Ok, I'm new the the whole Honda thing, I'm a DSM guy. I was just asking for some advise on building a 1996 Civic Hatchback. Just curious as to how much insurance is and how much the actual car will cost me. I'll eventually drop in a B16a, I do believe is what is was, and do other JDM upgrades. Please tell me what not to do, or what to look for when I go looking for the car. And first mods....no ricer crap either, all sleeper!
My ultimate goal: B16 with Greddy/Mitsubishi turbo kit! woo! big20g. :evillol:

Is there a such thing as a '96 Civic Si hatchback with the b16 already in it?

Just sedans, I think. If your looking for big hp #'s then I would recomend the B18a or B20, with a vtec head. Definately go turbo though, and that 20g will rock. Good luck!

Not in the states, but yes there were VTis (Europe) and SiR's (Japan) with B16A2's stock.

Well j-spec stock vehicles arent quiet helping me though...ha!
When you say b-20 with vtec head, is that the b20 from a crv (or some honda suv) with a b16 or b18 head? i feel stupid asking this , but i need to learn somehow. Thanks!
