^ Honda Civic SiR, Its 4 door Civic Sedan with a 1.6 litre 4 cylinder DOHC VTEC Engine. Year models i think from the SiRs in the country i have seen range from 96-00 model civic SiRs. These cars are light on fuel consumption but quick rockets. Easy to maintain, its engine B16a, parts available everywhere around. Best Bet for the money in terms of economy and fun at the same time. Price value- Max to max 22k for a 2000 model otherwise 18k average or even lower.

A Starlet P8 model with 4EFTE engine (GT model) is a nice car to drive. I've owned a non turbo P8 (2E-E engine), but a friend of mine owned a GT model, with a 4EFTE engine. Stock BHP is about 135hp, but they can be easily tuned (free-flow exhaust, FMIC etc but you need a piggy back ECU or a FCD, also the low/high boost setting can be easily bypassed so that you always have high boost, even in the 1st and 2nd gear). If you like the starlet, try to look for a Toyota Starlet Glanza, it's the new model starlet (+1996), it has the same 4EFTE engine, it's a bit heavier but the i like the exterior more).
Also, if you want a toyota, you might consider a Corolla AE92 coupe, altough i dont know if they where available in the UAE. It has a 1.6 4AGE engine with about 120/130 hp, but it rev's like hell (like a Honda engine ;))

There are some decent 4G63 swaps on Colts and they run crazy quick!
If you have the budget for the swap later on then I guess its a good deal at 6k.

Hey sorry bro... actually its a year 93 model, which he is selling for 5.5 k. He is the email which he sent to me last time:

I don't have any photos of the car at the moment, I have downloaded a picture from the internet of the same model and year except the car I have is silver not blue.
It needs no repairs, it has recently had a pre-registration service check, the following items were given attention:

1] Wiper blades re-newed.
2] Front discs re-newed
3] Front brake pads re-newed
4] Rear brake shoes re-newed
5] Driveshafts serviced and re-greased
6] Engine oil/filter changed.
7] Air filter, fuel filter, fan belt and cam belt replaced.
8] Various other items.

The car is ready for registration inspection and is as the advert says, in sound mechanical condition.

BTW how much will be the cost involved in doing the swap....... :| (Y)

Hey Friends...

Thanks a lot for your kind support.. The information was very helpfull and it helped me to choose my perfect ride... :grin:
At last I have gone ahead and purchased the 2000 Mistubishi Lancer LS 1.6 Coupe...
I hope you guyzz liked it :grin: ...
Now give me some advice on how to treat my baby...
I want ma baby to look different in the crowd than normal stock cars... what do you think I must do with it...

Tell me things which I can do in a legal manner. At the moment I would like to do concentrate just the exteriors and interiors.. eg front & rear lip or bumper, spoler, speedometres gauges (if advised), steering, etc. With related to performance and tune up part.. that I may consider later.

Thank you once again guyz for all the efforts and suggetions...

You guyzz ROCK...!!! (Y)

Nice car, expensive parts. Light as a feather, gets crushed like a bee. Be careful!
