i agree. the SI is the way to go. the older models are sluggish. and in order to get anything out of them you need to put a bit of money into them. even the newer model civics (01/02) (a bit being around 5-7 grand) we're talking engine swap, cold air intake, turbo/supercharger, headers/pulleys, exhaust system, and maybe NOS. whatever you do, if you plan on fixing up for speed, get a stick shift and throw in a short throw shifter. and some other small goodies you can throw into the engine that would regularly rob the engine of valuable horsepower.
but hey, if you indeed plan on getting a newer non si, go show! i dont have nearly the enough cash to throw around into my engine, so i decided to fix it up for show. comin along nicely. there are so many things you can do to a civic for speed OR show. you should just do one thing at a time so you dont get in over your head.
