let me knw if you would buy it. idk if its worth spending $5000. it would be my second car and my parents are giving me a $5000 budget. i currently drive a little s10 and have been wanting an ek ever since i could drive.
 
Nope don't do it man, hold on for another with a B series in it. unless you are planning a swap ?? also that scrape looks like its a track accident so its probably been thrashed.
I'd say hold on and wait till you know its the right one.

but hey if you want it, its your $5000 not mine.. :)
 
ya your probly right. theres another one in area but it says its a salvage. its got a gsr motor in it and its turbo'd for $5000. but i dont knw much about turbos and if its good to be driving a turbod car thats a salvage for a daily

heres the link to that one:

1997 Honda Civic Hatchback GSR Turbo
 
OMG!! a cnt belive what People try and sell for $5000 ,dont touch either of these! Get urself a nice clean shell that u know the history of and what mods its had done,these cars look like crash dummies!! Listen to Topher-EK4 get urself a nice shell with a B series and u (probably) wont have to shell out more money down the line for pannels or parts.

Dnt mean to be rude but when i c people try to sell the **** they no longer want because they have f**kd it in sumway it just pisses me off severly!

My advice would b hold off for another while and c what u come accross!

Look outwith ur area ,sometimes a roadtrip to pick up a car can b alot of fun...

good luck with what ever u buy at the end of the day it ur money this is just my personal opinion.
 
it does look like its been thrashed mate shell is not tidy i would wait to find a slightly cheaper one in better nick
 
alright thanks guys. idk there isnt really much around wichita kansas with swaps and such in it. if they are there put together poorly. anyone knw where i should look besides craigslist?
 
Yeah they both look shocking, i went on three roadtrips to pick up civics, the third trip was for mine and i absolutely love it, i don't even like leaving itt parked up without having anyone keep an eye on it!

you got some serious love for your car :)):lol:
 
Man do not go near that car! 5000dollars? he would be robbing you keep your cash until the right car comes along! :D
 
d series engines suck!

shocking amount of money spent on parts for a shitty slow civic though?
 
ma mate had a d16z6 series in his EG5 it was pretty nippy for a sohc,but nothin on the B series!
 
To say a d series is **** compared to a b is a bit daft, i don't care what you guys say, i have a d and raced things including an EM1 and i put up a good fight
 
i have a lawn mower that if i throw £3000 at it will eat any B series :blabla:

honestly mate conversations like this go on all day long on sites like Youtube, and thats where they should stay.....
 
Well said Topher my good matey........

But B-series is nothing special. Muahaha :p but H-series......now were talking.



And keep your money, neither of those Civic's there are much worth bothering over.

For a starters, that grey one also looks like its had a bang at some point, there is a clue there.....

"The Radiator Support Needs A Little Work (Bumper, Head Lights, & Hood Does Not Align)"

Instantly that throws up alarm bells for me in the sense its had a bang on the front end at some point.

Avoid any Civic that the panels dont align properly or if they have a different colour slam panel fitted or even if the bolts look like they have been removed on the slam panel, wings...etc You instantly need to question the seller if any of these are visible on a Civic your buying.

Just use common sense.........which is to not buy either of those, unless you just buy the grey one for the engine as the engine looks to be built well with a half decent spec.
