Default I test drove a 92 Civic hb with JDM b16a...

OMG!...geez.....I wish I would have gotten a hybrid, but my mom won't let me. She says it's "bad" to replace an engine. And I ask her why, and she has no reasons..and'll just yell at me..dammit.

Ok..so this hb (red) has 6k milkes on the engine/tranny, power nothing, a custom cf hood, brand new paint, new looking 16inch rims, spoiler, sideskirts, custom red and black real leather interior, and all the bolt ons, for 7400 dollars. The guy gets major hook ups from shops in so cali.. It's such a deal, I wish my mom would let me buy it..I have the money..and I'd sell the GSR and make some money..dammit..

I dunno, but when me and my friend drove it, we were scared cause it pulled like a freeking monster! I guess I'm going to try to convince my mom to get it or something..geez

dood, convince your mom to let you get it, that is a good deal. a buddy of mine just bought a 93 Civic Si with a JRSC B16 and tons of other goodies for 13K in NE. Egg the **** out of her to le you get it, you'll be very happy and an awesome price too.

i don't think it's going to work..cause she believes that changing and engine is "bad"...I don't know if I should even argue, I've had enough drama with my mom lately..

Try and get her to believe that it is a Honda OEM replacement
Well it is as a matter of fact. Not to mention that it should be cheaper onthe insurance. You have a GSR now right.

Good idea, it IS a stock motor...but still, I guess I won't be allowed to get it. Even tho it would prolly be a better car to take to college, better gas mileage, lower insurance, less flash (minus the CF hood)..

OH WELL!..geez

im glad you are not getting it cause whats the point of fixing up your ride when its all ready souped up? a stupid dumbass in my school bought a 92 hatch with a custom blue paint and a ls motor already done by the previous owner and he thinks hes a badass. gosh!! i jus wanna kick his ***
