looks ok. alittle high. i would try to get it down to like 6500 wouldnt be bad for that car. still alittle high though

but it looks mint with an h22 swap. and only 45k. my 02 has more than that. if the car is mint, i would say 6500 is good. thats like someone on here selling a mint k20 swap for like 11,000-12,000 its reasonable.

Hmm yeah I see your point. But what if it's been driven like crap?

you wont know til you see it and drive it. but as of that ad, it looks like its worth the price. you can sell how it was drivin. by the how the clutch feels. alot of the time, you can tell if you push in the clutch and the flywheel still spins, knocking/ticking in the engine.

I agree with CenZ, it may be worth the money if it really is in mint condition and everything the seller claims is there.

this is a nice car but if you are looking for a fast car to drive around and race on weekends... this is notttttttt the car to get... i can be wrong about this car but i have many friends that had h22 swaps in eg's and ek's and most ran good, but not fast at all. i smoked my homies h22 swap in gutted ek hatch with my ek ferio with a b16 squeeze... 70 shot dry... and i believe my best time before was maybe a 14.2. this was many years ago. another friend had a built h22 on street slicks in a gutted eg hatch and i smoked him easily by four or five cars with my ek ferio, full interior, on regular street tires. he got me first and second gear but when i hit third, i smokeddddddddd him!!! but this was when i had my fully built b20vtech, which ran a 13.4 with a 2.3 60 ft. but for that price i rather get something different. 7500 is not cheap. i'd rather find a stock, maybe stripped ek hatch and swap a gsr or a b20vtech.. either one of these would run alot better. better times. if thats what your looking for. but then again there are some race cars with h22 that runs really well and get good numbers, but what are the chances this is one of them. just my 2cents

^^^damn you got a vtech? I wish I had a phone in my car.

but anyways the H22 is a strong motor and great for boosting, but IMO get a cheap civic and drop a b16/18 in it. It'll be easier to work on, bigger aftermarket and easier to find help if you have questions about it. H22's under the hood of a civic are a nightmare to work on because thier so damn big, well atleast it is in my neighbors H22 CRX.
