I want your opinions!

ive been trying to get alot of ideas together and create a shopping list to completely modify the entire car Im looking in buying a 99 civic DX (only 2grand and nnot many problems) I want to swap the engine to a B16A2 i found a whole setup for it on craigslist for 1500. I just want some input from yinz about different ideas for a sopping list.

here is the engine im looking at

http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/pts/2985150185.html

Also I was looking in all the visual mods as well and i found the car I want to model it after

I like everything about this car except the wheels so I was planning to get something like gold TE37s what do u think?

What do u think would be a good color combo for the interior as well? Im thinking of something with a good bit of white cause I like the way it stands out.

So any input would be appreciated. I want input on any aspect of the car.

Skip the B16 and get a GSR motor, the B16A2 is going to be underwhelming.

I kind of want to build my own engine but im not sure about it because i dont think i know enough about them. What is the price range to buy or build a GSR motor?

 

[cgpEJ6]

You kind of have to do your own research, it's such a huge range depending on what you do.

this will more than likely be driven daily but i want something with power but also a good price. I also want to drop in a turbo on whatever motor I choose.

I would spend more time researching and less question asking. You just said you want to build the car to your liking then ask what we think about gold te37's on your car you don't have yet. Baby steps get the car enjoy it, research, research, research, and then ask questions that need to be asked.

I've spent a lot of time researching and I want to hear other peoples opinions on what they think. I want to get a list of everything that I want to mod and then I will buy and install parts as I can afford them.

Buy the car get it running good. Report back.
