    lol, what CAN'T you do to a civic as far as performance. Civics have the highest aftermarket support of any car i've ever seen. you could turbo the little D it's got, motor swap it with B, H, or K series motors, or just build the D with a cam/i/h/e and some other stuff. your options are limitless with that car.

    i have an 87 civic. bought it for $300 last year, and havnt had to put anything into it. mine is the 1.3 liter...but they have the 1.5 si as well. there isnt much (anything that i can find) for support for it...but there is a site - http://www.redpepperracing.com, and it deals with the 3g civic/crx. great site...check it out.
