Tons of questions... I need your help.

I'm new to this site and I love Civics'. I have had my '89 DX Sedan for a while and I recently rear ended someone doing 40 mph. I've called around to auto wreckers and they have everything I need. I was talking to someone about the front end and I mention the radiator thing that sits in front of the radiator and he told me that it might be the transmission cooler? I thought it might have something to do with the AC? My Civic has quite a bit of miles(209,000) so what should I replace as far as engine components go. I was also reading on here that I should start with the suspension before anything else, How much is a not totally shitty set up? And finally What is the cheapest v-tech swap and is it smart to buy and install CAI, headers, cat, etc. to my d15 if I do a swap? Thanks for reading all my questions.

I am trying to make a nice sleeper that takes corners.
Can you drift with a FrontWheelDrive Civic?

time to move on to another civic or other car

you might want to make sure you didn't bend your frame when you got into your accident. otherwise you'll be dog tracking instead of drifting.

uhh you have to ebrake for the most part to get into a drift and it wont hold for very long. its really an artform on a front wheel drive.

suspension can be like 600 to 1k+.
