Thanks for the info thus car guys, it's been quite helpful already

In terms of model, i would definitely look into an EG/EK and maybe EM (will the em be heavier due to design?). I don't think i'd be interested in anything older like an ef but i guess i can't say without inspecting/driving one. Ultimately, it'd be an eg with k20a for me. Anyone know what these do the 1/4 in in stock/mild form ?

Thought there might have been a recent drought with converted civics, had a look on carsales and on here and didn't come up with too much.

Thanks for the the notice yellows2k, but without having sold my car first, this is all just research atm. And seeing as how it's pretty hard to sell cars atm, it might be awhile
