- Sat Dec 03, 2011 4:07 pm #283923 1500 to 2200.. no more than that... remember that ur buying a modified civic more than likely the guy is not telling u something about the car because he wants to sell it fast... and later down the road you'll find out something about the car that u will have to fix sooner or later...

- Sat Dec 03, 2011 4:15 pm #283924 $3500 is too much. I try to stay away from swapped cars unless I personally know them or they have receipts/paperwork on the motor just my opinion
Pros
B16..unknown miles?
GSR seats
Fogs lip

Cons
Ls tranny..get a GSR tranny :thumb:
Paint looks like they rushed just to sell
No rear disk brakes

How many miles on the shell? Is it a clean title or salvaged?
Id pay $2500 tops

- Sat Dec 03, 2011 5:13 pm #283929 i would pay no more than 2k. the motor is good but the trans will do no justice. plus the chipped ecu might be ok but reving it to 9k is stupid, the stock rev limit is 8,200 and the injectors max out at 7k.

- Sat Dec 03, 2011 10:11 pm #283958 I'd only pay around $2000 for it. Try your hand at getting the price down. I bought an EK hatch for $2200 when he was asking $3500 for it and it's in mint condition. The worst he could say is no.
