those are the spec on the car the owner told me that third gear grinds about 6000 rpm or up. but every thing else is in perfect condition
the price that we both agree on is 15700
you guys think it's a good deal? the car have a clean title

 

I have seen this ad too looks like its ok

 

720 cc injectors?

 

It sounds good as long as you're willing to take the risk of owning a car that's modded to the extreme like that. (In other words, don't expect any kind of reliability.)

 

Sounds like an old friends car...is the owner's name Leo?

 

are they on honda-tech?

 

i am not sure if they are on honda-tech or not i found the car on ebay

 

any other suggestion any one???

 

still try to decide any suggestion???

 

OT: There are 6 PY ITR's on ebay right now.

If you can deal with the reliability issues of the car, then I would definately check it out in person.

 

Personally, I'd hate to race it; in a straight line anyway. It might be a good idea to set aside a little bit of money in case problems arise if possible. One thing to consider, if the 3rd gear grinding is more than just a little "grind" you may be paying $18-20K in the long run. Get the grind checked out before shelling out anything. Good luck and if ever in Raleigh with it, don't try to race a FBP with a Social Distortion sticker on the rear glass b/c I'm not looking to get stomped.

 

replacing a 3rd gear + syncros shouldnt run more than 800 dollars or so. how did you come up with 20k?

stop trying to be an alarmist please

The only reason I say this is because I was going to buy an R from a Certified Acura tech in Charlotte would encountered the same problem before selling his and he replaced 3rd and it still whined/ grinded and actually contemplated a new tranny b/c he could get it at cost. It's still a bad-*** car & if that's all it needs, so be it.

i think he meant 18-20K TOTAL, as in $500-$2500 in extra costs.

 

$15700 is a good price.

However, do not expect this car to be completely reliable. Personally, i would never purchase a modded car like this one from anyone unless it were from a very close friend of mine and i knew it's history. In most cases like this, you are just buying someone else's problems, i know i sound optimistic but im just being honest. And i would not try pushing 22psi of boost on a non-sleeved block with only a power FC. I have heard of people hitting the 500whp marker on stock sleeves, but they were running a stand-alone and ran it on c16 octane while at the track.

Thats just my .02
