A buddy of mine is getting rid of his 89 Civic Si. He said he would let me have it for $400. Its 100% stock with ~260,000 miles on it. The car runs fairly well, but it burns oil and blows smoke out of the exhaust really bad. The head was rebuilt ~20-30K miles ago. He also replaced the clutch a year ago or so and didn't have the flywheel machined and there was a decent lip on it so the clutch pedal is really soft. All it would need is to be resurfaced. The body and paint are in fairly good shape. Do ya'll think this is a damn good deal?

I would pull the motor and toss some new rings and maybe some bearing in along with some gaskets and have the flywheel turned. Then I would use the car for daily driving and turn my current Civic into a fun, gutted weekend car.

 

yea thats a pretty decent deal. just get a new a6 motor and sell it for 2500

 

go for it..... getting a new engine shouldn't be too much either

 

If the body is somewhat straight and it's not a million dollar rust bucket then I say go for it. The interior and motor can be exchanged without hassle.

 

its just like buying a shell, take it and drop a b series in that biotch

 

nope, the car as far as I know doesn't have any rust at all.

 

grab it and stick in a DOHC ZC, its bolt in and has a lot more power, and its cheap/
