you just have 13K layin around because I know that there is no bank that will loan you 13K on a 98 civic. I hope your dad buys it for you or something....
I like the car alot, im bashing you because I wish I could have it. On a car like that, I would lose the turbo and go all JDM.

If you just want a turbo vehicle, buy like a older civic, and make a kit for that bitch, and out run alot of ----.--and dump half of the amount of that civic...
Listen to the BOV all day long....thats my $.02

I dont see it being worth that much eather.I wouldnt pay more than 7k for it.I dont care if he put 20k into it,it aint worth 13k .

buy this for 4K and then put an insane turbo set-up on and build the ---- out of it. or do a swap with it, sell the ---- you dont need, and still have a sick car....
I could think of other ways 'to hear the BOV' for cheaper...and if you have 13K layin around...

I could spend your money for you...
this car 4k
B16 SWAP 2K
homemade turbo ~1000
sell the D16 with mods...~700 on ebay
new clutch, and linkage, and other ----...~600

4000+2000+1000+600=$7,600 then sell the D16, you end up with $6900 and probably have a high 13 sec car.

or build the D16 put a turbo and build the motor, and end up with about the same amount in it, and still have a high 13sec car, and a BOV.

there you go buddy...

if the body work and paint are done well it'd cost you 5K in paint/body alone to build it, plus buying it, and dropping a motor, and turbocharging it, not to mention it's other JDM-ness Id's say there is definitely more then 13k into the car.

Any car that claims it's a Type R and still has 4 lug hubs/wheels is rice, and rice is gay, and that sucks. DO NOT BUY IT.
