Well for all my life i have been a hot rod and mini truck fan and i have a 4.3l v6 that i built and put on craigslist and a guy is wanting to trade a 91 civic si hatchback 1.6l sohc odx header underdrive pullys and exhaust b16 computor he says that a wire under the dash is unhooked and it wont start what i would like to know is it worth it my motor only has 30,000 miles headers chrome valve covers timing chain cover and 450 holly

 

a working motor for a cheap (who knows what condition) non-running rust box with cheap parts? I say nay.

 

well he never said if it ran at one point hes sending me pics of it when he can i guess its all on the pics

 

DO NOT TRADE!!!

it is a POS

 

91 civic = $1500 - running.

He has electrical issues. I wouldn't offer him any more than $500.

If you think that's still worth the trade, then go for it. OR just buy the hatch and put the V8 in.

God I miss my beast.

 

No way, the person who has that Civic doesn't know what he's doing.

I would be afraid of many issues with that car. A B16 ECU will not run a D16 properly but he seems to think it makes it run better (which it won't). Who knows what other stupid and careless things he has done to it?

 

i wouldnt do it. theres alot of people who just try to trade there junk for things they can make money off of. deffinitly not good on your end.

 

I agree with the others. Stay away from that Civic, certainly don't trade anything of value for it. The guy did not know what he's doing, putting on stuff like underdrive pulleys and the wrong ECU. You'll have to undo all the mods he did, then find the real problem, then hope that the engine isn't shot in the first place.

Anytime someone is selling a car that doesn't run and says it just has some minor problem, that's clearly a lie because he would've fixed it himself if that were the case.

 

You need to run away from this so called deal. I would never buy/trade a non running hack job.
