I looked at this 95 civic, has cheap coilovers, no name exhaust, BBS wheels powder coated blue no dents paint is decent clutch is to the floor decent interior had short ram intake but throttle body is took off and short ram connects there... my question is should I buy this car? is it worth $2500?

so you're asking if a literal pile of **** is worth $2500?

justin0498

alright got my answer

doctorake

WTF?

pissddrunx

i would not pay 2500 for something that doesnt run.

PerfectionIsKey

So you wouldn't buy a fully build and show car that someone put 40k in it, then only disconnected the battery, you rwouldn't pay 2500?$ xD



I would say, maybe a few pictures? it might not run, but we don't know enough about the car to know if it's worth that much or not. For all we know it has 3500$ bride seats and rails lol

What part of any of this screams "show car" to you? This tells me the car is pretty much crap. And either the OP doesn't know what he's talking about or this is some new way to run an engine with no throttle body on it. How does THAT work?

doctorake

Grumble you do not know about full throttle all the time!

Thats what In thought when in first read this...
Throttle body gone?

98civdx

It doesn't have a throttle body?

92lxsleeper

don't touch it. i got my 98 hatch bone stock in pretty darn good condition for $2000

jbpnoman

Maybe it was converted to run on diesel?

Kohen

Those two things right there would make me turn my head.


But I think OP is talking about this when he says "throttle body is took off"

i wouldn't pay that kind of money for that car u can find cars like that all day everyday around where i live for a grand or less i bought my 98 civic ex with a b18 swapped in it for 600 dollars sales tax included

Off topic here grumble....but it has been done. Infiniti (Nissan) use it in the new G37. There is a throttle body, but it is used primarily for creating vacuum for breaking and such. The primary throttle regulation is electronically controlled at each valve on the intake side.

Technically...you wouldn't need the throttle bodies.

Thats how the 1.8 R18 works when its in Vtec...

But this is a Civic. Throttle body is not an option.

B20DelSol

I understand, just giving out a little bit of related knowledge

jbpnoman

So it uses electronically controlled ITBs. Still has a throttle plate of sorts.

Keep looking, you might find something better for cheaper.
