I'm being offered a pretty new B18C1 GSR engine for $1000. I'm 16 and that's about all I can afford, I'm sure this is a good deal but I was wondering if you guys thought I should spend the money on the GSR engine or wait and get another kind?
By the way it's going into a 1999 Civic CX with a d16y7 engine .

i would get it just to turn around and sell it and make some profit, keep it or not get it!!

 

what's the mileage on that "pretty new" GEEZER?

 

I think you should work on being a kid. Save your money for more importiant things, and before you spend any money on your car (especially something big like a motor swap) do a TON of research and save up twice as much as you think you're going to need or you're going to be out of your money and not have a car to drive.

 

Id say go for it. as long as its legit

 

sell it to me for 1200

 

Make sure its legit... 1000 for a gsr swap is quite cheap

F that there is nothing more fun than having one of the fastest cars in high school
i got my H22A my senior year. it was the **** i was untouchable

 

buy it for 1 grand, sell it for 3 grand, and then buy a really hot hoe and work on being a kid

 

He said it has 60 miles (not 60k) on it because it's been sitting in his garage and he bought it brand new. I don't believe him but $1000 is really good.

 

seems kinda shady, I'd think long and hard before buying it

 

if its complete meaning engine,tranmission,axles,mounts,wiring harness, then go ahead and cop that biaaatch!

btw: only reason why someone would sell a gsr motor for that cheap is either
1. its been stolen
2. hydrolocked and needs complete overhaul

I had two turbo setups and a NA setup before I was out of HS and I wish I hadnt wasted all of the money/time working. I could have done a lot more fun stuff in HS if I hadn't been so worried about my car. It's just a car.

 

next time u talk to him ask him out of no where
"So, who did you steal it from"

 

1 g for a gsr i think its a hot motor man i could be wrong

is it a complete swap?

 

most likely stolen or something wrong with it

LOL, i second that. but then my ride was jacked my junior year... **** thieves.

 

$1000 for 60 mile grs engine?!!? wtf? is that for just the block? if not, its definetly stolen..

 

I'll call BS on the mileage and that motor probably has flames shooting of it if you know what i mean.good luck!!!!...

 

it's probably stolen.. if the seller knows he can easily make $2500 out of it, why would he sell it for $1000?

no doubt.

It's either:

A. Stolen
B. rebuilt and blew up after 60 miles
C. Not even real
D. The deal of the week


I would say A most likely

IMHO,, it's hot off the street and he's tryin to get rid of it.. no one in their right state of mind would sell a geezer for $1g... ask for some paperwork then think about it long and hard.. good luck man.

60 miles? that's almost impossible for only $1000.......that would be a deal , but to tell you the truth , he's probably talkin scheet.............C1 , run the block/vin #'s and find out the history. ..........sounds too good to be true........check it out.

 

check the VIN and see if its stolen..

 

yea good idea check the vin
