seeing as which gas to use is a big debate lets see how much these cars actually cost us. & why we might use one gas vs the other.

 

paid 250 bucks for me and the wife project crx in the back of VW dealership about 5 years ago. looked good but bad at the same time. had 18' white rims (sold for 300 more then the car) all the interior was there just not bolted down. missin main relay, rusted gas tank and bad fuel pump.

 

18 foot rims shittttttt son. Monster truck status.

 

i love 18 foot rims. i woulda make an EF donk that woulda been hella tight. lol


i payed $179 & the motor was on the ground.

 

I traded the stock d15b7 out of my Coupe for my 90 SI back in 2004.

 

paid 160 for my 88 dx hatch shell and 800 for my already b18a1 jdm b16 tranny swapped crx with vx rims

 

91 dx hatch. 500 with a bad clutch and rust free body! sold the d15 for 250 and dropped in a fresh b16. i love this car

 

$2000 for my 90 si with an ls swap. Needed a car fast for a dd. It failed at being a dd. That's what I get for letting my brother check out a car instead of me. I think the car was worth about $200 in scrap money when I bought it.

 

paid 800 for my 90 si with a bad motor. car came from cali no rust. dropped in my jdm d15b and away i went. my DD

 

Yeah my car is rust free. Just when I got it the wipers,brakes,turn signals,heater,cluster,headlights,taillights,rad, and radio. Thats the short list of either did not work or were broken and needed repair right away. After one week of ownership I had to take two days and swap the whole wiring harness. Then another day to swap the entire breaking system from front to back including new front calipers,lines,pads,rotors,and master cylinder. Then a used rad from a friend. Oh and the car leaks water up front really bad. Hunted for leaks but cant find them.

 

430bucks for my civic -89. done about 45k miles, i'm the third owner. so i'm happy

 

paid 1800 for my 90 dx hatchback that was strait no rust good paint with an h motor online jdm b16a with ls webs just needed tires and new shift linkage. i am pretty happy with the deal i got

 

900 for my 91 Crx si (mostly unmolested-Tokico Illuminas + 2.5 exhaust only upgrades AND it came w/ JDM B16A Y1 LSD "extra" engine) I "Forest Gumped" ran the swap home 1st after paying,ha ha... My 88 sedan was a gift from an EX GF. (oh,and both my EFz are tuned for Tom Thumb 93 octane!)

 

2200 for my sedan three years ago. hasnt seen the road in almost eight months now

 

paid 1000 bucks for my std hatch completely stock and the guy gave me a almost a whole zc swap still on the crate

 

My first 91 std I traded a running 92 geo metro for a wrecked 91 ford probe and a 91 civic std with a "bad clutch" that ended up just needing the cable adjusted

My second an 89 std I bought for $200 with a bad distributor.

My third a 88 crx si I got for $350. It needs some minor body work (rust blegh) and alternator from sitting and a few other minor things.

And even though they are not ef's I also got a 92 lx sedan and 94 vx hatch for $350 each lol. The lx needed a main relay and the vx had a lot of miles and would not pass PA inspection any more.

 

I paid $5,000 for my Rex recently. Tahitian Green, JDM B16a, JDM front, minty stock 63k original miles. I consider it a great buy!

As far as gas only premium 93+ octane for my Honda's (except the Ridgeline)

 

i paid 500 for a 89 dx hatch, n 1000 for a ls motor swap, but i paid 1000 cuz the motor is not stock, so im 1500 into mine.

mine didnt come with 18' rims though dammit!!!!

 

Paid $50 for my 90 dx Crx that was going to get junked because previous owner couldn't get her running. My buddy fixed it in less than 10 minutes (tiling belt jumped). And driver her home.

Couple weeks later bought a complete wrecked 90 integra for $100. Stripped and it got my rear disc conversion and motor swap out of it.

 

I bought mine for 1500$ w/ 64,000mi on it, minor rust, cigarett burns all over the carpet, and no cigarett lighter! with a cassett deck! Blew a rod @ 109,000 and now I have a DOHC ZC
perhaps a bit too much but I was desperate 4.3 S-10 shot out a piston after a BAD head gasket re-install !!!

 

$500 about 6 or 7 years ago.

 

i traded my multi colored 87 supra hardtop with a blown motor for a 90 si with a blown brake line and crap load of rust. just sold it last week for 500 bucks and kept the gsr rims that were on it lol.

 

Paid about $9875 for a new '90 Civic Si. (October 1989) Owned it for 14 years.
I miss that car.

 

Paid $300 for mine. Rust free, but needed work..

 

Wow judging on what I'm reading you get what you pay for...hence I sold my 90' Civic Si in July for $5,800 with a stock B20. With the condition of my new 89' Si I would have easily paid $4k but I got lucky. I sold my low mileage Mitsu 3000GT with the intention of buying an 89' Si lol
