b18c1 with some 10 to1 pistons and rods with a hx35 is the final decision my tuner i been talking to said i'll get to my goal that i want.

Definitely wasnt slamming single cams. I was about 15 minute from picking up a JDM D15B VTEC for my Civic. That with the factory LSD trans makes a fun little car. Twin cams get a better aftermarket and make better torque for an NA DD. Im not a big from of having to rev the @!#$ out of an N/A 1.6 to get myself going. Haha.
Id be interested to see this build.

I love a good 92-2000, I had a bloated 97 sedan, but a few hundred in choice parts and it was quite fun to toss around.
I would highly recommend a rear subframe brace and sway bar. The subframe brace used to be pretty expensive, back when I had my Honda, but now i see copies for cheap on eBay. The rear brace, by design, is pretty beefy, so even if it's cheap quality, it will definitely strengthen the rear subframe. Anything over 17-18MM and you run the risk of tearing the subframe...which was what happened to the previous owner of the Eibach sway bar I had LOL.
Anyway, subbed to see what you got in store

Difficulty level just went from 2/10 to 8/10. K-swaps are titties though. Good luck!

Don't take this the wrong way, I know it's exciting to get new parts... but when I see a beat, faded Honda with nearly no quarter panels because of rust with unpainted add ons and a fart can I immediately think broke douchey mexican 16 year old lol.

^For once I agree with you.
That being said im interested to see what it looks like after some work is done. Ive never seen rust that bad before.
I like where it is going not where it is right now. And, if you ask me, the stickers make it look like it's owned by a

I miss my Cavalier, even if it made 100 hp on a cold day and had more suspension then it deserved.

yeah I completely agree with you but like the spoiler I had the factory one sold and I've always wanted a cf duckbill so I just put it on. As for the lip it's just a thing to put on its coming off. As for the rust I should be starting to fix it Thursday
The faded paint isnt even the issue to me..
First thing should be that rust to get money dumped into. :/
Paint match the lip and it would look clean, after the rust spot.
Picked up my motor for it....
H22a4 it's getting sleeved
