A 96 RHD Civic Type R with 40k miles...for 12,500. Is it worth it? Spotless just got here from japan.

Kamin

is it street legal?
legal = yes
not legal = no

also if its gonna be a daily driver no, its not worth it.

Why??? oh yeah, its not gunna be street legal if it comes from japan, unless they tear it appart.. before you buy it

Kamin

would you want to daily drive civic type r everywhere?

imagine parking that at the mall for a couple hours
or in a public place for a while. that is a THIEF MAGNET worse than any other car.

not to mention drive throughs, every riceboy in your area trying to race you or asking how you did your RHD conversion

ALLBLINE

Hell no that car will get stolen in less than 2 weeks.Unless your mob related,then i would own one

Irishweird00

very true... but its so worth it , plus if your smart you woudlnt race, or leave it in a mall parking lot

Kamin

think about parking it at work? or school?

you just cant watch it 24/7 its just not worth the hassle.

Irishweird00

buy a beater , your right but dont tell me you wouldnt want one... and for 12K thats a deal.. i think

gdrum

Yeah well see.....guy bought it and is selling it, just bought to sell, he is getting it legalized....they said you had to take to honda manufacturing place and replace reinforcment bars under bumpers and what not with bigger bars, and go thorugh emissions and other tests, lots of paper work but its not that big of a deal that people make it out to be. But yeah i thought of it getn stolen. He has 30 more coming in..yeah thats right 30 more comin in si-r's and type-r's but who knows...i really want it...just time and prob be gone after i bought it...

**** ill get it. dont drive it everywhere though.

Mag00n

you are muncie IN, you have to ask yourself how much of a target it will be? I dont know jack about Muncie. I do know where I live theft is a very SMALL problem, but it is definately not like that other places, I think this would be ur biggest concern.

gdrum

In my town people would be like nice wrx or something goofy like that.

naw man, i got my b16b motor for almost 5,000 with 10k on it. i say u pass on it.

ciRcuitJerk

if i had the money id do it...go for it

GapxGuy

If it's street legal then get it. If you buy a USDM EK and mod it half way of a CTR, that would cost more than the CTR. And about it getting stolen...Jesus, it's just a Civic that most insurance company can insure.

just a civic? any insurrance company can insure a CTR, but i guarante if its stolen and not recovered they will not import and legalize another one for you, they'll just buy you a new EK and say its the same car.

96 CTR's are still B16A's, and still considered a SiRII, not CTR's.

B16B's weren't made till 97, which is a CTR.

Not worth it.

JSPECEX

buy it it would be no different then parking a antique muscle car outside a mall. just don't be stupid with it. and it isn't that exspensive. a usdm 99 si with same miles is 15000 so i say go for it

UMMMM maybe you should read before posting. He's not talking about a b16B motor he's talking about the WHOLE car. He can get Civic Type R CAR for $12,500

ummm maybe you should check the pros and cons. ek9 shell/ stock= cheap + 5 g's for a motor w/ less than 40k on it VS. something flashy w/ all the JDM stuff inside and yes, take that chance of being stolen and then having to start back to square one after the insurence kicks in. Plus the hassle of getting that car registered for DMV/ smoged under the table. but then it's up to him.

R.toCar

i dont think you will have to about it getting stolen their are porsches and other exotic cars that they will go for over a honda so i would say go for it

CTR Kid

trust me there are people out there that would do it just to make a quick buck. hondas/ acuras are the the easiest cars to boost.

Good point; there's no such thing as a 96 CTR -- they only came out in late '97. Maybe you better check this thing out properly...

gdrum
