d15b vtec purchase question

By breez
- Thu Jan 21, 2010 9:22 pm #170109 A local guy wants 150 cash for his single cam d15b vtec he says it needs rings but also comes with the zc tranny not sure if it has lsd or not and everthing is complete. What do you guys think if i was to get that and tighten up all the loose ends ?? Input appreciated especially if you have already done something like this . :thumb: THx in advance 8)
