I don't think the thread direction matters anymore. Everyone already covered how he can just buy an evo and go that route. But for the sake of helping this guy out...You could buy a wagovan as was said earlier which is already a d-series drivetrain. Drop in a d16z6 build that up and throw a turbo on it. But replace the whole suspension setup. Most of this stuff will probably have to be fabbed up from evos, subys, or toyotas that are built to rally. After you have dropped a ton of money into fabbing up a custom suspension, drivetrain, and built the motor, you will need to upgrade the brake system, wheels and tires for dirt racing. After all that is done you will need a roll cage, fuel cell, 5 point harnesses, and helmets. After that gut the car and put two racing seats in there. Key point-chassis rigidity. work on that. front and rear strut tower braces, lower tie bars, h brace, c-pillar bar, on top of the roll cage. Also you need to add torque damper and poly urethane motor mounts so you don't go through motor mounts weekly. good luck man
yaaa L O L
the front bumper looks like a trophy shelf, but other wise, it's alright.
honestly, i'd stick with a d-series. you don't enter stock class with a swap
thats good. it's what he should have been thinking from the beginning.Haha, well I think it's cool. I'll agree that the front bumper is over the top though.
For all you that don't know. You've effectively killed his awd Civic dream lol. So now I've convinced him to get a dirt cheap eg or ef to fuck around with. You're right about the money part, he didn't have the $20-$50k up front, he planned on this being a few year project.
So now he's going to swap in a B18b or B18c1 to a cheap eg or ef, do suspension work, different tires, safety equipment, etc, and run in one of the lower classes. So instead of a 3-5 year project he's only looking at 6 months to a year.
On-Topic.
I wouldn't suggest it if I hadn't worked 60-70 hour weeks myself. If you want money to afford the nice things you want, you have to work for it. Nobody is going to hand it to you. If you notice, nothing I listed is overly demanding on time and even a few hundred extra dollars will help pay for new toys.

Did I call that, or what?
I'm not exactly sure what I'll do this summer. It'd be nice to work 60-70 hour weeks, I'd make bank. I'll probably end up trying to work that many hours, it's more purposeful than sitting around watching tv or playing video games. I'd sure like enough to swap in the motor I want by then end of summer too. I'm figuring it'll cost like $4-4.5k to drop in a b18c1, and then of course there are other goodies I'd like to get. Wish Volks weren't so obnoxiously expensive... So that'd be 500 hours at my job right now. It'd definitely help to have a second source of income.
Detail cars... I did it a few years ago and banked atleast $500 a week on tax free income. I put an ad in a local community newspaper and put out flyers in rich neighborhoods. You just need to come across as clean cut and responsible. It was awesome because I got to drive some really nice cars.
but there is opportunity with every position. now you can spend extra hours in the body department and work into it. or you could learn the detailing part of it and start your own detailing company. every job has a silver lining if you look hard enough for it.Yea I got put in the detailing dept. at Honda.... I applied for a body work position even though I don't have all the necessary experience, well they gave me a detailing position. I get to drive all the vehicles to be detailed, unfortunately most of them are a variety of 08 Hondas. I have more fun driving the Evo's, SRT4's and trans ams
