Should I buy wheels or a Motor. I dont know whether to go with a new motor or a nice set of wheels. For a motor it will be a fully built ZC, and for wheels its between Axis Maglites, or Rota Ciruit 8's. Let me know Gurus.

motor. theres no sense in getting some really nice lightweight rims if you cant hold your own on the streets. and isnt your car still primered? i would definitely go motor then cause you can surprise a lot of people that way

fully built ZC vs. wheels? thats a big ass $$$ difference there.. a set of wheels *might* run you a grand, a built ZC is closer to 2 grand..
I'd go with engine.

Of course I would want to look fast and go fast at the same time but if I had to make this decision, I would much rather look slow and go fast than look fast and go slow.

Seatbelt pads or some stickers would be the cheapest way:rolleyes:
Has anyone ever seen the body kit or maybe its a hood, but its got a spoiler on the hood. Hmmmmm
The best engine swap I ever saw was in a 91 CRX. It had a NSX engine/drivetrain, mid/rear drive. Now thats some shit. How about find a crashed S2000 & pull some parts & make yours rear wheel drive:sun: that would be sweet.
Personally I would try to fit some V8 & RWD, Civic would be so much better to drive if they were rear-wheel drive.

don't get those wheels because that's what i'm getting! hahaha j/k those wheels look so dope. i love the circuit 8s... wheels with darker colors and polished lips look soooo good when they're rollin... esp. on a lowered car.... and even MORE so on a 4th gen!
personally i would do motor... get the sleeper effect.
