Ok, here is the deal. I have a 1986 Honfa civic hatchback. Its not running and in sad shape. The last etimate I got from CF Honda for parts/labor was 1100. I am thinking about turning this into a winter daily driver...oh course I want to mod it some. BUT I don't want to sink a bunch of money into it. With -8 points, I can't have another screemer. I just need it to save money on insurance and gas. So, give me some suggestions for...

1) Intake, aftermarket exhaust....NOT LOUD. This wont haul ass, so I don't want to be a poser.
2) Rims, tires, springs
3) head unit
4) seats
5) maybe a VERY subltle kit....maybe, but post some pics.

I will post pics before the start of the project. Trust me the car is in bad shape...ask Poindexter.

BTW, the car is white with blue interior.

please post links or pics.

thanks...this could fun for us, community project car.


OK, after some thought, I may be up for the engine swap, maybe.
