Well a civic is going to weigh 300 lbs or so less than your car. IF your into racing maybe a hatchback would do nice for you. You could buy a older hatch swap in a b18 or b16 and mod it from there. If you reaally want to race thats the best bet. IMO id stay stay with the accord coupe those are sweet

Keep the 5spd 4 cylinder it was much more potential than a v6 auto.
