Can't really comment on the Civic sorry, but if rallying is where you want to end up it's normally always cheaper to buy one that someone else has built, than to build your own.

Yea I was looking at 1300 NA built (USA though) with 130 hp, costs the same as a used 2002 Toyota Corolla!

I'd like to start with stock class. But I also wonder if they allow some mods. The mod I have in mind is a cold air intake or maybe as simple as just wrapping the intake components in insulating tape, and/or using insulating intake manifold gasket with throttle body coolant bypass.

My car had those mods, was slow before mods especially in summer when it's really hot outside.

p.s. I'm in Massey Auckland, had to drive 1.5 hrs just to get to my practice location.
