First off, I am a complete Honda noob, so please forgive my ignorance. I currently drive an E38 1999 BMW 740i and I am looking for something more tune-friendly. Specifically a 6th gen Civic hatchback.
Question #1: EK9 Civic's are only Type-R and only in Japan, correct? And here in the United States, all we have is the EJ9, correct?
Question #2: Lets say I wanted to go buy a manual 6th Gen Civic Hatchback here in the US. Would it be easy to mod that one with Honda engine swaps and such (b16, b18, etc)? Basically, can I make it into a Type-R with JDM-style parts?
Please forgive me for these questions, but I am confused with all the different chassis codes and all.
