Powerwise…you can do a swap but it wouldnt make too much of a difference unless it’s a K20. Yea I was lookin’ around a lot the past few days and I think I would probably pick a 1992-1995 Civic hatch. I think a '91 hatch would be sweet too… Right now though I would have no clue where to start with the engine swapping and stuff. The B series engines are good and cheap and the K series engines are better and more expensive and then the stock engines aren’t very good unless you like slap a turbo on it but then it’s far more less reliable then a B engine swap? I mean, all the random info is kinda overwhelming for me I guess (lots of time to learn though)… I don’t quite know where to look for information… I understand 240SXs way better because this site has more then enough info on everything AND it’s local. Where do I go for Hondas? :S --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/a-good-first-car-with-potential/122538)._
