    i say sohc civic really doesnt matter eg ef ek just that its sohc motor is small enough for you to work on by yourself. also if you mess up something there are plenty of ppl on here either giving them away or selling them dirt cheap. It will also build up your confidence to get your hands dirty with a motor when you step up to the sti,evo big 240 swap stage in tuning!

    lol you put a 240 in the same category as a sti or an evo.

    I would say any of those cars in that list, just find something thats not going to break down on you all the time. My first "tuner" car was a civic si.

    but my first car was a jeep cherokee.
