Ok I was thinking about buying a beat up older civic for cheap then buying a v-tec engine and dropping it in. But where would I get a v-tec engine at?

Why would this be  stupid idea? To buy a car at adealership I am looking at 14 grand. I can buy a car and engine and be out under 10 grand.

You could get a mid-90's civic and a v-tek for under 5 grand if you shop smart.

yea you spend 10 grand but you still have a 5 thousand dollar car....

Plus, it will still be slow even with a engine swap. And you sound like a dumbass so i doubt you will be doing it yourself... expect to pay ATLEAST 1K in labor for the swap.

Okay I'm glad someone else is agreeing with me because I thought I was missing something.

OP: It is a completely STUPID idea to buy a NEW car and swap a POS engine into it. Don't waste your money.
