When I did back in the day(like 96 0r 97), I had a 91 Si CRX with a ZC Integra motor that I use to run in Palmdale(Yes, raced, not showed) out here in Cali. Then a few years later, I swap that engine with a Japan Spec B16A1 that did pretty decent. Then I got tired of it, sold it and decided it was time for a Lexus!
I will never grow out of Modding, it's in my blood. Everything I touch from now on will be different.
In fact, I might pick up a very clean Ek9 Hatchback(2000) Civic for $5,000 from a close buddy of mine. It doesn't have a bodykit or anything flashy like that. It has been re-painted Honda Si Electron Blue and it's sitting on Chrome Si wheels. No engine mods, just a daily driven car(Which I intend to do with it)

Import parts were slim but in those early '80's TRD USA supported a car. Race wheels of the day for my RA42 Celica was 14" rally type. Engine parts abound and still do for the 20/22R inline 4. Sadly, I missed out on new Mikuni carbs.
About as rice as it got was the black contact paper on the front windscreen with the funky "heart beat" pin stripe tape. No big exhaust was around but TRD still had stickers. (I didn't put on any though.) Only sticker was "Cinelli" on the back window.
Here is how it looked in the late 80's and today. Shaved emblems, blacked-out trim and a few engine stuffs.
