BADS - 3RD grinds only when u race , oil pan licks a lil oil , needs a paint right its on full white primer which doen look bad at all but some nice paint job would make the car a lot nicer

what u guys think i should do keep it work on it ? or try to sell cheap cuz not a lot of ppl are willin to buy a rebuilt tittle help me out plz thx

 

Seeing white primer would turn me off no matter what it had. I'd say get a decent paint job in either the original factory color or whatever floats your boat.

With what you listed and a decent paint job, I'd pay 5K. That's just me.

 

I dunno man the way you advertise the car just raises a lot of red flags... The fact that the car has a new motor when the chassis only has 100k... The fact that you are running an improper tune for the car... The fact that car is primered... The fact that 3rd gear grinds when you "race"...

To me this car just screams some kids project car that was beat on and not maintained properly... I'm not trying to hate, I just think if you marketed the car a little differently you would have more success trying to sell it...

get it emi blue again

 

So the trans is junk, the ECU is junk and won't pass emissions in many areas, the engine has been replaced, the car has a salvage title, and it's all primered.

Yeah, you'll be lucky to get 3 grand for that POS. Good luck!

"It's pretty clean" is about the last phrase I would use to describe that...

 

I was thinking the same thing.

 

if you can get like 5 or 6 k for it just sell it but just dont tell people about third gear grind when u sell it or if u like it keep it replace the cluth and give it a paint job

 

I want some of whatever it is you're smoking.

Especially since replacing the clutch won't fix his 3rd gear.

 

the clutch will help his 3 gear because if the clutch is bad sometime it wont engage and it grind in gear its so rare that a manul transmission is gonna go bad

 

Good luck hiding a gear grind on a test drive...

For $5000-6000, you can get a fairly decent example of an EM1, with a clean title and real paint. Nobody short of an idiot would pay that money for this POS.

Do you have a mental disability?

 

if it were his clutch it would be happening in every gear.

 

He would be lucky to get 3k, the only way to slightly hide the grind would be replacing the transmission fluid and let people test drive it right after he changed it so it can slightly hide the grind.

 

Poor car although it has potential not a lot of people have the extra $ to buy something your offering with still needs a lot of work and just because it's a si doesn't mean it's a rare car or it's worth a whole lot I'd say maybe 2,500 or 3k also And that's a maybe who knows what other surprises someone else could find out by test driving it or checking it out

 

I'd pay $2-3k for it. Any more is a waste for that condition.

 

3k if that, sounds like car is a pile.

Personaly, I would loose all interest after reading half of what you put down.

How much are you asking for the car?

 

How much are you asking for it? I would paint it, have the ECU retuned to run the proper motor (it will lose power and run bad on a Type R tune, because a Type R has heavier cams, and higher compression, along with a better header, intake manifold, and other things).

 

dont the b16a have p30 pistons which is higher compression im not sure if its gonna be higher since its in a b16 but just a question?

and for the car i would like to have your car for really really cheap no offense there is alot that can be done to your car that will make it a nice car

 

My honda use to grind 3gear and i just replace the clutch and everything was fine and he said it grinds at high rpm so it not that hard to hid it all u do is not let the people take the car to redline

 

It's a b16. You have to hit the redline to keep up with the mom in her Tahoe next to you so you don't feel like a lesser being.

 

LMAO! words of truth... i shall stick to my LS.. not the best but i sure the feel of it with a B16 tranny..

 

I literally laughed out loud.

Yeah, good luck with that. "Oh, don't rev it all the way up!" So what exactly do you plan to tell them when they ask why? "Oh, uhhh, ummm... "

How old are you, 16?

One of the most important things that I always do when test driving a car that has obviously been beaten on by some idiot kid is to tach it out in 2nd gear and shift to 3rd to check for grinds and clutch slippage. Anyone who has been tuning Hondas for years knows that the 3rd gear synchro is usually the first one to go in D- and B-series transmissions.

 

Exactly.

 

99% of the time its the synchros not the clutch, and also why would you tell the OP to not be 100% truthful when selling a car? Yet another reason hondas have a bad name

 

Hondas have a bad name?
