Project recession 2009
 
So i was surfing the local kijiji and i came across this ad:

1993 civic si blown timing belt, no rust, 120 000 miles, first 500 dollars takes it

the guy calls me and i miss it.. he leaves a ---- message not describing the car at all.. but i choose to call him back anyways.. thank ------ god i did!!

i came and got it 2 days later on the back o my truck..

COSTS:
car 500
t belt 30
dolly 50
diesel 30
headgasket 50

OH AND IM IN CANADA.. 660 CAD = 517 USD!!!


so im at 660 and it would have been 610 if i didnt smoke a cannon and try to compression test a motor with no cam turning :D
i decided to take the head off because it had no compression.. everything looks good tho.. no bent valves, binding, or marks on the pistons or valves..

im going to do a 10 psi dsm setup on this car.. and slam it.. throw some RnRs on it and some red clears adn amber corners.. oh and a spoon lip.. maybe some CF action.. lol

why cant it be perfect?? this is the only flaw.. check out the EX pinstripe.. JDM??

In my area it is hard to find a eg in that good of condition for such a low price.

Everybody in my area know the value of an eg but they keep ditching the d-motors and give them to me.

Then they blow up there B or H motors and come to me to buy a d-series with tranny.

Screw that salty nut sack weather. I'm glad the rot isn't anything to worry about here, anyways good find.
