ef9 replica?? Caution or Buy? - 5/1/2008 3:05:06 PM    megafandrew Posts: 634 Joined: 9/1/2006 From: Calgary, AB Status: offline What do you guys think of this guys car for sale?  Should I have a look at it or pass on by, and what are some caution tips when looking at this car although it seems like it was well done.  He is willing to bargain down, im trying to get him to take at least 3 for it. http://calgary.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-cars-under-5K-FS-1990-CIVIC-SiR-EF9-replica-W0QQAdIdZ49191779 _____________________________ Post #: 1

Ive seen plenty of JDM conversions and that one just looks like a bad body kit. Ef9 looks clean like this on the other hand if you can talk him down a bit it seems like an ok buy. Not my cup of tee though. _____________________________ DOHC ZC (dead) SOHC ZC FTW!• K&N CAI filter • 90 Integra LS rear disc conversion (in reply to megafandrew) Post #: 2
