Ok so you might remember I was looking at a 1986 Civic SI... but then I ran into this... and now I am up in the air on what I want... this already has a motor.. but it is kinda weird... it has a Type R block.... B16 Head... GSR intake Manifold... and a Y1 Transmission... so I am kinda lost when looking at it cause it screams one thing then you look and it is another... well anyways by looking at the pics what do you think the car is worth??

B16 head with GSR intake manifold? someone is pulling your leg... thats not possible to do unless you drill new holes in the manifold (ive only seen it done one time)

I wouldn't pay more than 3500 for it

 

I think it depends on what you like. If you like all the body work that was done on the car go ahead and buy it. I think WrongWD is right on not paying more than 3500 maybe even not paying 3000. Just out of curiosity what is the person looking to get for it?

 

The exterior is in terrible shape...with those nasty fenders, ill fitting bodykit and terrible paint job. Who knows whats under all that. The head looks newer than the rest of the engine, which may be an indicator of a recent failure or problems.

The car seems a little suspicious.

Agreed. Other than that it looks pretty tidy but I'd suss out the engine situation first

 

whaaat supra taillights?

yeah. that does sound weird with the engine. it looks like its in pretty good shape though. and 88's up look way better then a 86 ever will

 

id touch it if its no more then 3500

 

I would buy it...

 

looks like someone elses problem...my rule of thumb...never buy a previously modified car unless its a great deal...or you are stupid...

 

i would buy it if i didnt have those fenders and tailights

also, how do you tell the difference between b16 and type-r heads appearance wise?

 

That car has a gsr head on it. I bet if you look at the stampings, it'll read P72. The gsr head is pretty good with a little more low end than a PR3, plus it'll have .1 compression point higher.

 

those seats are

 

supra tails

 

that car is a 88-91

 

I wouldn't buy it cuz you are in cali and you cant get it smoged legally

 

well not really but it dose help when ones father is of the Police Force... in LA... so that helps... and I also... know how to get out of the Bar referee... so not worried about that..

 

I'd be leary of it. If you can get past the body work, have the engine checked out to make sure it's OK. That newer-looking head may signal abuse at the hands of the previous owner.

 

That body work is doo doo. I have those same cheap wheels.

 

i thought

b18C5 was the jdm version of the GSR motor..and the typeR motor is b18c

so you have a full jdm gsr motor..

jdm gsr was still stamped B18C

no extra digits were on jdm engines
