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?

Honda=Fail.

  other than the nsx, yes i agree


 

 Possibly the new NSX is alright, however the old was over priced for lack luster performance


Its handling was a class above most though and was fast for the amount of power it had.

highly debatable

I think you will find a vtec engine wont bolt into a non-vtec engine bay. Engine mounts and gearbox mounts are different.

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

 Ya but if build it myself i am talking about a car with zero miles on the transmission or the engine. not to bad of a deal to me. Maybe I am just seeing it wrong.


...Really, wat new honda can u get 4 under 15k with 0 miles on it. .

Technically, the Honda Civic Coupe starts at $14,8101. That's according to their website/MSRP.

Also, make sure the muffler is relatively this size, for a bold tone that all morons are bound to love.



LOL!!!!!

If you get teh vtec, make sure to get a fart can muffler and a park bench sized wing.  You'll be ultra cool

As said before try a scrap yard. Or better yet an owners club.

Thats a completely stupid idea... but check a junkyard.

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.


or u can look for a 99-00 Civic Si with VTEC already
Holden Commodore Posted at 10:52 am on June 27, 2008
it's not v-tec or v-tech, it's VTEC.

hinshawwrx Posted at 5:17 am on June 27, 2008
I'm LOLing at this person thinking a v-tec engine is something incredibly great.
