found a 95 civic

well i found a 95 civic for 700 bucks so i am looking at the car soon he says their is tranny problems but thats not a big deal i am not going to register the car right away to save some money what would u guys do for the first upgrades???
my plans are to race during the summer an drive to school every other day so what would be the best choices?? also idk if its a 2d- ej1 or 4d- eh9 i got those off the chassis code page i have anything will help thanks

 

if it's a ej1 i would do something small to make it cool first (like coilovers and i/h/e) then save up for a nice swap (like gsr, ls/vtec, b20/vtec, etc.). but its up to you, no matter what it's a steal for 700. good luck.

 

check the vin the chassis code is the 4th-6th digits

 

yeah i havent seen the car but i am going to soon yeah thats what i was thinking der_meister i am just going to do chassis work maybe cold air intake and exhaust but then looking at maybe h22a motor swap maybe or if i get enough money K24 swap

 

k24 is my fuckin dream dude!!! besides a jdm 98 spec itr swap, but i would do a k24 with a type r head anyday!

 

k24 with a k20 head is sick......i picked my ej1 up for 1000 bucks and i built a d16z6 for over 20 pounds of boost....all for under 3000 dollars.......its pulls on any swapped car....half the work and same price!!!!! that 3000 dollars includes body work and suspension....look into keeping the d motor.....you can pull some serious power out of them if you build it rite

 

well i might just do that an i will be talking to u bout a lot then

 

yea i personally think its the best bang for the buck...then when you waste people and pop your hood and the see the d16 little vtec on the valve cover....the look is priceless...i love walking evos and sti's too

 

lol well i need to get the car first an my frined has a gsr motor an tranny that i may be able to get for cheap so i might go that way?? idk yet
