at the end of the day, does it matter what canvas a artist uses as long as the art is selling and the car is fast? while it may be easier to follow the crowd and use the same car that everyone else is using many people love cars for cars. i respect a well built civic the same way i despise a poorly modified ferrari.

to answer your question though.....hondas dont really need any special maintenance or any need to ever work on them when they are young. thats one of the reasons they hold value so well. uber low maintenance and extraordinary gas mileage.

with all the information on the internet about building them literally nothing you cant do. even make it RWD with a s2000 motor if you wish and your pockets are deep enough.
You sir just earned reps for life from me!!!

To the OP tho honda's are a good platform for noobs, you still have to deal with all the haters, examples above. And yeah you can buy an E30 for about the same price as a 94 honda, but they're uglier IMO and they don't have nearly the aftermarket support.
