Think its worth it
 

Well, heres the delima. I am missing my honda as I see more roll around the island, and of all the cars Ive looked at for myself I want another honda. (this time I wanna go n/a though) then get something boosted (such as boosting the skyline, which is planned anyways). Anyways, Im finding ---- loads of B series auto civics/CRX's everywhere. Priced between $300-$2,000. EVERY DAM ONE A ------- AUTOMATIC. I have seen 2 manual HONDA's since ive been here, both NOT for sale. (to include integra's) So my question, buy the super cheap auto honda and do the conversion?

Now the other choice, ive come across a few 180sx's in decent shape with the SR20det 5spd, usally with some crazy suspension mods done, for around $1500-$2,000.

Which would you do? buy the honda, and do the conversion or hold out, and save a few more $$'s and get the 180?

Re: Think its worth it
 

if you cant find a car with a 5 speed how will you find a 5 speed out of a car

wait and buy a 5 speed car

Re: Think its worth it
 

If it's a EF or DA then get the auto and convert it to a 5spd otherwise ---- messing with the hydro conversion unless your got skillz like that. If I lived over thurr like you I'd still get a honda and ---- all that Nissan ----. Show them JDM mofo's how we turbo US folks turbo honda's!

Re: Think its worth it
 

I'd go with the 180sx...Honda this, Honda that, why not switch it up since you're over there, they'll be plenty Hondas waiting when you come back to the US in a few years.

Re: Think its worth it
 

But thats Japan man Im sure the japanese are like 180 this 180 that, especially the drifters. Try and find a middle school car like Lancer III or Lancer IV and put the rally package on it. ;)

for sure, get something thats not "normal"! I guess its dependent on his budget though too. personally I'd snatch up an A31 Cefiro....that'd be nice!!

Re: Think its worth it
 

Exactly, enjoy what you can't have over here. Eventually you might be able to buy a second car anyways, for $300. I would say, get something you can't get ever again when you move back.

Re: Think its worth it
 

hah, so you didnt buy the skyline, i didnt think so

Re: Think its worth it
 

hey "hustla" he already has the skyline this will be his 2nd car.

Re: Think its worth it
 

personally i just be happy with the skyline

Re: Think its worth it
 

Skyline = wife car

New car = his

Re: Think its worth it
 

ahh i see, and donfry, who the ---- are you, stupid ------ noob. shut the ---- up and stay out of my ---- and off my dick bitch.

Re: Think its worth it
 

Still being a honda fan, you could get some mad tyte JDM Honda integra type-r or try to find a real civic type-r. If you can hold off, save up, and get exactly what you want. You might not get the chance to go back, or even stay there too long, so enjoy it.

oh...and find me an sti shortblock. :-* J/K ;D

Re: Think its worth it
 

no ones on your dick scott, your full of yourself, all your posts are useless. you try to act hard, your a pedifile, and think your a hustler, maybe you are but from what i see You try to hard, and its obvious nobody likes you.

Re: Think its worth it
 

I found an evo 3 with the rally package. rally package meaning the autostic tranny to. ;) that car is $4,000. I think Im just gonna wait and hold out to find exactly what I want and can find. and yes, I own a nissan skyline. would anyone like me to scan the title and post it up?

this weekend is comming up. Now that I have my license, its burning me to not have a car I can drive everyday, and not have to rely on my wife to come pick me up/drop me off everyday. :-\

Re: Think its worth it
 

There's no point in owning a honda unless you're going to boost it.

Re: Think its worth it
 

By a Hype R and turbo it O0

celica gt4, celica gt4, celica gt4

Re: Think its worth it
 

nSxyyyy :D

Re: Think its worth it
 

frank, how much is gas over there in rice land?

Re: Think its worth it
 

$2.08 a gallon and thats 93 octane. the lowest you can get. and fook, why the hell would I boost a honda when i can get a nissan that comes boosted and 10x's better all around. hondas werent made to be boosted from the factory. thats simple.

Re: Think its worth it
 

shouldnt i ask you that question? you're the one that bought an NA skyline :-*

Re: Think its worth it
 

suck my dick donfry, you dirty piece of ----, atleast i passed english class and i know how to use correct grammer, i may be all of those things, i may not be, but the bottom line is, im smarter than you, have accomplished more than you ever have and ever will, and you will never lose the ignorance im sure your whole family posesses. you stupid ----

Re: Think its worth it
 

buy yourself some dignity.

Re: Think its worth it
 

Yo make sure you check out the Initial D spots while your over there. Mt. Akina and what not maybe you can race the skyline down the mountain. Anyway I want mad photos and videos.

Oh and make sure you check out the Ginza.

Re: Think its worth it
 

lol the noob wants to see some mad tyte jdm dorifto yo.

Re: Think its worth it
 

Yep thats right ;) Naw I just want him to take alot of photos and video of Japan not just the drifting.

Re: Think its worth it
 

lets go in on a group buy of dignity spenser, i know you need it more than i do, being canadian and all

Re: Think its worth it
 

So whats so big about 180's? You can get those here to and just swap in a damn det. How bout a Pulsar GTIR. Hmmm...awd, itb's, boosted(t28) in a hatch. What else could you ask for? Now start hitting those junkyards frank! Hook me up with some SSR type X wheels and a snail from a s15. Thats all I want for xmas!! Is that too much to ask?

Re: Think its worth it
 

I vote do an auto-2-manual... just ask someone you know to ship all the stuff you need and be done with it, there are plenty of manual civic in the US scrapyard.

Re: Think its worth it
 

the price difference between a NA skyline and a non-na skyline is about $4,000. I paid $1,500 for mine. ;)
its kinda like not buyin a B series car when you got the D series MUCH cheaper. especially when you have to have enough $$ to buy 2 cars at once. ;)


BTW, im out the door now to go look at a GTS-t ;)

Re: Think its worth it
 

----, this sucks. .I looked at 8 different hondas tonight, all automatics. I did learn something tonight though. most integras come with D15's, not the D15vtec, the peice of ---- D15. the only vtec integras ive come accross were the type Rs from the first post i made about car shopping. (ohhh yeah, and a 4dr type R comes stock with 4 lugs)

im gonna talk to a guy about a 180sx here soon. hes about to leave the island, so hopefully he will take little to nothing for it. I also found a 91Levin with the factory supercharged motor (unsure of the code) and is a 5spd. still not sure if he even wants to sell it, but im gonna ask. :P

Re: Think its worth it
 

I was talking to frank..... but yea... good luck with that.

Re: Think its worth it
 

There's also awd integras too over there. Doesn't the base have a for sale list of ----? Like cars and other ----? Hit up people who are moving back and selling there cars.

Re: Think its worth it
 

Holy crap dude, swoop that ----.

It's called a 4agze, it's a 1.6 liter supercharged/intercooled motor. Those engines have really beefy stock internals, people have swapped the supercharger (because it's rather small) for a turbocharger, and have run about 20 psi on the stock internals with no problems. When I decide to upgrade my internals, I will be getting the bottom end and the tranny of that engine. Good find, see if you can get it.

Re: Think its worth it
 

If you could get that 91 Levin, that would be the ----.

Otherwise I say go with a Honda and to the auto to manual swap. You can get the pedal tree off eBay for cheap, I saw a few of them yesterday.

Re: Think its worth it
 

id go with the 180sx.. ---- a handa compared to one of those

Re: Think its worth it
 

i have never heard of ir seen an AWD integra. ???
although, the comment about people leaving, yes, thats teh best way to pick up a car. thats how i got the skyline so cheap. that was REAL cheap though. i should have paid in the are of about $3500 for that car.

link to anything on the net about swappin the motors. i found 3 "91 levin, good good a/c, std 5spd tranny, good running car, $500" all over the classifides this morning (first time really looking for a levin) i just wonder, if its the base motor, can the engines be swapped easily?
