red_8 Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 hows it going?, Any way i would just like to ask which car do poeple recommend, the choice is a civic hb eg b16 or a del sol 92-95 1.6. Now i know it will be down to opinon, but i would just like to know which is lighter, has more tunning opportunities etc. So yea any suggestions and that will be great. thanks.

koffeeDC2 Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 tuning abilities would be the same but the hatch with a b16 is coming with a better engine already and its lighter i personally would choose the civic hatch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airjordan223 Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 yeah the b16 is a better engine, but its real nice takin the top off. id go with the sol and boost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatch92 Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 i'd say the hatch.... i have 1 so my opinion is biased also.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xer0 Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 on a piratical note, is this your only car? can u survive with a two seater? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red_8 Posted May 12, 2007 Author Share Posted May 12, 2007 yea i spose practicality is a good point but eventually i would strip the interior ( if i go with the civic) and put a cage in the back, actually i think i am going to get the civic just because they look super sweet with the jdm style. there are also two more things i would like to ask, (1) bit of a noob question but here we go, i have seen loads of civics with 350+ whp but its pointless because they lose so much power when the wheels just spin, i have read that with a good suspension setup it will all be ok, if this is true can anyone give me a ruff suspension setup (street only) will a limited slip diff also help, asi am lookin for big power gains. (2) another noob question lol , right i have recently moved to canada from the U.K, and i was shocked as i have never seen so much snow in my life, so is there any chance of making the civic a 4wd car so i can have as much fun in the winter as the summer. thanks again!

Hatch92 Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 1. the l.s.d. is always a good thing for gettin the power to the ground 2. that is waaaaaaaaaay to much fab work it could prolly be done with enough money but in my eye's not worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kastigir Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 You don't really need 4WD to drive in the snow. A FWD car and some driver skill is more than enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blizzard Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 You don't really need 4WD to drive in the snow. A FWD car and some driver skill is more than enough. Yeah, but it's soooo much more fun. I've heard you can do a B20 CRV swap for 4-5 grand, with a decent amount of fabrication. It's not TOO difficult with the right tools and knowing how to use them.

Kegger Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 He wants the whole drivetrain to make it AWD. It's not gonna get any cheaper than that. And it will cost a hell of a lot more in fab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondaswap352 Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 AWD is not worth it i wouldnt think. but i would get the hatch del sol is a good car but i just like hatchs better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..SSR.. Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 I'd get the Del Sol. It'd be nice to cruise in with all 3 windows down along with the roof off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's looking for the drivetrain too, then yea. I thought we'd already convinced him that AWD wasn't worth it? If you want AWD find a 4th gen Civic wagon.
