a question for all who noticed: what car is this from?? b/c it's not a type-r b/c it doesn't have power steering and the intake manifold looks a little weird kinda like a TSX manifold if i'm not mistaken....

it's one of them asian civics ... they come with a K ... but the K only has like 150hp or so ... but they do get paddle shifters as an option in some places ...

i should've thought about that... but it never even entered my mind that it could just be a regular k20 and not the high comp one...

Holy crap Sickyute,

sweet ride, but wow thats some complicated stuff. How long did it take to do the conversion? Also, how much would it cost? My budget is 25K can i do it from scratch?

[Iee037]

** edit on an Civic EX 07 Sedan?

[sickyute]

a 25K budget? u could buy a new car :d

if u meant 2500 ... u can get all the parts u need with the exception of the mugen parts ... then u'll have to pay some more to get them painted ...

it takes about 3hrs or less ...

[Iee037]

yea but be honest, how much did the car + conversion cost?

[getliquid]

another $2500 on top of my civic, i could have bought a CSX with heated leather seats and bunch of other stuff over the civic...

and u'd still have a civic with leather ... but check again ... a csx (not even a type S) costs more than 2500 over a Si ...

the car with navi costs 23,800 right? + dealer fees + title fees + tax and it's like 25, XXX OTD ...

the price of the conversion i can't say cuz i got great prices from the dealer and everyone would expect to get the same and that won't be possible.

[Azn Angel]

A type S runs for like 34 MSRP...why would you spend 13k over MSRP? I'd rather do a front/rear conversion for like 6k.

[sickyute]

i meant 23,800... for the Si + navi ... corrected it ... just realized it was 28,300 i had up there

[Iee037]

Ok, I will admit, I am very new to this whole mod-your-car-thing. I live in the USA, not Canada. I want my car to look like yours Sickyute. So, What the heck is a "conversion"? And how do i get one?
