The last comment was probably the smartest. I should probably keep this 03' 4DR as my daily driver and possibly pickup a hobby car on the side. I've already got a 550hp 410ci 93' Mustang coupe though so I'm not sure I'll be too excited about a hobby Honda making 200hp.
Maybe I'll try and find a 2DR EX or CRX and build it strictly for Open Track/Auto-X. Hmmm?

That being said, I'd like to hear my best option for upgrading the motor. I'm open to a complete engine swap if that is the best option. I'd like a solid 200hp/180lbs tq. This car has a factory auto trans too so please suggest any upgrades that may need as well. I need to keep the auto cause rowing a stick in traffic is a PITA. I drive 45 miles each way to work daily.
Let me hear your recommendations and what shops can handle the swap/mods. Estimate cost too if possible.
Thanks,
Ryan
