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.

hmm i had a hmt but i had to sell it due to financial reasons also i have a refurbished axle (broken then welded back together) and im not sure whether that will handle the boost.

you snapped the shaft of an axle and then welded it back together?....and it doesnt shake the living ---- outta your car?

How do you guys snap an axle :o ?????

Re:car trade? some input appreciated
 
i can see snapping the joint, but i thought the shaft was supposed to be pretty strong

Scottsi 12-21-2003 06:24 PM

Re:car trade? some input appreciated
 
its refurbished so honda welded it back together (or so i was told) and it runs fine even when i redline

Axles are $80. I wouldn't think about that. I'd be thinking about what that guy has done to his motor to make him not want a boosted car over an N/A car. :-\

Re:car trade? some input appreciated
 
im thinking of trading him and swapping out that motor and putting in a new less milage Z6 with a cam and port and polished head seeing as d series are relitively cheap, i have a 62 nova that im going to sell come spring time so that will fund whatever i want to do. i wish i could get some pics up damnit :-\

well anyways man i dont think you should trade, your car is your car and you know what it has and what it needs, that will save you a lot of stress believe me. Carbon steel is very brittle when it gets hot and in the wrong conditions can snap relatively easy. Get a new set of axles if you have that on your conscience man
