Default What do you think of this buy?

Yes, its time to move on. The car I have now, a 98 Civic 4 door is the first car Ive ever owned. Its a great little car.. But its an automatic, and not very fun. So its time to move on. Right now Im talking to the seller of this Integra. What do you guys think?

The one thing Im worried about is the engine swap.. Ive talked to the guy, and hes said its just because he wanted a more powerful Vtec engine. Is there anything I should look for in a swapped engine?

me think you need to check it out first before you buy it... and better browse... there may be other options...

ask him how he did the ls/vtec conversion. Im skeptical on stock blocks that are ls/vtec. Its your call...but if it blows...always a reason to build

First off i doubt he never raced his car why would he swap a vtec engine in then?e****ially if he just in college, secondly it was most likely an integra ls which is a b18 engine just without the vtec....definatly don't jump into it it's not just a swap but a rebuilt swap keep looking you'd be better off with a gsr in my opinion

This is the kind of response I was almost looking for. It's good to be skeptical.. I guess I'll go look at it. See what I can find out about it.
