Default How much would you pay for this eg hatch?








guys asking 5000 for it. it has a built gsr with low compression pistons and a 150 shot. there is some rust on the underside which was a surprise to me. i am thinking of trading my 99 ex coupe that is boosted...yes or no?

here is my ride. its a built d16y8 with 15psi on an edelbrock kit. running neptune rtp and 880cc injectors. 3" exhaust with a vibrant muffler. im thinking im just going to keep mine.





Thanks in advance!

hmm that doesn't even seem like a reasonable question is there a flame painted on the hatch? Your car is looking pretty good are those stealies on it though, those have to go... i am def. not a steelie fan

Keep your car, from what I can see your car is a lot cleaner, plus if you really want a b series, just save up for one.

But that's just my opinion, I have a 00 Hatch so my opinion may be bias.

newer car> older car

If you have fun with the D-series, keep the car... If you dont have fun, save up for a B, sell the D turbo kit and go from there..

i would honestly keep your own car, it seems more practical AS IN it can hold more then 1 more passenger.
+ the car is older then yours, so more maitence will be required.

Do you know how bad the hatch was beat on, or if whoever did the work has any idea what they were doing? Those are important factors.
Personally, I think it looks sloppy. The wiring, juice lines, coil, box, its all just kinda thrown in there. Like how the coil wire goes around the cone, no attention to detail, no pride in the work. Just my $0.02 though.

thanks for all the posts. sounds like my gut was telling me the truth. ill just keep mine! i really just dislike the weight of my coupe. i dont want to strip it to save weight either. i'll have a build thread soon i hope. i plan on shaving the bay and doing a wire tuck. im going to keep the single slammer to be the underdog. i like the look on faces when i tell what just beat them

Keep your car, sell the boosted Y8 engine and either build a boosted or NA GSR engine.

I say keep your car as a daily driver and pick up an EG shell as a project car. Pick up your parts as you can afford them and learn how to do everything yourself.

Definitely keep yours and save for what you want to do to it instead.
