That guy is on crack. Hell no. Kinda nice setup though, cept' for the gay ricer **** in there.

 

So how much should i talk him down to? and what do you mean gay ricer ****?

 

he means bodykit, etc. 12k is outrageous tho. the car itself is only work lik 3-4k, so as far as mods go im going to say they are work about 8k at most, so if everything was brand new maybe, but even then i would even come close to paying that. i wouldnt give him anything over like 6 or 7. plus all the internal stuff he could just be saying, i would ask for receipts. if you have 12k buy a nice car like a s2kor something.

 

bumb would really like some more input on this plz. i updated with more info on the car, and I was there when he was puttin the engine in. it does have all of the internals I watched him build in in the shop on base. Just wanted to know what you guys think about this.

 

bump could really use some imput guys

 

you can buy a k20 swapped ek for 12 grand

 

Well if i really like this car what should he be offering for all thats in it? what do you guys think. Im looking for a price range on what hes offering so I can buy the car. dunno if my origonal post was very clear. I just want to know with the set up on the car what i should offer him. thanks guys.

 

wouldnt pay over 4 grand for it, youd have to remove the body kit, andall the ricer **** and replace it and repaint that nasty orange

He didn't ask about the body kit. If he likes it, then so be it. As far as the LS/vtec turbo and assuming the body looks nice and the OP likes it, how much? Assuming most everyone on here is m4d tyt3 jdm y0!, if it is a JDM masterpiece, with all the same engine mods, what would YOU pay?

To the OP, regardless of the body kit, I know the seller put a lot of money into the car, but he can't really expect to make back hardly of the money he put into the car. I personally wouldn't offer more than 7-8k if the body is in good condition.

buy the ITR in my sig!!!

 

give him 6k and take the other 6k and turbo that b!tch, put some bump in the trunk and give it some more bling bling.. why is it gutted when you have a body kit and probably 5lbs of orange paint?

 

i wouldnt pay 12k for that car.. just buy a user honda for 3-5k.. then you'll have 7-9k to build your car. with that money you'll have a nice car if you shop and look around before you see your first thing. imo. but your money do what ever

 

i have spent less than 5k on my car, turbo carbon hood, volk te's, rebuild, chipped ecu etc you can build these cars for cheap, oh car costed me 2000 when i first got it, so it is really only 3grand on everything


do almost everything yourself and youll save alot

i rebuilt and turbo charged my d16 for less than a rand, but i had to weld alot and fabricate alot of ****, just shopw around and youll get **** for cheap

or you can be like everyone else on ht and focus on looks of your car with the stock motor in it, its really up to u

 

all those mods dont add value to the car

 

9gs tops

 

I paid 11k for my EP3 with 45,000 miles. adjustable Tokico's, s2k push button start, konig's, magnaflow catback, vafcII, neo gen's.
