I need advice about my 93 civic cx w/ b18c5 (It is not stolen)
I am thinking of selling my civic hatch. I was wondering how much do you guys think I can get for it on Ebay.
The car is in mint condition it does not burn oil or smoke and is very fast. It has a 1998 USDM b18c5 head with 2001 b18c5 block and cams and a 94 GSR tranny (I bought the engine because my old GSR engines head bolts threads were stripped by my ex mechanic) . I have put only 11k miles on it. I have receipt to show actual mileage I put on the engine since I bought the engine only eight months ago. The engine is an OEM replacement engine new from the factory! The car chassis has only 97 k (93 civic cx) miles on it w/ clear car fax.
I also have UR cam gears, Unorthodox racing aluminum fly wheel, UR pulleys, UR carbon Kevlar Clutch. Aem short ram, Krane CD ignition and coil, Kenji P28 ECU (installed last week) Enkei rpo1 16inch w/ wheels new front tires, Fastbrakes 11 inch kit which was installed last week. I have changed oil every 5 times before the first 3000 miles and every 2000 miles ever since—I know I am crazy (Mobil 1 after 10k). I always used puralator pure one filter with a magnet on top. I don’t autocross or street race. I would go into vtec at least once a day. I took great care of this car because I wanted to keep it for a very, very long time, however I need money to pay for a wedding and I think it is time to move on (I am very impulsive and I think selling my car might be my new year resolution). The mileage is from me going to School 200 miles away from home and coming back home every week end. I have dumped so much money in this car that it is not even funny and I think it is time for me to move on. I just want your opinion to how much I can get for the car w/ the swap or should I part it? Thanks

not really into the rims and there are no engine pix of the b18c5 to see the shape of it, so i cant really give you a fair opinion. judging from the one pix and mods, i would have to say 7-9 g's.

7-9 g's is way too much. 
Motor: $4500.
Car: 3500-4 (the car is in g00d condition as far as I can see, and that really helps)
Although I do know that most people think a hybrid is actually less valuable than a "virgin" car...I would still pay that price- assuming the same jack-off mechanic did'nt do the job

I don't think so...
Motor: $4500.
Car: 3500-4 (the car is in g00d condition as far as I can see, and that really helps)

On a side note, all that power and no suspension mods? The car appears to still have the stock height, did you spend all the money of power and no suspension setup?
for a CLEAN looking hatch. Good luck selling it.

Id pay 6500 to 7. Given the engine was installed correctly. It looks all right. the R engine actually does take the value down though

Just because a CX in good-mint condition will go for like 2500-3500 TOPS locally. That plus the motor and miscellaneous mods will tack on maybe another 3G's... thats just what I'd give you because I wouldn't buy something in confidence that I didn't do the work on myself or have friends do...
