ok well im comming up 16 in a few weeks and i wanna get a honda civic. i can only spend 11,000 on the car. my question is wat year/model civic should i get and what should i do to it to peak it performance? also wat body kit etc could i add, wat u recomend?

[Eclipsor]

There's alot of info on these forums already regarding all those questions. Especially the performance enhancement. Use the search button up the top or just read back through the threads.

My advice would be to hang around these forums for a while, read as much as you can. Just so you know what model civics there are and the characteristics of each of them. As far as I've seen there isn't a "dud" civic to watch out for. They simply vary in performance and options. So just get one that suits your needs. By the sounds of things you're after as much performance as you can get, so probalby look for a si or vti eg. So these would be early to mid 90's models. Get one with as low k's and in as good condition as possible.

Check out the appearance forum for lots of civic pictures to maybe find a kit you like.

yeh, with 11,000, id personally go for a 94-95 eg vti, they have good performance and if you find a decent one, u'll be left with a couple of grand to do some mods/body hit to the car, but then again, dun forget to keep some on the side for rego and insurance, haha

buy a $5-6,000 Civic Breeze and then use the leftover $$ to go B-series swap and some suspension :)

i dont really think a 16y old should already be doing engine swaps lol

just get a VTi or Si

[Encor3]

yea im 16 and i agree with aimre
Im will be gettin either a civic coupe vti-r or a civic coupe vti
i think they are both awesome cars you cant go wrong with civics hehe

Just look around for a good deal. I recently got a 95 vti eg hatch, 111000 kms, 16inch mags, lowered, xforce exhaust system, b16a engine convertion, clear tails, custom sound, guages etc. for 11 g

Was so damn happy to finally find a b16a took me about 4 months of hardcore searching :P

You're 16 and you're in Victoria.. You can't even drive yet and you are buying a car? Why not save the dosh dosh till you're 18 and then buy the car? Just curious.. :)

[vtc]

your not going to get a vti-r coupe for 11000. Prices vary from state to state so why dont you just pick up the trading post and go look for prices of cars. Go to car yards and look at cars you like the look of etc.

[**Ghost**]

there is a EG6 for 12,000 all done up on the exclusive forums...get that... i would have

[jackosimm]

yeh an EG6 might fit that description

[Gsus]

thnax guys i reckon il get a 94-95 eg vti like Dynsaty sed, and btw i live in SA and i need a car coz i crashed my mums car whiel driving to mcdonalds so shes buying me one, also coz i got good grades last year. and for the EG6 is that more powerfull than the eg vti? or should i jsut stick with the vti since im a new. and btw it wasnt my fault i crashed the car.

[Kandy]

You still have 6 months before you can really drive it on your own so take the time to search for something you really like and can get a good deal on- unless your mother needs to use it? (Uggh I wish I could take my own advice)

BTW- why are you driving to McDonalds when you are 15?!? O.o!

[MoonSha]

I should crash my mums car sometime, it's a kinda nice car too :rolleyes:

[|N|]

take ur time... untill u meet the rite one.. value of car will only go down .. not up ... no point gettin it now if u cant drive it... unless its a really sweet deal...

[Gsus]

Yeah im not getting a car yet im just getting advice for wen i see a civic. and i was driving to mcdonalds coz i was hungary and its onli around the corner and i get told i look like a yr 12 so it thought i would get away with it
