[got traction]

ok, i enlisted in the air force yesterday...so i will have steady money comming in, and i wont be paying for rent anymore...i want to do a swap, but am totally clueless to what i should do. any suggestions and rough prices would be cool

b16-$2-$2.5k
b16b-$4k
b18c1-$3k+
b18c5-$4k+
h22a-after alls said and done...$4k+
k20a-shitload of money

depends what u want ultimately...boost or NA
i'm personally going for b18c1..
hope it helped

im torn between a swap or turbo the y8

well we all gotta make decisions and most of the time they become huge dilemmas...

turbo y8 can be potent and cheap. 1500 could get a nice turbo charger on ur civic. 200hp out of a y8 is easy.

no love for the underdog?
b18b? b20?
FRAKENSTINE (ls/VTEC or b20/VTEC)?

youve been here 6 months, and have 1010 posts........youd' think you'd know this is a stupid dead end question.ATLEAST give info on what you intend to do with it, your goals, your money situation, etc.

be different. be the only one on here with a h22a coupe. thats what i plan to do when i get money.

how fast do you ultimatley want to go? 13's? lower? i would go with a gsr, best motor for the money IMO.

for me to s**t my pants you'd have to do more than turbo your d.which means swap.

turbo the d... they can make nice little cars with the y8 boosted. just need to worry about traction problems then.
