i think it's well worth it.. 3k plus your accord which is only worth like 2g's.. it's liek you're paying 5k for your civic which i think is an okay deal..

thats a damn good deal. actually your friend got ripped off....haha!! naw really thats just about right. your accord was worth 2000-2500 tops, plus 3k cash brings you up to $5500 at most. good deal. thank your friend next time you see him.

thanks for the kind word guys definitely brought my spirits up. hes using the car as a beater. with my money hes getting an SR20DET for his sil-80. hes hoping to have the car done in a month, so afterwards he knows someone who wants to drop an h22 in his accord.

That motor is worked. Port/polish and blue printing costs a pretty penny by itself. I say good deal

Doesn't sound like a bad deal to me, doesn't sound like the best deal ever either, but I wouldn't say you were ripped off. Esp since the civic sounds like it is mechanicly sound.

most def. i got pictures of the entire rebuild and receipts for everything. again thank you guys SOOOOOOOOOOOO much, you really cheered me up. ive wanted a hatch from the first time i saw one when i was 15. i was hell bent on getting a hybrid and when i jokingly introduced the deal to my friend, and he went for it i tried not to psych it up. everything worked out accordingly and i LOVE looking out my window now :D ive waited for this for so long and there are people here that can vouch for how much ive wanted one. thank you again guys and i feel privelaged to have such a wonderful commodity. i
