cranny Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 80,000 miles on what the car or the engine? its not exactly a bling blangin B series engine no insult intended , but it is workable for sure depending on what you personally like. if your a B18B fan than that would make this a good deal for you eh. love the 95 style though personally one of my favs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verbal Killa Posted April 6, 2006 Author Share Posted April 6, 2006 ^^Oh ok. i was thinkin about swappin a b18c5 into my 1992 civic sedan lx. u think that would be a better idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountaindewguy Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 ^^Oh ok. i was thinkin about swappin a b18c5 into my 1992 civic sedan lx. u think that would be a better idea? it'll be a hell of alot faster. i'm putting my b18b engine into my civic, but it will be build slightly (intake, intake manifold, header, GSR pistons, stage 3 clutch/light flywheel, full exhaust, cams, etc...) but then im taking my d16z6 out, and building that up and putting a turbo on and either putting it back in or buying a cheap ass shell to throw it into Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cranny Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 a C5 swap is gonna cost you more than that car , lol. that car isnt in that bad of shape. some dents and dings but body lines are still good and it looks pretty rust free. i like coupes better than sedans imo. what kinda shape is the 92 in? you can make anything fast , lol. almost hehe. the car looks a little hacked , carpet is filthy nasty. if you can get that ride for under 3 maybe id look into it. if your gonna sell other ride(92) than really it wont cost you much to get into it. have it compression tested or do it yourself, easy. have a mechanic tug on all its joints see if its still tight. i mean if the biggest issue with the car is a few dents and dirty interior than its worth 3000 tops. whats the exact engine code given on front of engine block?is it a B1? . in any matter , you can swap the head on that engine for a DOHC VTEC head get it wired , run some oil lines and youd have yourself an LSVTEC. approximately 170 flywheel horses.

JDM_Hamster Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 The color of the car is alright and the LS wheels are good but the motor is not and I'm not a fan of the tail lights or the front lights either... That motor might be fast if you put or could put a GSR head on it... I'm not too fimiliar with the B18B... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountaindewguy Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 how the hell are you gonna say the engine is no good but then say you're not familiar with it? and then you say it MIGHT be fast if you put a GSR head on it... im building up a b18b, and my goal is to hit a 14.5 on the 1/4, that'll put it to roughly where a standard b18b w/ gsr head would be. also, the b18b is a good platform for turbo. quit spreading bad info. go away.

Well lets see i know that the motor came out of the DA model Integra LS, and i have beat a hatch like mine with that same motor in it...Have you never heard of a LS-Vtec? thats why i said it might be fast, the same guy that i raced has now put a GSR head on his and it doesnt grip through 1st and barely 2nd...THATS WHY IT MIGHT BE FAST, so how about you get off my ass and learn how to ask me those questions dumbass! :-" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolLesHonda Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Stop arguing. Shut up. I wouldn't buy it man. The body sucks, and that motor has a lot of miles. Get a car with better body shape, and then swap in a built motor, or a newer one at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mountaindewguy Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 ahh, good catch lol, didn't even notice that. prolly another one of those dudes that swap an engine, then think twice about hooking the AC pump and crap back up and just say "dude, it'll save weight and add HP" i dont give a crap, when its 90 or more and humid out, that AC is god.

mountaindewguy Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 regardless, a R engine at that price is crap or stolen. or crapty and stolen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VR17 Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 the ls motor isnt that fast but with a built head even without vtec, type r pistons, you'd run a good mid-high 14s range. like my friends, DA Type-R killer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
