Tell me what you guys think...i know the car is in sound condition cause a local shop did all the work and they are my boys too. They gave me the thumbs up as far as the mechanics of the car. Tell me what you guys think about the price.

Thanks again,
take it easy.

no thanks.

Why is he asking so little, basically, it's like you are paying for a stock Si and he through in A LOT of parts to sweeting the deal.

make sure everything is legit before you buy it....ask for reciepts and all....

All_Lag

sounds too cheap

what would a car like this sell for? he has shown me all the receipts and credit card invoices, and the schedule maintenance records, and the warranty for the electronics (it's all actually in a binder that he had in the car)...it all checks out legit, like i said earlier, he bought his parts and did the tuning from the same shop i bought stuff for my 240sx...i've seen him around before..everything seems legit

EK MONEY

5k on a boosted b16=boom soon. You have no idea how this car was treated.

try talking him down to $12k civic si really don't cost that much people on this board seem to think 13.5k is a good price but i've seen si's in better condition go for less, just got to look and wait around. but dont haggle unless you are sure you want the car first, like mentioned earlier there's always risk buying a modded car because you dont know how hard the person pushed it.

13k is alot of money....if your serious about buying...i would get the motor checked out...
the seller should be coo with it if everythings fine..he has nothing to hide...
just do a compression test....and or leak down...
i would also suggest you have some saved money for a new ecu/stand alone
and btw..drag manifold and downpipes are pretty strong...but once they crack...
your in a world of heartache....even if you re-weld and/or reinforce....it will happen again...
as far as the price...sounds pretty good...just make sure you know whta your getting before any money
changes hands....good luck

damn sounds good just check it up 2 c if everything legit check the vins and check if its salvaged

Sounds too good to be true....Personally,if i were to sell my old car(8-9 psi JRSC setup,full round of bolt ons,suspension work) i would have asked at LEAST 15+K...And that included 13 sec slips and all the paperwork....Sometimes things can be too good to be true...I just ould NOT trust buying a car that had all the work already done to it,but hey,thats just me.........You just dont get the feeling of accomplishment when its all said and done.....

What kind of fuel manegment does it come with ? Does it have a stand alone or is it a cheap VAFC hack like I have ? How was the compression test?

thats what i was thinking.
i guess if you don't mind the body kit or the wheels it's a good deal.

JoshuaVTEC

Man I'd be all over that thing, nice price.

The compression #'s and VIN integrity should be the largest factors. The engine management sounds pretty questionable. If the motor is still in good mechanically sound condition, it may be worth it to buy a stand alone ECU and do some do the dyno tuning out of your own pocket. You'll also need some adjustable cam gears and an ignition w/ a hotter spark, as well as new shocks.

Once it's all said and done, that car should be good for 12’s once you put it on a diet and get it to grip of the line.

ToneyTigre

**** his car dood. buy mine .

check out the sig man.

b16 matt

what kind of engine management are you running I am running the exact same set up. Go with hondata thats what I run. Bad ***!!!

b16 matt

V tec voodoo can lick my *****. you always talk negative I dont like you.

b16 matt

The b16 is the strongest b series honda motor hands down. It has hella webbing in the block in comparison to the b18's 5k boom on a boosted b16. bullshit I have 15k on mine your full of ****. vtec voodoo my *** honda discriminator should be your name because thats all you do. sell your honda, you dont deserve to drive it. Buy a ford and then you will apreciate a honda....

PhxK20a3

I had over 30K of boosted miles on my 00,and the motor was as good as new.Its all about maintenence
