Its $5,799/OBO. Also would like to know the exact specs on that civic so if anyone knows a site or just knows it please let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blinker74 Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 Here's some specs for ya! 1.6 liter, 4-cylinder, 106-hp, Low-Emission Vehicle (LEV)-rated aluminum-alloy engine Dual airbags (SRS) 50/50 split fold-down rear seatbacks AM/FM stereo (DX) Adjustable steering column Rear window defroster with timer I would rather find a vtec model. But, the price sounds good for a '99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

optional187 Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 haha...no. not even the real vtec's get 130hp. d16z6's have 125 and d16y8's have 127. there is no way you're going to have 130hp by doing a mini-me. you will have less than a z6. mini-me swaps are incredibly crapty and a waste of money. i have a friend with a lighter car than mine who's done the mini-me swap and i can walk all over him in every gear. just do a full motor swap, the dx engine will never get you any good times at a track, and they won't get good results in any street race.

Mini-me swaps will give you about 8 more hp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optional187 Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 106 + 8 = 114 for all you people out there without calculators. wow thats a low hp figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boy blue Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 thats a pretty good price.. ask why they painted it, it may have been in an accident. check under the hood for any imperfections, thats probably why they may have been painted it ... but other than that it sounds like a good idea..
