High mileage and automatic.
Needs new ignition and some minor bodywork (spoiler and trunk mainly)
Thinking engine swap H22a with 5spd.
Let me know what you think. He will go $999 clean title.

for 1k and if you plan on doing a little work, I would say its a decient deal. As far as the ignition goes, thats not a big deal, I even think I have an extra around someplace, I could let go for cheap.

Alright here is this one that dagle was talking about.
http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/car/419876965.html
Would this one be better already having the H22a, Suspension, LSD etc.?
What do you guys think. Which one would be more cost effective? I cant seem to find a H22a swap for less than $1700 plus shipping. Anyone in the Bay area got any for cheap

Id get the one that already has the H22 and came as a 5spd. less of a chance of something breaking or not functioning as it should if it comes from the factory like that.

two things...

have you seen the title on the cheap one? stolen and recovered usually means salvage.

on the nicer one... H22A is a JDM motor. You might be able to get away with it, but just be aware that in CA when they pop your hood they can make you pull your motor if it's JDM and not refereed.
