Turbos/Swaps, How are you going to sell your car?

I'm tempted to do the turbo. For $3k, it's more understandable than a $7-10k swap.

However, what are you guys planning to do when you guys sell your car? Is turbo something, I can just rip off and say.. here's an EX for you, or are you guys planning to sell as "Civic EX + Turbo"? Making sure everything's going to be alright, if I do this. Thanks!

I think it'll be a mix. Prob the best way to do it is take out the turbo to sell the car. This requires pieces from honda, but shouldn't be more than $200. Others might choose to sell the entire package/ turbo and all to a younger crowd, this is cool. For now I think a lot of people who have or are getting the turbo set up will be keeping their cars for a while.

Correcto...at least for me
i know i'll never get resale value plus i will never get the interior back too it's stock tan color.
People are still drivign CRX's with swaps so i just look forward to better engines to swap inthe future.
As far as turbo i'd rather sell mine as a kit than on the car it self

depending on the condition of the turbo, i might sell it as a whole. but also depending on how much the kit is still going for in a couple years i may take it out and sell here and use that $$$ to help pay for my new car....or some mods for it

I have started a petition to have the turbo from SF to become CARB exempt.
People could sell the car with no problem and pass smog!

http://www.7thgencivic.com/forums/sh...highlight=CARB
so far 547 views and only 23 people are interested in having the turbo pass the
emissions testing.

I plan on putting her back to stock in two, maybe four years, selling all ther parts, and selling the car as stock... If there is breakage, than i have to decide whether to beef up and keep her longer, or go stock sooner.
