What do you think I should do?

I have a '90 Civic DX with a fried clutch and messed up tranny (pops out of second gear). I have a $1500 budget, so what do you think I should do? I need something reliable to get me around until schools out.

either ZC or B16, its all up to you though

buy another civic...

LET IT BE KNOWN I AM IN NO WAY SAYING ANY ENGINE IS "BETTER" THAN ANY OTHER ENGINE! I AM MERLEY POSTING MY OPINION ON WHAT HE SHOULD DO WITH THE AMOUNT OF FUNDS AVAILABLE.

I think you should go with a Dual cam zc, or a single cam Vtec motor... OR if you can find someplace to swap in a B18A/B those can usualy be had fairley cheap as well... But seing as you need a new tranny as well your best bet is a single cam vtec package with trany/ecu... These can usualy be had for about $1200 SHIPED were as the B16A is going to cost you in the long run (Can usualy be done properly for around $2000-2600) Just to give you an idea...

NOW LISTEN YOU MOTHER FUCKERS, THESE ARE THE PRICE RANGES AROUND WERE I LIVE AND I DONT GIVE A FUCK WHAT YOU CAN DO IN CANADA OR WERE EVER THE HELL YOU ARE SO DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT GIVING ME SHIAT!

Have a nice day. :sly:

HONDABOND needs to speak to a doctor.

Everyone on this board knows what I'm gonna say so I'll say it anyway. :)
1st gen B16A. (prefferably with Y1 LSD tranny, if not I'll settle for an S1 or J1)

I knew you would come up with some kinda smart ass remark so I made myslef clear ahead of time... Asshole :grinyes:

or you could go an even cheaper route. get an si tranny outta the junkyard....build a home made turbo set up. youll be aight on that. or better yet....get a tranny and a clutch n save the rest up for something bigger and eventually better.

I decided to fix my car for as cheap as possible, then sell it. I'm gonna try to buy a DSM. I'm sick of messing around with my slow civic, besides, you gotta love Turbo AWD. :D
