jdm b16?
depending on condition i would pay around 7ish (up or less) depending on condtion, whats included, etc

[yellows2k]

depends. prices range from $4k to $10k and above depending on what u get.
if its pretty std fair, then $7k sounds right

[Prince_James]

Mmm not sure i think its audm =S dont know much about older civics and stuff
Buhh the car has been worked and stuff ill ask him about it sometime but like im thinking to pay prolly around 6k give and take depending on condition
But since im noob with egs and stuff
What do u think of this combination
Make for a quick reliable daily do u think ?

i sold my EG with a JDM B16A (130,000kms), coils, headers, full exhaust system, intake, Apexi VAFC. for 7.5K

[tiah313]

mate of mine bought a b16 eg with type R cam, hondata ecu, koni suspension, mugen muffler and FGk headers for 6.9

[Prince_James]

sweet thanks for that guys

[yellows2k]

yeh, its a "depends" type answer. boils down to what ur happy paying

[tiksie]

I've seen them go as low as 3.5k, you get what you pay for though.

[he-tec]

same, cheapest i saw was for 3k. jdm b16a - with suspension mods. body was rough but everything was together and registered.

[MWAKU]

u pay for what u think its worth. its only worth what the market is willing to pay. if u look at the civic market atm, u can pick up an EK for 5k. and u still have idiots that think their eg is made of gold and are asking for 7k. u can get a teg type R for 13k. so, think about it. a b16a (not really quick, just revvy) in a eg. the power gain isn't enormous either. the eg6 comes stock with a b16a, so.. why would u pay so much for it.

everyone does the conversion thinking its like an investment or something, u loose money on ur mods, this isn't any different.

and if it has 150,000kms, on the engine, assuming, i wouldn't pay much for it. old car, engine getting old too.

[chauster]

eg b16a go for cheap now. everything is cheap lol.

i reckon d series egs are more rare lol.

[dougie_504]

If it were mine I'd be trying to sell it for like $8g depending on a few things. What suspension is it? Are the recaros in good knick? Engine healthy and compression well? Body clean and straight?

[MWAKU]

yea it all comes down to whos going to buy a 8 grand civic. you want to sell it for 8 grand, but who knows what genuine offers u gunna get. at the end of the day its stil a civic, and its still slow. lol :P jokes jokes. 4 more grand and u can get urself a type R in sydney. lol

[dougie_504]

Nice avatar MWAKU.

If it's a very clean and simple exterior, good condition interior, healthy B16A with tasteful bolt-ons, good suspension, good rims, good rubber etc then I would considering $8g for sure. I'm happy to pay for quality.

I paid $8500 for my EF8 18 months ago and I still think it was a bargain :D

[Prince_James]

Just got told that it has b16 jdm, with full exhaust, cold air intake, headers. Coilovers don't know what brand yet, recaros so yerrrr stilll trying to find out more about it and what else... Says it goes hard lols I feel so noob

[4age8u]

I've seen lowest 2k with coils hondata..I'll pay 5tops for a mint one

[chauster]

depends on the exhaust. if its a geunine name brand exhaust then it could flip the price 500$ or so. same with the coils. i really wouldn't be paying more than 6k.

eg shell = 3k
engine = 2.5k
labour + parts = 2k
depreciation = 3k

there you go

Mmm not sure i think its audm =S

Make for a quick reliable daily do u think ?
Cheers

AUDM EG didn't come with B16a, so it's swapped (most likely, or JDM).
And yes a B16a EG will make a good, relatively quick daily, as long as it's in good condition to start with. Get it checked by a professional and they will answer the reliability questions. Do this before you agree on a final sale price.

[Mikecivic78]

and what else... Says it goes hard lols I feel so noob

If the seller says "It goes hard" = "It's been raped"

[mocchi]

If the seller says "It goes hard" = "It's been raped"

lol. good insight. hahaha

[Prince_James]

mmm yeahh ill be finding out more over the next few days its just hard to get into contact with this guy cause he is so busy all the time buhh yeah
id be looking at paying no more than 6 k too cause otherwise i might as well just buy a vti-r
lolsss true true but i mean its not like someone is gonna drop in a b16 into a eg shell for slow and nursing driving xP

[Prince_James]

Just found out today that he wants 5 - 5.5 K for it and its got I think 16 or 17 '' white multispoke rims and stuff. The body has done 170,000 km and the engine has done 120,000 km. The body is fine cept for 2 number plate scratches on the front bar and a few scrapes on the left hand corner what u guys think ? Gonna inspect it this or next week

[dougie_504]

Sounds great IMO. Cheap to buy fun cars these days.

[henrygiang]

i got my eg ls-vtec with suspension, engine rebuild, LSD, recaro's, vafc tune, exhaust for 9G. Even that was a tough choice haha... max of 8G for a b16 IMO
