OK a buddy of mine has a '97 Civic DX Hatch w/ 100k miles on the body and a d16Y8 swap w/30k miles, DC headers, CAI which supposedly put out 160-70hp and it has sunroof, brand new tires and he wants to trade me fer my BONE STOCK '95 Civic CX Hatch w/ SOHC 1.5 thats got about 70hp to use it to drop a bigger engine in + he wants $2000. soo is this a good deal?? a few ppl said i should talk him down to like $1500? but he's a buddy of mine and he's in debt sooo i dont wanna completely ripp him off either. or Thanx in advance.

 

id keep it, with 2k u can get a b16 and put out more than him. and btw thers no way he puts out that much prob like 140 at the very very most

 

 

theres no b16y8, theres no engine that puts out 140 stock, the d16y8 puts out 127 and the b16a2 puts out 160

 

ok thanx....as u can see im not too much into engines...thanx again though

 

double check what he really has first if you do decide to trade..but like egcoupe said, with that 2,000 that he wants you to add, you could already get a swap and make your car just about as fast as his or even faster depending what he has.

 

well some other ppl I've asked saying doin it fer $1500 would be a good deal?

Well if he bought the parts off ebay they make more hp. I seen a intake that adds 20 hp and a resistor that adds like 10 hp and so on so he could have a 300 whp car just from ebay parts. I wish I knew why they put that magic power in the parts only on ebay??

 

thanx guys fer the feedback any other opinions?? my only problem is that i dont have time to do my own swap with my EG cuz in a month i leave for florida fer an internship and i need a car to drive down

 

bump

 

use the 2k to swap something into your car and keep it for yourself

 

h23eg i dont know if u noticed but i said 1 post above yours "my only problem is that i dont have time to do my own swap with my EG cuz in a month i leave for florida fer an internship and i need a car to drive down"

 

I'm confused...do you have to do the swap right away?

 

I'm not swapping anything........my only option is to trade my '95 for my friends '97 and its either now or never cuz he will sell it 2 some1 else

 

Ok...My opinion

Keep your car, save your $2000. Wait a year, and put a down payment on nice car.

 

bump...tryin to get as much feedback as possible

 

did you say his car has 160-170hp from those mods???

 

i am with everyone else take the 1500-2000 and do yourself a motor swap or just throw it into your engine you have now.

It doesnt take a month to do a engine swap so you have more than enough time. Save your money and buy a house or wait till you have a good job and buy a nsx or s2000.
