| I good platform is a civic hatch with a k20 motor. Those motors can produce 400 whl n/a and more on boost. It's also fairly cheap to get and maintain one. All parts are pretty much interchangeable in honda. You could use rsx brakes, etc in the civic. This would give you a car thats good on 1/4 mile and should be good as a track car also as long as you setup the suspension right. | |

You gotta be patient with this too, if your paper ain't straight don't even bother getting into the scene.
K20 is a high revving motor with high compression, wouldn't be good for turbo. K24 has a lower compression and would be good for turbo. But you could do it either way. High compression: Rev happy Low compression: Boost happy | ||||

| OMFG dont get a !!ing civic.........holy !! people start off with a good platform........ u need a RWD car first and foremost........if u want a real nice car that no one else is really pushing, get yourself a Gen Coupe R-Spec......either the 2.0T or 3.8L I got a 2012 R-Spec, boosted to 20lbs with a SFR Tune, Im pushing about 375WHP, without even doing anything yet...... and the car looks better than anything on the road as well | |

I don't think he's trying to get a "new" car to mod right off bat. He did say he didn't know too much about the scene so why suggest this? What he needs to find out is how much he's willing to spend and how much time he's willing to put in on the build. | ||

| ^^^^Im waiting for my test pipe to come in, along with boost controller Ive barely touched the car, and I will destroy you.......its a great platform, Im thinking of taking the backseats out and gutting the back, might start drifting next summer and I suggested it because is a car not too many people know about or care about......its priced well under its competitors, and gives you everything your looking for...... and yes Im pretty much stock now expect for a stage 2 tune.......imagine if I touched the performance side, you wouldn't stand a chance...... | |
