oh sorry if we're just talking about "kits" and "lights" for your car, the 240 isnt' for you. I'm sorry I didn't realize you wanted to rice your car.
If you want a car that has good potential (we're talking motor here) look into something other then a civic, the 240sx is the first thing that came to mind because I've been looking to those while looking into an older 325i. The 240 has 155hp in the stock motor, which means it has more power stock then most of these civics have after their mods.
If you pop the hood on a 240 you realize there is tons for room for either a bigger motor (skyline) or turbo system. Or hell man if you have the money try both. But if you got the route of turbing, you're working with a 2.4L, running 10psi of boost you should be making just a little under 250hp (at the motor). Now try to do that from a little 1.6L and you're going to have to run alot more boost. Do some research on turbos, intakes and so on, you'd be surprised whats out there for the 240sx. Now that i think about it...
Just becareful off all the people that tell you to buy a civic, most of the time they themselves will be driving one and want to think they're amazing cars. check this link out
240sx it has some info on them and used prices you should be looking paying for them. Nissans aren't known like honda is but trust me, the difference between a civic (stock) and a 240sx(stock) is night and day.

Nissan's 240SX/Silvia platform has long been a favorite of performance-minded drivers. A front-engine, rwd configuration combined with well-engineered driving dynamics makes the 240 a winner.
