ready told him man in my first post get a ej8 if you cant afford a em1...dem youngins dont listen all they want is a em1,dc2r,dc5r.
+1 to ej8, though it may not have a b16a2 or rear brakes, the two are essentially same, minus the face lift parts. Though many doubt the ej8, if u mod it tastefully, it will end up being as good if not better than a em1. I know, cause i have an ej8 :D
Nothing wrong with d-series, slap a turbo kit later on, an u b laughing, though that is what my plans are lol.
apparently only 500 of these genuine EM1's with the B16A2 where released / imported to Australia from the USDM.
so hence the reason why ppl hang onto these, if the engine blows - then upgrade to B18's or the new K series.
You will find it hard to find an EM1 with below 170thou clicks, considering the age of the car. if you find a car that has less than that ..then klms either been played with or someone just doesnt drive LOL.
i got my EM1 last yr same time, it had 190thou on the clock and paid 7g's for it when he was originally asking 11G's and just got desperate to buy his new car....but the condition of the car was immaculate inside and out,
if you know what to look out for (as in additional costs for repairs/replacements etc) then you can bargain with the seller with the additional expenses you got to spend on top of the car.
i had to get timing belt, new cam seals, vtec solenoid seals, all fluid changes which costs me 500 so in theory i spend 7500 ..for peace of mind.
good luck ...in EM1 hunting.
apparently...
