I found a 92 civid dx on criags, and it looks reallly clean esp the interior, it had a b16 swap. He said he used to take it to the track and race, he wants $2500 for it.. yay or nay? im going to look at it tmr. engine has 100k.

imo i dont want anything thats been "raced"

 

[brownbear24]

it had a turbo on it also but he took it off and put the a/c back in, imean is it "bad" for the engine?

 

[R3dline]

id pass on it man honestly

 

[brownbear24]

alright..i was kinda skeptical when he said he raced it..ill go look at and hear it run and stuff, but thanks for the advice.

 

[MistahJuice]

^Agreed, just get something stock and work on it yourself. That way you know whats up with it, for all you know he beat the piss outta that thing and it may only have a few miles left before something goes wrong

 

[R3dline]

no problem man

Or maybe you can talk him down another 500 and get motor rebuilt possibly and be set

 

[brownbear24]

alright it just sucks to find something stock and build it esp where i live, lower michigan. Does the year and stuff matter really? like would this be a good project? cause i realllly need a car. http://detroit.craigslist.org/okl/cto/2739279710.html

he said hes firm at 2500, and imean isnt a B series worth about that much? so maybe something is wrong with it.

I live just over the border from you in Ontario and I picked a great little hatchback for $800. NO rust. My brothers old EF used to have a B16A in it. They are fun to drive but not that impressive. I'm not sure how you are financially but I would save for something a little more expensive that hasn't been modified.

[evilrilla2]

pass if its been modified. it will be warned out and you would have to fork out more cash to fix s**t.

 

[brownbear24]

okay yea i found this and am gonna pick it up tmr, http://detroit.craigslist.org/okl/cto/2739279710.html save and prolly just mod it..sound like a good idea or look for a better shell to mod? and use that as a DD

Well already has swap in it i suppose then. I'm personally not a fan of hatches never really have been. Its all preference I suppose. I don't know about their but here they always have shells in junk yards that have been stripped and what not. I know how you feel with you needing a car. I was in your position when I bought my car I was waiting on another car that was 500 dollars more and the guy wanted to completely finish getting it in running order before he sold it. The last thing he had to buy was a new oil pan. I found my car one night and went out and picked it up around midnight in bfe. I went from waiting about 2 months on a nice well taken care of b Frankenstein swap coupe to my baby i have now. I still hate myself for not waiting 2 more weeks. Its up to you though. You aren't looking at paying nearly as much as me anyways on the car so do what you will.
