It really doesn't sound like you have the kind of money to make any kind of power. If your not willing to drop 2 grand in one shot, your probably not going to go very fast. Honestly, your best bet would be to pick up an older car as a project. Keep your current Civic and just leave it alone. If you like Hondas, get yourself a 92-95 civic, 88-91 CRX, etc. and swap either a K or B engine in either one of those. You can always turbocharge it down the road. This way you won't have to worry about any issues with OBD-2 either.
