I want to make a replica now that Im older and 15 years later have money to do what I want

I wanted to add, that the type R is a great car man - and a replica is an achievable dream (though personally I'd spend the money you'd have to spend on cosmetic details, on the engine, suspension and I'd put a damn AC in the car - hate that the majority of the swapped civics delete the AC - to me that's a must have). One of the nicest EK's I came across had a K20 swap for $7K - just needed a few little details to finish - it was sold pretty quickly (also no AC), but they're out there. It's funny, but when the whole civic scene started I hated those cars mainly because of all the stupid body kits and wings. I like the current trend of keeping the body mostly stock and only adding parts that actually serve a purpose.
