Help Me Out Here
Alright guys here's the deal...I'm not a speed demon...Shoot i barely know about cars and engines. I'm getting into this whole import racer thing now...And i got to be honest it's great.. My question is this...I like the Honda Accord Coupe, But i doubt that i'll be putting NOS or making major engine swaps anytime soon...I'll probably do the basics like changing the exhaust, intake, sparkplugs, etc...Plus putting a kit on it all that..Now here's the thing, should i buy the 4 cylinder manual model and save a bit or go with the 6 cylinder automatic model and go for the extra 50hps.. And then add on the mods? Or should i just go with a Civic all together?

If you want to race, forget the kit

Well a civic is going to weigh 300 lbs or so less than your car. IF your into racing maybe a hatchback would do nice for you. You could buy a older hatch swap in a b18 or b16 and mod it from there. If you reaally want to race thats the best bet. IMO id stay stay with the accord coupe those are sweet

Para los Cubanos....
I wasn't going to answer this question cause its kinda up to you but if it was up to me and I was going to do some racing or something close buy a Civic. If your sure your going to a Accord go big ballin V6 automatic and pimp that thing. Good luck have fun.

Sounds like a plan guys..So here's what i'm thinking i've found really nice Accord Coupes with low miles on them..I was thinking buying one making the mods for the exterior and after i reach a good amount of miles..Swap engines and then start on the mods for the engine. Like cool air intakes, etc..etc..Keep coming with more suggestions guys..I appreciate it alot...Thanks..
