I've got a friend who wants to trade his '97 DX w/ D16y8 swap w/mods and with only 30k miles for....my stock '95 civic cx that has 114k miles + $2000.
heres a description of everything on it....
Its a silver hatchback dx with a d16y8 swap including...
dc sports header
obx cat-back ( and i have the stock muffler)
aem cam gear
dc sports short ram intake
aem fuel regulator
new wires and plugs
si shifter and shift knob
si center console
brand new bf goodrich t/a on the front and 60% tread on the back
brand new front calrion speakers
brand new pioneer mp3 player
new radiator

soo my ? is do you think this is a good deal i've asked other ppl and some say i can take that $2000 and do my own swap but i dont have time to doo that b/c in a month i leave for florida for an internship and im gonna do this trade b4 then cuz i need a car to drive down there....any opinions would be helpful in me makin this decision soo thanx.

 

new car, less miles on the body....

to tell ya the turth stick with the Eg, easier on swaps.... OBD2s are a bit of a pain in the butt and a bit more expensive too

EKs are a tad bit heavier too...

all up to u in the end either way its a honda

 

any other opinions?? i see alot of ppl are viewing but no1 is postin....the more feedback the better

 

I'm an EG guys sooooooooooooo.....keep the EG. Besides if you want to do any serious tuning (stand alone) you need to convert it to odb1. Not hard but just more stuff to spend money on.

 

bump...for more feedback

 

Keep what u got, unless you want problems when u drive to florida, and everyone knows what a pain in the ass it is when you get a new/used car you know nothing about, and take it for a long drive. Every noise makes you like (what the hell was that), so for peace of mind, I would stick with what you got, keep the 2000$, save it add to it every so often, and when you are ready for a swap, do that. And if you spend the $ on somthin else, then so be it, that just meens you didnt need/want it as bad as other things.

 

keep the EG. the swap will be easier later on...besides, the $2k you have to pay can be used towards a GSR swap!

 

alrite thanx guys....racerdave yur rite.....cuz that is definatly a long drive (bout 24hrs) and im surr ill be hearing some noises im not used to

 

What? Nobody says EK? I'd get the ek, newer, nicer looking, good engine, etc.


GET THE EK...it's a great deal...

 

I pointed that out that the Ek was newer, less miles on body and frame...i also pointed out that OBD2 swaps are a bit on the expensive side. Hell anything obd2 is expensive. OBD1 cars are so much more easier to work with. Although I do like the EKs id prefer the EG hatchbacks when it comes to swapping.
