Engine Build
new to the import scene what im looking for is a ek style civic, not sure if im looking for a hatch or a coupe yet, im also looking for 300-350 whp and also looking to turbo i have 6 grand as of right now. i guess the question is what would be my best option? buy a car thats already moded or should i just buy a stock cheaper civic and have the motor built by a shop? also looking for a good shop. im curently living in hamilton.

Most definitely build. Built is always better than bought. Now with your budget, it may just be a little tight. Could keep the d series, or if you get a hatch, get a d16y8/d16z6 throw a vitara kit at it and turbo. You will go over your budget, but that's just the price you pay to play.

$6000 would be enough to do a swap and a turbo it, if you did most of the work yourself.
Realistically, a swap costs $3000 (give or take, depending on which engine goes in) and a good turbo kit will cost $3000 (give or take, depending on which kit you use).
There are also other necessary expenses that go along with boosting a car, such as a good clutch, a fuel system, ecu modification and OBD conversion and of course tuning.
On a stock GSR engine 300whp is easily attainable on relatively low boost (10psi or so) and is safe for a stock engine.

+1 for Listen to WHATEVER ZEEMAN SAYS lol.
Personally I'd buy the car. It will cost a lot to build it, and it might never get completed. If all else fails... buy a b20, proper cams, better pistons and rods, and turbo it. Theres so many options realistically.
