You have the chance to build a great sleeper. ---- the outside, do get the factory taillights and get rid of the altezza, and that's it. Find some OEM honda rims, from an Si or an Integra and put some springs on the car from ebay, $100 tops + the rims. and you are done outside for now.

The Boost the bitch. The first thing you need to do is the DPFI to MPFI swap. translated the 2 injector carburator look a like setup you have for a regular 4 injector intake manifold style. You can gather the parts for about $200.

The you are ready for boost. It is the best bang for the buck as far as performance you can do to a Honda. For around $1000 or less, you can built an HMT kit that could put the output of your car close to 200hp to the wheels, that's about 230 at the crank from your barely 100hp from the factory.

We'll help you out if you're not an ass about it, keep an open mind and read and research, no one is going to hold your hand and pull you along. Check if there's anyone close to your area. Show your dad what it takes if he's better with cars than you.

I say rock the rice angle. No one will ever think its fast or take you seriously for that matter. Take Noel's car for example. That thing is Rice Madness but in the end it will be a weapon. Whos the joke on then!

Re: To turbo or not to turbo??
 

that reminds of my civic. leave it like that and boost it or you could paint it flat black then boost. that is what i did. is that a std or dx?

Re: To turbo or not to turbo??
 

its a std. dual point fuel injection i think it says. the rockers are shot to ----. i think it would be fun to bosst this piece and take her to the quarter. My dad has already wanted me to race his 87 ninja 750. I know he would win. It would be cool to boost this bitch. I am prepared to get to work and earn valuable info from all of you guys.You guys may think i am an ass for some previous posts but i regret them and prepared to talk cars and preferably boosting cars. so all the information would be tight. i dont want no ricer you know.

Re: To turbo or not to turbo??
 

if i remember you said you thought the engine was giving out. if that is so i would boost it and get a feel for mechanics and tuning. then when the 70hp engine gives out drop a z6 or y8 in there and you will already have a feal for turboing a car

You need to stop thinking about it and just do it.
