    4gen Fans,

    I have a 88 2dr DX and I need info on how to restore my civic with some modifications.
    I have a stock 1.5 liter engine I was wondering if I should bother modify that or do an engine swap. My goal is to atleast beat a V6 or atleast keep up with it. And for all other simple change up on the look I would appreciate your suggestions. THANKS

    If you want some real speed you will definetely have to swap the engine. ZC(130hp) is the cheapest/easiest, B16A(160hp)=more work/money. You can add I/H/E to your DX but you still will be slower than an Si and you won't keep up with V6's for sure.
    I would say go ZC or B16A (that's what I want smile )
    For the looks, paint the bumpers/door handles maybe even the side moldings, get some nice wheels.
    Or go for a bodykit, there are several bodykits available, check the products section on this site or check the site in my sig.
    Hope this is of some help for you.
