Alright, i took my friend to pick up his blazer (he just got bags) and we stopped at a del taco. Were sitting there and up rolls my dream car

2000 Civic SI, black, lowered and it has a for sale sign! So i take a closer look and i see the list of things he has done to it, B20B swap, aem header and exhaust, cold air intake, high pressure fuel rail & boost adjuster, type R cams, HD clutch, new trans & axles. 17" Gt sport wheels, 2 1/4" lowering springs, camber correction kit. The guy said it was dynod and the guy said it was about 210hp (crank)

So the question is, How much could i sell my car for??? It is...

2002 civic coupe ex, silver, automatic, 17" rims w/ low profile tires (from dealer $1200) the rims are by Elite and the tires by Federal i believe... JVC KD-SX780 head unit just bought 2 weeks ago, 2 12" fosgate subs 400 watts each, dhd amp 250w + 250w

I would say go for it!!!!.......
I had the choice of a 99'SI..(used).. just how I wanted it........or my 7thgen..(brand new).....
After I noticed how dam'd slow the car was........I am curious about the SI......should I made the decision I did???.......Ask yourself...........(but I love 7thgen body style).......[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

No offense JKeezo, but it does seem like it might be an impulse buy... Why didn't you look for your "dream car" before buying the 2k2 ex? I imagine it must be fairly new still too. Well, I wouldn't want to be the one to say don't do it, but it might be a costly mistake... Just think it through. JMO.

hey, what are you talkin about insurance rates? cause like i dunno how it is with you, but when i change cars, ( which is about monthly now) i go in and tell them what the new car is,t hey get the vin number, and i dont pay anything more or less, unless i went from full to liability...and im only 18....i went from a camaro to a 2k1 civic to a 2k2 civic and the rate didnt change at all...so whats the dillio with that?

im not the kind of person to take offense to much

it is fairly new and i should have looked for my dream car before buying it, but then i was happy to have a car, and the vic seemed best at the time

but yes, it would be an impulse buy and yes, im an impulsive person (genes )

for the b20b i guess, i saw them on the engine so... yes

he had all the work done by a hondatech certified guy in arizona, supposed to be one of the best

i dont know, i thought there would be some trouble/ high rates because of the different engine in a different car thing, i guess i could talk to htown and see what he knows about it (or just call my insurance company)
