170ks to much for that price u reckon ?

[trism]

in this time, alot of people will get rid of cars for any price

id rock up with 10k cash if i were you, throw it on the table.

see if you can get the receipts for teh changed belts

im only worried about getting defected with how low it is, and the rwc, why he hasnt got one is beyond me, obviously it will be a bitch with rta

[niiCk]

it has adjustable suspension?

noob question, but hows it adjustable and shit :S

[migoreng]

around 11-12k is the price for these cars at the moment...
hard to get one for 10k lol

fyi i got mine beginning of this year for just under 12k
full stock. same as the one you linked but with full leather interior/seats.

noob question, but hows it adjustable and shit :S

they have adjustable spring perches that adjust the height

[ANYHSV]

ahh i seee, how many ks till the motor starts giving out, 2.2l motor in them go hard ?

[trism]

yes, the H22a is a good motor

its honda, so they go forever with regular servicing

[ANYHSV]

will it be a bitch with the rta/rego cause of that adjustable suspension shit ?

[trism]

ive got it, and im fine

as long as its legal height youll be sweet

just make sure all fluids are good.
people say 250,000km should be easy if you look after it
love the vtec..especially when you're on the motorway doing a full throttle runs through second and 3rd gears
:D
and fuel usage is good if you take it easy. i get just under 10L/100km with mixed suburban/hwy driving

[ANYHSV]

hahaha as long as i beat my mate, he has a fto gpx 2l v6 mivec, fkn goes with extractors, hopefully i smash him :P
