i was just reading Honda Tunning & saw this new 2002 hatchback. The looks SUCKS! but man! the engine & stuff are awsome. It's gonna have a I-Vtec 2.0L DOHC 16 valves. and for all for 20k.
Im thinking between waiting to buy the new Civic or modify my old 89 civic HB (B16A+transmission+other mods+bodykit+rims...). either of those would be 20k.
man! this a hard decision. Need help.
What do u guys think? do I have more options on my 89civic?

fix up the 89, you might even be faster with just you basic mods. that car is gonna be so heavy that your b16a should beat it. and it soooooooooooooooooo ugly!!!
------------------

the '89 will definitely be faster. The new Civic Si 2.0l motor will still only put out 160HP, and I bet the car weighs almost 3000 lbs. You do the math http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/wink.gif

91 DX 4-door
AEM CAI & other mods which only add weight ;)
4-doors kick butt & I am patiently waiting for 91zc to pull that ZC!! I hope it is not fried!! Oh well..i did say I was willing to rebuild in my old sig didn't I? I guess here is my chance ;)

Gotta agree with you Chris.
It's so DAMN UGLY!!!!!
Love my 89 looks better! http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/biggrin.gif
I've done a lot of research, thanks to all the links u guys provided me with. Also in Honda Tunning, the have an article about Rob Walker's 90 civic HB. He's got a B16A with AC & power steering? Is that possible or it depends of the installation?

Power steering in a 4th gen civic??? Who needs it?? It is just added weight.

Sorry guys....I went to confirm..the weight of the 2002 Civic Si as posted at http://civicsi.honda.com is 2752 lbs.
Still heavier than our cars http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/wink.gif

Hell I found a sit that told me how to make my carbon fiber door panels. So I think the power steering weight will be ok. After the doors I?ll be doing anything I can make.
<~~~~~Just call him carbon fiber boy!!!

just curious...how do you figure that much? swaping a b16+bodykit+rims+other parts is well under $10,000 which if half a 2002 Si.
shoot, you could do a JDM front end and still make it out under $10,000
just my 2 cents...
