fix up to the max!

hey whats up guys i'm planning to get a 92' HB dx and i wanna know if any one can give me any estimates of cost...

-B16a or a B16a3 complete swap/labor

it has 306k miles. but still runs very smooth for the year and mileage. its been very well taken care of, exept the interior and exterior body. what do u guys think i need to replace or take care of before the swap, what basic parts do i need to replace? like the axles and shit like that....cant think of any:confused:

what other parts should i check?:huh:

I'LL POST THE PICS OF THE CAR LATER(ALOT OF DENTS LOL :rolleyes: :cwn27:

306,000 miles is death

everything on that car is gonna start breaking for no reason. Look out for hidden rust on the framework as well.

I'd never buy it

hey hey hey hold on here a sec bud.......lol i dont have so much money to spend :( .....i'm only 16 w/o a job and no restriced YET! (kinda sounds like a personals ad! lol:bloated: )lol and thats the best i can find. thats good advice though i am gonna look for those rust spots:D thnx man

thats true 306k miles is alot, but if you need a car...get your license first lol hehe :D. If you do get it make sure you comepletely check it out, good luck

how much are you looking to spend? you can find some deals out there with a lot less than 300k miles

How are you planning to engine swap with no money? Also if your engine swapping why not get a car with a crap engine and a nice body and interior?

if you get old engine now, you will regret later. Save the money for something else. maybe buy a new car or somethin'.

how do you plan to fix that car when everything on it breaks for having so many damn miles on it??:eek:

not that I have NO money but I'm on a tight budget. The carstill runs great!! Its my uncles car and he's taken good care of it. Its the best I can find right now for a low price since its in the family :D :flipa:

im not a hater of the b16 or b18 if you do not have money or little money to up keep it why dont you buy a d16sohc vtec. not as fast a the engines i had mention but you will get a good deal cuz every1 is looking to buy the b16/b18, and you will get a nice deal on that engine. plus the other work you and your friends can do.

save up $3000 and get a 5th gen civic h/b no use getting a car with a grip of miles and ur gonna end up spending more money on the repairs

you don't need to fix any of the body or interior...just get the car, get suspension, and get a swap....my car has a shitload of miles on it and it still runs like any new car would and it handles a hell of a lot better than my 96 EX does.....the car will be fine if it was maintained correctly.

madtown is right! you dont need to fix the interior or body of the car!! Since its been maintained properly then go for it!! :D make it an ALL TIME SLEEPER!! hehe, No one would expect a beat up old HB to smoke em!! hehe :hehehe: then you can join this club "shitcars" lmao. ugly ass cars, w/ all the money under the hood you'll fit right in!! :evillaugh :ylsuper
