not a bad idea, but usually buying someone elses moded out civic or any car is that fact that they probably drove the **** out it. You don't really know what's happened to it and what condition the motor will be in after 1k miles.

Exactly... You want some fun. CRX, H22A, port and polish ( take the head to get done before you install the engine or you'll hate yourself ) I'H'E/ cam gears, camshafts, crankshaft( titanium pref. if you can find ummm), unorthodox racing pulleys, tune it, run it, and freakin love the 11sec, car maaaaaaannnnn!!!! or get an old V8, camaro ss anyone??? 90' I think[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG] I/H/E (flowmasters...glasspack), overbore 30cc, runnin a Faaaaaaaaaasssssssstttttt a$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$, car!!! with only 3000 spent, on both including buying the car, if you shop around hard enough... and then you'll really appreciate cars, I hope I didn't offend you...[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG]

Well... If that someone has few mods and the ones he does have are exactly the ones you want then that would work. It's rarely like that though. I would just go with a new car and slowly build it up yourself. That's what I'm doing, !@#$. :: in the voice of the Coming to America barber::

but if i bought a moded car then the mods could come out of the load and i could make payments on it... so i woudlent have to front the cash... thus having a moded car faster. if i started from scratch it would take me a while to get it looking nice (im still a high school student)



is my image not working...??? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]
