Pro-touring Honda

[joemac]

Well, I hope I don't get laughed off the site for this thread.

My wife owns a '02 Civic coupe that is in great shape and it could become my project as she considers upgrading.

I have never liked or worked on any imports but I was thinking it might make a good pro touring project. So can imports be "pro-touring"?

Here is what I was thinking;

No gawdy body kits or ground effects, keep all the stock body lines
Bigger brakes up front and disc conversion in the rear
coil over suspension
Turbo kit
Good exhuast that doesn't sound like rice. Does anyone know of any that don't sound like dog poo, I don't like the mad bumble bee sound but think a good exhaust would be a worthwhile upgrade
Bored and stroked shortblock, ported head, cam
17" wheels that have a little dish in the rear, ie not tuner style
carbon fiber deck lid and hood
5 speed conversion
chassis stiffening components
maybe better seats and harness
upgraded cooling system

So what does everybody think?
