Looking for some advice on souping up my 1st civic!
Hi i drive a 93 hatch dx 5 speed, So fare i mainly just focused on the Exterior of my car and now em happy with it. Now my Problem is my clutch is vary bad and about to go, the car is useing more oil than it sould, have bin told i have a main seal lek, and the engine runs a lil ruff its got 156kms on it. Right now im qustioning my self if i should spend money fixing what i have?..... or start looking 4 may be a engine swap of some sort. please help me here....
When i bout the car it had coil over sleves on it allready and i had it dropet about 2'' this is my other Problem my shocks r lekiing and my ride is tairable. I think its time to up grade my suspention a bit. .. I dont no much about this stuff... I herd i should get a lowering spring and adj. shock combo..? bec with coil overs i will run in to the same problem.. Is that what most pll do on there civics.??? What would be a good the way to go? I m a daily driver mostly in the city.. Could u pleace tell me if theres any thing ells i should be looking in to when up grading my suspention other than may be shocks and springs? would it be good to do brakes also ...

to replace the clutch/fix rear main seal i would be pretty pricey, im assuming you don't know how to do your own work.
i would just get a si engine/ecu(sohc vtec for moderate power gains and a cheap price. or if you had more moeny you could get a B series swap.they are not cheap to do however.
if you have coilovers i would use those with a GOOD set of aftermarket shocks like illumina's or koni yellows.
for brakes if your rotors are good just get a good pad, like the hawk pad. if you want extreme braking power upgrade to gsr front and rear brakes, proportioning vlave and typeR master cylinder.
