Okay i have a few questions for all you great members of honda-tech.

1. Whats the going rate for a d16y8 swapped eg hatch with AUTO trans??
2. Is it worth doing a manual conversion
3. The car has a pretty nice body and full interior
4. Im new

 

salem oregan eh.. i used to visit there alot! have alot of friends down there.. anyways, back to your post...

i would not bother buying a hatch with an auto swap unless you are prepared to do a manual swap.. dont rush into buying a car, especially if its something you dont want (auto trans).. it will save you alot of headaches in the future

 

^^ what g23 said. You can find a nice eg hatch with a D16z6 and clean body/interior + a manual fairly easy.

 

I agree, if you haven't bought a car yet and know you want a manual, just buy the manual.

If your planning on swapping soon, milage doesn't really matter. Just get a clean bodied car with no rust and a good looking interior.

 

yeah just find a single cam vtec eg with maual tranny.that would save u a lot of time doing the conversion and money

 

yep, it should be fairly easy to find a z6/y8 swapped manuel hatch for cheap.. my friends in salem have purchased bseries hatches for under 3k

 

Well i got the car for 500 with a nice stereo and stuff... Interior is damn near perfect its amazing for how many miles on the car and the metal on the car is in good shape needs paint but all and all in good shape. I think im gonna do d16y8 with a manual conversion
