bland design, heaviest Miata, ugliest miata.

That being said its still a good car. Just the worst in terms of the Miata.

No matter how you rank miata's the NC is always last.

Basically this
/thread

just turbo the d16 in it.
I had a 96 Ex back in high school and college.

450cc dsm injectors - $40
walbro 190lph fuel pump $79
Socketed ECU, dataloggin cable, ostrich chip burner - $100-150
Used stock DSM side mount intercooler. Can use their factory piping but I invested it about $50 of hard piping for it. You can get the side mount intercoolers for like $10-20. Literally throwaway to DSM guys
used DSM 14b internally gated turbo - $75-100 for one in good condition
I used a $90 ebay manifold flanged for a dsm turbo. You can find adapter plates too though.
$25 stock dsm blow off valve
$200 for a wideband/boost gauge. I bought nice new ones though with a pillar pod you can used for less.

Outside of that, I used a dsm downpipe and had it modified by an exhaust shop. I spent $75 on the used 2.5" downpipe and $80 having the exhaust shop cut it and reweld to work on the civic. Then I just used a $90 ebay catback that I adjusted a bit and stuck 90a $40 magnaflow muffler on the back to keep it from sounding too ricey and it wasn't really a fartcan.

I made my own oil lines with $10 of braided fuel hose and $20 in fittings
Had maybe $100 in misc crap/gaskets.

Dont think I missed anything.
All IN all I know I had under $1500 in that turbo setup. Car put down 184whp.

With drag radials I ran a best time of 12.88@109mph.
That setup was together with NO issues besides a clutch for 6 years. Clutch started slipping and I put in a XTD Stage 3 $70 ebay clutch and it was still great after 4 years when I sold the car.

Was ridiculously fun. Reliable stock setup. I never had motor issues but if you did, another d16 is like $50-150 in good shape to toss in. Transmissions are a dime a dozen and easy to rebuild yourself. I never had to rebuild mine but I rebuilt my buddys cars a few times back when we were all into hondas.

Tuned on 91 I still pulled about 30mpg mixed and 38mpg highway.
Being 96+ the oil pumps can be iffy at high rpm so try to avoid the rev limiter.

>>17826413
and obviously going by this it helps a lot if you can just find a junkyard DSM to steal parts off of.
I bought mine mostly from guys on dsmtuners. These days you might have to go on dsm facebook groups.

Not sure how available it'll all be with your third world country.
But their stock parts work great for budget turbo civic setups. Lot of them are pretty maxed at the stock 190-230hp the DSM's make, but on the much lighter civics they are much more potent at 180-200whp.

>live in a 3rd world country
>saves up for years to buy a $3k civic
>and now you want to make it fun and fast.

LMAO

even people who are considered "poor" in America aren't this stupid. Dudes here will easily spend $10k on their civic making it stupid fucking fast.

and you from a third world country who can barely afford the car wants to throw even more money at it?

What in gods name am I reading? You'd be better off selling your car and anything else you don't need, immigrating to America and becoming a citizen, getting a job and THEN when you have actual disposable income you'd be able to afford modifying a civic.

Agreed

Tire rotation, tire pressure, battery, fuel pump, corrosion in gas tank/cap.

>>17826004
if the car is able to drive, would that tell me theres no fuel pump or corrosion issues

>fluids will all need changed
>tires may have rotted
>rubber belts may need replaced
>battery may need jumped

>car looks shit in pictures

Jimny. 4x4 and classic looks.

>tiny garage
>VW Transporter

wut

The radio on the sandaro is optional, alot of posters on here are jealous of that simple of a car

Honda hrv. The raised seat position is because the gas tank is under the front pas + the driver seat. I think its called the vezel in europe though

>>17825461

>>17825465
Havent had to do anything yet other than replace tires on my lacrosse. Also own an second generation explorer bought new with 250k+ miles that works fine.

I've had no problem buying american, summer is over friend

>>17825409
No, the best high-revving motor for poorfags still exist.

Any old 3k civic with the highest revving honda engine swapped into it.

>>17825409
>8th gen civic si sedan > coupe

>>17825417
I wasn't looking for the best, I'm looking for the latest. My 8th gen is falling apart and I'm wondering if I should fix it or get its modern equivalent.

>>17825296
Because girls (for the most part) aren't interested in cars outside of how cute or pretty or sporty or expensive they look.

Cars are generally a male interest

>>17825296
>girls don't understand cars
a quick googling would show you that there are literally hundreds of thousands of girls with a nicer car than yours and multiple track records

Why not sell the emission needed e36?

>>17825085
>living in a place with emissions testing
sucks to suck.

>>17825089
It is a swapped drivetrain, the conversion was not done with emissions in mind. I would need to source a new harness and equip the car with all the necessary emissions items and sensors.

>>17825067
just buy a civic for 3k.

I was in the same debacle as you anon when I was trying to get a semi older civic and my mom thought anything older than 5 years old will explode on me when I drive. Give it your all, she'll keep fighting back. But at the same time yeah if you're going in the 90s it'll be at a higher risk to fall apart, just get something in the low to mid 2000s.
