Looking at buying this Civic. Will be my first Honda and i dont know a whole lot about them. I have seen threads in many car forums where experienced guys can pic apart cars based on pics and the like.. Just wondering what you guys think of this...

Says the b16a is out of a 91 honda integra. He got the whole front clip at a wrecker so thats how he knows the KM.

It is about a 4 hour one way trip by car and ferry away from me so i wana be pretty sure im gonna buy it if i go.





Thanks for any advise you can give

 

Looks good bro!

 

A white '89 Si
My favorite

 

$4800! cad are you nuts!?

you should be able to get a 96-00 chassis in good/great condition with a b16 or better swap in it for that kinda money.

example (in my area): for $4300

wrong place for this as well. no "should i buy this/that" threads.

 

But its a what do you think thread! lol ..j/k

Sorry if its in the wrong place

Honestly, I prefer the 1988 to 1991 look over the newer ones. Price is OBO though. Will have to see what he says if i go look.

 

ok well if you like 88-91's then check this one out

$1500 for a 91 Si with a jdm b16a that has 70,000 miles on it.

i'm just sayin man. you should probably keep looking cause that thing is way overpriced.

 

I have been looking for a new car for months.. seems everybody in B.C. wants way more then their car is worth. It sucks hehe .. I have 9k to spend so im not TO worried about it .. Not that i like paying more then i should.

 

looks like a nice car from the pics but make sure and look around it really well some people don't do very good swaps.. and the price is pretty high

 

Yea thats why i posted this thread. Im not sure what to look for in the swap. I wouldn't be able to tell if it was done right. I asume Honda would know how to do it. It was done at a Honda dealership.

Theres basically nothing in my town to buy. They are all a ferry ride away Its hard picking the right one when you cant just go look at them easily. I was going to buy a 96 Z28 but decided i wanted something small, good on gas and most of all reliable! heh .. But also something fun to drive!

Buy a shell and build my own? I would have to pay labor as i doubt i could do the swap.. Most i can do is change my oil :D
