For an ecomodder project, I'd get an EK Civic DX sedan, for the manual windows and such. I'd rather have a CX hatch but with kids a 4-door is more practical. Drop in an HX engine and VX trans...LX or EX gauge cluster for the tach. Steelie wheels, maybe lower it a bit. Oh and I'd want one from later in the life cycle so I get the rotary HVAC controls rather than sliders. Also heard a JDM ECU is better for lean burn. But my knowledge on this stuff is limited.
