Get another civic. EP3. Funny positioned shifter FTW!
A decent one is about 8k these days. Although its a wēk'sós car.

If you want to be cool to revsceners then civic is definitely not the choice. Oh and fwd? forget it as well since there's quite a bit of fwd haters too. http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/bn...444252451.html |

Buy a volvo 240, you'd probably prefer a sedan/coupe. It'll cost you all of $200-$2000 tops. Then with the left over money buy some suspension from Kaphlenke, then buy a big holset and all other parts required for a +t and additional parts to support increase power. Might aswell put a t5 and a ford 8.8 in it aswell. If you do that, you should be well under your 8k price bracket and you could easily have a car in the 300+whp range. Oh, and megasquirt aswell.
There, best way to spend 8k. Or you could buy a jdm or some sort...
