better investment w/ your money. For 1500 you can easily be boosted and having a ton of fun!

 

yeah dude, i hope it was a typo and u meant $1500 to $2000...........
but hey, unless u really want to go all out, best of luck bro. start with a turbo yo!
