[lookingforwork]

Im really new to calgary. But im looking for a older honda civic. 1996-2000 2 door coupe. Just wanted to get some prices from you guys what i should pay and the kms that should be on one at that price. I want to do bodykit and all..already bought the rims and tires yet no car....lol....

[lookingforwork]

I want to pay a price thats a good price fair not high...if that means anything....

[jaysas_63]

theres shit loads of vics out there, so u should be able to find one that suits u pretty easily,

i'm happy the search went well, gl with the hunt:thumbsup:

EDIT: and in terms of the porice diff u were talking about, factors such as previous accidents, rust, mechanical intergrity, and km's have a huge impact on teh price of teh car, so make sure u don't buy a lemon......go threw the car with a fine-toothed comb, and be sure to take it to a mechainic

1.6

[lookingforwork]

Just thinking of future expenses.

[Weapon_R]

Dirt cheap to buy, build and maintain

[lookingforwork]

Can you turbo these 1.6 engines while there stock will little or no damage?

[DannyO]

You could turbo it, but the internals depend on how much boost you want to run.

[Weapon_R]

You can turbo the 1.6 but you could also drop in a b18b (1.8L) for less and have almost as much power, reliably.

You could setup a turbo kit and run low psi(6-8 or so) and be fine with your stock block as long as you have proper tuning and fuel managment. The power you could make from this would be much higher and enjoyable than swapping in a b18b or something of the like. and if you blow your motor with boost, swap in a b18C.

Man you guys really know youre cars....okay here's a really dumb question propably...you know when a car has a turbo by that whistle noice just as the rpm is coming down like....okay the turbo you can hear when youre getting up there in the boost but i mean that quick second it goes bussssh when you shift or whatever....lol....what is that noise? lol.....

[lookingforwork]

and can you make that sound louder? i like that sound...lol...my buddy has a eagle talon you can bairly hear it when he shifts and its a totally stock car but was wondering.

[Weapon_R]

It's called a blow off valve, and you can buy different ones that are louder.

[jaysas_63]

lol it seems like soooo many ppl want FI just for the noise the bov makes.......i can just see in the future ricers with whistles hanging outta their mouthes :rofl: TWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTT

[lookingforwork]

lol

[mdeleon]

haha...wouldn't doubt it, they already have a fake turbo spool sound selling on ebay that connects to your exhaust tip.
