Re:Um, you guys have to see this
 
accually hes probably not.

he probably really did spend 25K on that.
look at things this way.

Hes in a military town. so am i. this is my theory....and it has been proven time and time again.

a guy i know has a blue crx which i found for him he paid 2200 for it. -he knew NOTHING ABOUT CARS. i drove it off the car lot because he couldnt drive stick.

then he says he wants a engine swap, so i say go B20.-he wanted all motor.
HE PAID 5400 for a b20, with a LS tranny ls ecu, and ls IM, and full cat back..

then he says he wants a tach. $400 later for a tenzo tach.

then he goes to iraq, comes home with a few extra dollars, now he wants a vtec head. well the car goes to the shop next week for $8000 worth of work.
this is what hes getting...
B16 head, edelbrock IM, (these I can see) a VFAC, and a wideband (no he has no turbo, this is an all motor car) and LSD.

he has paid other people to do all of his work. -i have offered many many times for free. the people in military town will rip the military off any way possible. its sad but true. they will lie to you any way possible if you go to there shops and act dumb. they tried to sell me a IACV for $100 and also told me all si's are vtec. (also a 88-91) yeah. ::)

kevin and i are from the same town. if i were to walk into a local shop and say, hey, how much for a B16swap, they would probably tell me $4000 not installed. if kevin were to walk in there they would probably tell him $2000 out the door. this is no lie.

plain and simple, i believe that this guy has spent close to 25K in this car.

Re:Um, you guys have to see this
 
but in the picture, isn't it a single cam motor? ~ non-vtec head. he couldn't spend too much right?

Re:Um, you guys have to see this
 
does he have chrome rims on one side and black on another?

I don't see how those time's are possible with what is visible in the pictures. If those are outdated pics, then it could be possible.

He has a stroker kit in it possibly he has aftermarket rods pistons and crank ??? that could help it run 13s but not likely.

its easy to spend $25,000 when your buying one of a kind parts:

Crane Crank: Doesn't exist
Sparco Wires: Doesn't exist
ported and polished headers: What is the going rate on crackheads nowadays?
5 puck clutch: I've never heard of a company that makes a 5 puck.
APC coil over kit: 1/2 the budget right there

Crane Crank doesnt exist, but I'm sure he ment camshaft, considering corillio doesnt make custom sized rods for stroker D16 cranks ;)

Sparco doesnt make plug wires but Sparko does, maybe a type-o?

Ported and polished headers, eh maybe he ment head, but I highly doubt he even knows what he's talking about here. Maybe if it was a stock manifold he could port and polish it.

5 puck clutch, ever heard of Exedy? They use to make them along time ago.

APC coil over kit. Hey now, cant be dogging APC considering they have the worlds fastest fwd car ;)


I honestly think the guy just added a 0 to his 25 grand claim.
