Is a good deal for PArts car

Aight, theres this guy near me thats selling his 90 civic Si the body has a good amount of rust and the engine is almost done but still runs, i drove it las night, pretty fast, fastrer than my standard hatch, anyway the interior is mint, thats all i pretty much want, to swap the Si interior into my car....he said he will take $150,.......what you guys think?

i'll give him 300 bucks and i'll pick it up tommorow!!!!!

I think its a very good deal. GO for it!:)

Just swap the whole cluster!!! If you wanna change the mileage on the odometer, just use my method!! Its real easy, take a flat head screw drive and be VERY CAREFUL and pry off the plastic cover on the gauge cluster, then, take a needle and move the numbers to whatever u want!!! Its that simple, but be careful not to crack your plastic cover that goes over the gauge cluster!!!! i did this on all my cars i had to set it back before every inspection because i am only allowed to drive like 7500 miles a year and i drive about 1000-1500 miles a month!!! so this helped a lot and worked great!!

thats cool, why can you only drive so little?...is there a rule?......anyway i heard you can jus take out the actual odometer and put it in that way.........like the SI im getting has 249,000 miles and my stan. hatch has only 87,000.....can i take my 87,000 odometer and put it in the SI cluster without changeing numbers?

Cause i have the most basic insurance out there and it limits me to drive a lot or else they will charge me more and raise my premium, but this way its easier :) and on my new civic its never gonna be drivin anyways so i wont have this problem, cause i have my Daily Driver for that...

ANd yea i guess u can swap the odometers, but i think its easier this way, regardless you will have to take off the plastic cover......

aight man, sounds easy enough, ill take some pics of both cars when i get a chance, the black si and the blue standard with air ride, hehe

You got Air RIde? thats sweet!!

lol, yea jus finished the install but still have a gutted interior, ill get pics asap, lol, its funny how fast were responding to each other

Front LIp, MPFI, Engine (REBUILD FIRST), Sunroof, Passenger Visor w/ Mirror, Right hand side Mirror, steering wheel, Bigger BRakes, Rear Sway Bar, thats all thats coming to me now.....

yea, but the exterior ain't that good, the brakes i could do and the mirror and shit, but whats dif. on the Si steering wheel wise and sway bar wise?.....also the MPFI has around 249,000+ miles on it, you think its still good?

The STD and DX Steeringwheel has 2 spokes and the Si has 3 spokes, much nicer..... and the STD and DX do not have a rear sway bar at all!!! and the Si does, its not like 22mm like most Aftermarket swaybars, but its like 18mm or so and thats 100x better than not having any in the back!! Especially for cornering...... and the MPFI will be fine, just clean it and take out the whole harness and drop it into your car, when i say clean i mean like clean the TB and the Intake Manifold and shit like that......

I dont think my si has a rear sway bar?



Anyways why dont u just take the motor also? Rebuild it and slap it in your ride.
