Hi everyone

Thinking of possible future project, currently driving a Honda Civic 1,4is (90hp d14a4) running around 37mpg. thinking of eigher modifying existing one or simply changing into another car
Stationed in Sweden i have some choices.
all kinds of honda civics, what´s best in form of potential to modify and use as a good viecle. my requirements are a car that can take 4 pepole so crx & mr2 are out of reach, at least for now.. so what do you think

96-00 Honda civic 1,5 vtec(d15z6) hb vs sedan?, maybe swap in vei tranny price genarally 1700-5000$
Opel Calibra, engine swap to civic? price range 500-1000$

any more suggestions on cars to look at?
