Hey all, looking for some Honda advice. I'm thinking about buying this EG and want to know if it all sound good. I haven't owned anything turbocharged before. I'm usually a RWD guy at that, lol. But my second gen RX-7s got to go soon. So here are the specs he sent me via email. I'm due to see the care soon.

22mm rear sway and it got rid of that nasty understeer hondas have

I'm offering him $4500 he asked $5200, but I think he'll take my offer.

Thanks all![/align]

 

for $4500, that doesn't sound too bad. How many miles does the car have? Is it the stock D16 engine? What kind of shape is the body in? Civics have a nasty tendency to develop some pretty bad rust spots on the rear quarter-panels.

 

The bodies pretty good, newer red paint, a few dings, good red/black interior.

 

posted pic. ~130k on body / ~80k on engine

 

yeah, I'd say definitely check into it... $4500 for a boosted EG isn't bad at all (IMO)

 

I'd buy that for 4500 in a heartbeat if I could.

 

4500? that car would go for 6-7 around here

 

He says it has a JDM d15b vtec motor in it... SOHC?? Still worth it?

 

Its got a d15 a weaker engine but since he has done so much work to it I bet it still is fast. I would want it but I would rather have a stock civic and do the work myself. I feel a great deal of accomplishment whenever I do something to my car

 

yea that has 5HP more stockthan the engine it came with (D16Z6). Both have VTEC and the JDM d15b has the same head as the d16z6.

Ask him how many miles are on the engine, and how many miles the body has.
