sup guys,

i have the following EM1





the frontend is mess up from hitting something pretty bad by the previous owner. the front frame where the bumper reimforcement bar is attached to needs to be pull out at the frame shop alittle bit. however, the motor is built. it has a jdm b16 bottom block with gsr head. it also has dents and stuff on the driver side quarter panel. the interior is clean tho.

the following car wants to trade me:

so, should I trade with this guy or am I getting rip off even though my car needs body work?

 

clean ef... the thing is do you like driving on the right side?

 

I have a rhd da and i love it. lol. the white da u see in the background is a rhd one. that's why i'm wondering if it'll be stupid to have another rhd car.

 

i woulndt man.. with a little work your car would be in awsome shape. Who knows if this conversion was done right and if any corners u may not see were cut.

 

that's what i was thinking too. if i have an ex then i'd done it, but i kinda like my em1. lol

 

keep the coupe. like you said who knows how that conversion was done. plus you can go through drive thru's normally lol

 

I would theroughly very theroughly inspect the RHD conversion.Make sure it was done by a profesional and/or someone with alot of welding experiance.you dont want that thing to have some weak spots or anything.
I like to buy all my cars as stock as possible even bone stock by choise because i dont like dealing with other peoples hidden messes and half assness..... just my 0.02
but seriously make sure the job was done good.

 

i checked it out and it seems pretty clean. then again, i'm not a pro at all. it was a firewall conversion and the engine bay is painted so you can't see the weilding. all the wiring and lights work. it also comes with the stock jdm radio and the equalizer. lol. all in all, i think i'm gonna keep my em1 tho. i just need to spend a little bit money on it.

oh and i only paid like $600 for the em1 so i'll make profit either way if i do the trade or not. lol.

 

like you said..if it was an EX then it would be worth it but were talkin about an EM1 so i would say keep that beast..

 

why are u considering the trade? Just not feeling your em1 anymore?

 

RHD EM1 ftw!

 

I'm obsessed with EFs lately... his car looks pretty sweet... but it probably does have issues... so does your em1 though... hard choice

 

if you like the ef then trade it. if not, then partout the em1 for cash or fix it. hows the motor built? stock jdm b16 block and gsr head is not built...

 

My em1 just needs body work. It has jdm b16 bottom block with gsr head. It has toda piston eagle rod toda vteck killer cam ported and polish head arm cam gear and among others that I can't remember. I did some deal to get this car so I ended up paying like only 600 on it. I'm gonna take out those cams tho since they sound like a muscle car. It's just isn't my taste.
