Please Help! First Car questions

[Stillin Z]

Just got 2 quick questions...

I'm 16 years old and my dad owns a used car lot, i go to the car auctions with him alot so i have good means to get a car. I already have a 93' Saturn sl1 given to me from a cousin and i dont like it due to the lack of moddability<--- that prolly wasnt a word either... ANYWAYS!

I've narrowed my choices down to a 92' Honda Civic EX Hatchback.

Please give me some tips on what kind of 92 civic hatchback to look for (ex: vtec, si, ect) also what is the best possible engine that i can drop in with the very least ammount of labor (ex: brakets or mounters or something like that) I am sorry guys and gals im not very knowledgable so please bare with me.

I'm doing my best to learn about the 92 hatchback and what is the best possible set up for street drag racing (parents actually OK'd street racing!)

Also does anybody know if i could possibly trade my saturn for the civic??

don't try to street race, its really lame

If you want a '92 hatch then get an SI, which you probably won't find at an auction.

A regular '92 hatch won't be any faster than your saturn.

Also, your saturn is plenty "moddable" just because there's no parts for it in the back of import tuner doesn't mean there's no parts for it.
