so.... new sol....

looked at this: http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...or=&cardist=25

it was nice, very clean, no major damage or even dents to speak of. for an 8 year old car with 128k mi it was great. the center compartment door was broken.... but beyond that it was a really really nice car. they guy is out of town for the week, but he told us directions to his house and even left the car unlocked he also has it rigged for a trailer hitch :wtf:

heres the catch, its an Si. how big of a step down is it from the VTEC?

when i found that out, i decided i wouldnt pay over $5500 for it, more like $5000 is what im gonna ask for, i just want to know if the Si is a smart move or should i keep on looking for the VTEC.

 

D16z6 motor instead of b16a. SOHC as compared to DOHC.


keep lookin for a VTEC.







and I hate when people call it v-tech. ITS NOT A PHONE!

 

personally i dont think a d16z6 is a bad engine. i like mine. but its your choice. if you get sick of it, just put in a b16. thats the best thing about hondas.

 

yep. It's not a bad engine at all. It will run after you rag the hell out of it. It just wont, however, put out the HP you want if you're into performance upgrades.

 

VTEC has bigger breaks, ABS, rear sway bar, strut tower bar, VTEC performance bar, B16 (of course), and...

But whatever you get, get a 95 and up cause it's got the gas light and a trunk popper.

Good luck :thumbup:

 

true, you need to upgrade it to make the power. BUT, if something goes wrong, cheap to replace. and also, all that other stuff can be put on, or even get better parts for it, so thats why base model stuff is always okay in my book (well for hondas)

 

Say what?

 

OEM upper strut bar.

 

yeah, but he listed the strut bar and the "VTEC performance bar" as two different things.

Is that the official Honda term for them?

 

i think 5k for an SI is too much.. i paid 5.5k for my 94 vtec with 62k miles on it
