RussianOG's Civic Build

you probably are already aware of this but just fyi your going to end up spending alot more money than whats on that list because your going to have to pay for installation on everything
also, if your getting an STi, i would just focus on suspension for the civic because its never going to be as fast as the subaru unless you dump alot of money into it

$6k is a budget build?

[ragedeep]

man you lucked out, out here i paid 1500 for a 94 coupe...looks great though

[Russianog]

2500-3000 for parts... Where did you get 6k from!?

Install will be eh... Not too bad. Especially when some of this stuff I can do myself.

ok so maybe not 6k, but u know how builds go... u always end up spending at least an extra grand.

The last part is absolutely optional and I'm not counting it.
It's also two racing seats for 800
