I wouldn't buy it if he drives it like that on the test run

welcome

pretty ****ing dumb to be doing 140 in a 70 zone

12k is a rip off

i agree with that if ur willing to spend 12k on a vti-r i recomment buying a civic eg prob vti if u want a sunroof or if that doesnt bother you get a efi civic and theres a member selling a b16a on here for $3500 and from memory i think he wanted $700 for installation for for lets say 6g for a civic + $4200 for engine and installation you would have a quicker, (nicer imo) civic for $10200 but its up2u

i agree with ninzee and ash... buy a cheap clean high km eg for cheap.. and do an engine coversion

Thanks for the welcome and info guys, haven't replied for so long cuz I've had a lot of tests for school. My dad said my brother's civic who had an engine conversion lost lots of its value and it was falling apart. idk if this is true but i've never seen it break down, the dashboard just rattles like crazy, you can see it bouncing up and down! xD I showed this car to my dad and he says its a good deal, what do you guys think? http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/...s=17&silo=1011
btw i don't think he will let me get a 10 year + car cuz he keeps saying it will cost me a fortune to fix the problems it will have... There goes the civic...

If you can pick up an EK for 8k, there is no way it's going to cost you the difference between the EK and that FA (6.5k!) in maintenance/problems.

I think you'd probably be better off finding a low KM's EK, especially if its your first car. Try not to get anything with an engine swap, as soon as it's had a heart transplant, you have no idea on the quality of the swap and whether it's going to be reliable or not.

**freshert** · 18-08-2009 12:43 AM

Ok thanks mate. I'll tell my cousin to get a quote from a dealer for his civic, thats if he'll agree to it!
