Youre 16 im guessing? Any mechanical experience? If not I would recommend you NOT get a swapped and boosted honda. Especially for $3k theres gotta be a catch to that.

If you want a swapped hatch I think youll be fine considering how well its running. Get something with clean interior and exterior too. It doesnt have to be perfect but nothing that you should have to spend much money fixing.

cool

About 2 weeks after I got my license, I bought a 93 SiR JDM B16A EG6
so far I am happy with everything, an EG is a great first car.
Just be careful with what u buy though, if theres a turbo slapped on a B16A
you know he was drivin that motor hard...

Your first car should be a slow crappy car, then work your way up to something faster. You will kill yourself with a Turbo car.

That's the truth. Try to have some fun without becoming an insurance statistic.

Yeah don't buy one that is already swapped or boosted since you don't have much mechanical experience or knowlege. Find a nice, cheap Honda and buy a complete swap yourself and have somebody put it in. This way you can be sure that it was done right and you'll feel comfortable driving it.
