Okay so I found a guy selling a 1999 Civic Coupe with a b16 swap.

He says 210km on the body and 124k on the swap (I guess I don't really have proof of this)

Here's the kicker, he will take $1200 for this car..

Should I be there checking this car out right now? What am I looking for? I wanna put this swap in my hatch IF it's okay, should I take my chances?

My buddy wants to split on the car with me anyway because he needs the front and rear end conversion for his 1996 si.

What would you guys do?

 

make sure the vin on firewall matches the vin on the title, check body panels for alignment/new paint/bondo, check coolant overflow for oil, treadwear on tires...

 

Okay, basically this car is being bought as a parts car though. You mean match the VIN on the car to the VIN on the ownership to make sure it's not stolen?

I'm mainly afraid 124km is being rounded down from 300km, any telltale signs of a motor under 150,000km or under 90,000miles?

Does it even matter how many km if I do a hot tank and port and polish and rebuild?

Sorry I'm a noob to this, my expertise stops at body work and suspension lol.
