would like to see pics so we can give you our best guess....

from what you state, its a bit much for im assuming is an N/A.

if it was a turboII then its might be feasible but only under certain circumstances

fc808vert 04-29-07 05:26 PM

kind of high if you ask me

jessev 04-29-07 05:32 PM

jessev 04-29-07 05:48 PM

do you think it would be quick

jessev 04-29-07 05:50 PM

if i do get it i am upgarding turbo and front mount

jonesfromindia 04-29-07 05:56 PM

its ugly as fuck. but i guess 5k is good. make sure everythin is in good condition and he isnt a dumbfuck when it came to swapping the engine.

jonesfromindia 04-29-07 05:59 PM

it appears to be stock. so its not quick but its not slow. you couldnt beat an rsx type-s but you could walk all over the base rsx.

jessev 04-29-07 06:00 PM

is 45k alot fo the engine

phoenix7 04-29-07 06:08 PM

if you DO get it you should make sure it is problem free before you go dumping money into parts that might not even be able to work.

Do a conpression test and check to make sure the motor IS in good condition. Make sure you see receipts and that the motor WAS replaced. I think he's asking a little too much for it though.

here is what I noticed:
Kaminari discontinued front bumper
bomex rear bumper
clean interior
good bodywork

NO ENGINE SHOTS!

I would not offer more than $4500-$5000.


45K miles on a babied motor is nothing
45K miles on a motor that has been beat up and rarely maintained is not good.

Unless you have x-ray vision you can't tell. DO A COMPRESSION CHECK AND DO A THOUGHROUGH INSPECTION. and if you ask us WHAT to look for then imma e-smack you across your face so hard your ancestors will feel it across time.

lol

jessev 04-29-07 06:14 PM

would you upgrade the tubo once its problem free?

phoenix7 04-29-07 06:15 PM

yes. I do recommend BNR turbos for their simplicity (when it comes to installing it and you don't need a special manifold or to change your current exhaust) DO a lot of research before you upgrade anything.

jessev 04-29-07 06:16 PM

yea and how much horse am i look at if i do?

jessev 04-29-07 06:23 PM

?

phoenix7 04-29-07 06:24 PM

depends.

stage one is supposed to be good for 300hp
stage 2 is good for 350
stage 3&4 get you closer to 400hp

you really shouldn't worry about this right now.

Asking about it now is like a 4 year old asking whether he should upgrade his tricicle with a harley motor.

Go inspect the car. That's all you need to do. Once you decide you ARE going to get it then make sure you do a tune-up (if it's needed) and go dive it. Get used to it, get used to how it drives and how it feels. Once you KNOW what you're up against you can begin upgrading your car. You cannot upgrade the turbo without first working on the FUEL supply FIR the turbo. DO a lot of research and don't get a head of yourself. If you're not going to listen to anything else you should at least pay attention to this:

If you rush into a purchase without first ensuring it IS a good BUY then you're going to waste $$, time and patience. DO NOT RUSH INTO IT BECAUSE YOU THINK YOU'LL NEVER GET THIS OPPORTUNITY AGAIN.

ight thanks bro

phoenix7 04-29-07 06:31 PM

trust me though. I'm talking from personal experience. I would have been able to buy an FD if I had not rushed into my FC purchase (bad motor and other issues when the guy said the motor was freshly rebuilt)

jessev 04-29-07 06:33 PM

whats fd and fc

jessev 04-29-07 06:44 PM

any 1 eles with advice

phoenix7 04-29-07 06:46 PM

SA= 1979-1983 My favorite
FB=1984-1985
FC=1986-1992
FD= 1993-1995 (2002 japan)

All this is in the 2nd generation FAQs.

jessev 04-29-07 06:49 PM

o so do you like the fc better than the fd
