Get another civic. EP3. Funny positioned shifter FTW!

A decent one is about 8k these days. Although its a wēk'sós car.

in that case, cross out civics from your list because they aren't cool in RS after the endless threads of the Si and fwd failure.

true. 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.

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...
