car trade? some input appreciated
 
i have a 93 si hatch back with rota slipsteams kumho tires NX nitrous kit lowered on RSR springs, a short shifter, i/h/e and about 150k on the chassis and less than 100k on the motor, I may trade it for a 94 ex coupe lowered (dunno on what)with a greddy intercooled turbo kit with 2000k miles on the kit and probably a total of 10k boosted miles 6 - 10 lbs, 93 on the motor 160 on chassis. Does anyone think this is a good trade? a bad trade? thanks

i wouldnt do it unless the car itself is in nicer shape than yours. buying a car someone else modded and beat the ---- out of isnt really a good idea imo

Need more info and possibly pics before we can really make a solid decision, there are a lot of things to consider, trading for boost can be dangerous, but you could always just put a different motor in and keep the boost on it for a fresh start...

I say you got a perfect car to start a HMT on. I wouldn't give that up to take someone elses potential problem. I would rather put a kit together myself and actually make the decisions on whats in it. Plus, you know your motor is good.
