Buying used modded Civics

Hey guys what does everyone think about that?

I got 3 rides in mind...

1. ITR swap and boosting @ psi but stock internals.

idk about that, high compression + boost = bad news.

2. modded si thats putting out about 300hp

price is 10k for 85k miles. Not to sure again either. Engine is buit.

3. Turbo LS engine @ 8 psi whats making 230hp.

100k on car and asking 6.5k for it. Engine is built.



I dont have any experience with any car with a turbo but Ive owned honda's since Ive been 16. What do you guys think about the idea of buying a modded honda?

Yeah thats what I was thinking. I was also thinking that if someone 30< has a honda/acura he's probably beat it.

I got no money really, gotta stretch out my dollar as far as it can go

Re: Buying used modded Civics

Never buy a modded car. It just calls for trouble. First off you do not know exactly what is put in it and you do not know how hard it was ran. Always buy a bone stock car then start modding it. Its always more fun that way.
