one expensive civic...US $90,000.00

bad way to sell a "showcar"...with typo's on moded parts

http://cgi.ebay.com/Honda-Civic-1994...QQcmdZViewItem




for example

"It has Brambo Disks" --> Brembo?

"5 Zeigen rims" -->Zigen?


THATS ONE INSANE PRICE...not worth it at all

the owner should face the sad reality,

when you mod your car, you sell the car with the mods for free.

that's kinda dumb for the car owner to sell the car as is. Alot of people strip the car down and make it stock again before they sell it, and sell their aftermarket parts seperately. but obviously the car has too many custom and bondo work to it its hard to do so.

I think its a joke. I've seen that alot lately on ebay. THere are lots of jokes auction going on.

LOL
brambo brakes?
5 Zeigen rims?

replica? knock offs?

it's obviously a LEGO version with camera tricks employed to make it look like a real car...

i can build that car with $20k and that includes the price of the car

wow that is probably the ugliest riced civic i've ever seen...

let's see...buy that used pos civic or....buy a new BMW M5...hmmm hard decision....

that's a ridiculous claim

sure, 90K is way too much of an asking price but take a look at the custom work that is done to the car. most of the stuff done are molded work, custom bumpers, custom interiors, lambourgini doors, widebody kit. Mind you, the body kit costs upwards of 2000-3000, and labour to install it including painting is 5000 cad. With all the custom work and equipment, I wouldn't be surprised that it cost him twice the amount of the cost of his car (about $30-40k) to get everything installed for the cosmetics and interior work.

The engine is an imported swap with JDM Civic SiR, and to produce 600 hp from that engine he probably installed a turbo kit on that. Engine's about $2000-3000 and even more for an imported one. THe turbo kit ranges anywhere from $2000 upwards depending on what stage turbo it is. I'm thinking he probably has a cold air induction system, upgraded fuel lines, grounding system, upgraded intakes and catback exhaust system, so his upgrades on engine should prob be somewhere around $10-20k. Then there's the brakes and suspension upgrades, by the looks of the drop that looks like a full coilover kit system to me (and since its a show car no one uses springs), upgraded rotors and brakes.

So by just pure estimation, he has around at least $60k worth of stuff in his car (including his car).

yeah but then look at it haha
its looks like a big bag of rice!!
for $60,000 why didnt he just buy a new car, instead of wasting it on this piece of crap??
either way if anyone buys this car, they need to go see a doctor

well, i know show cars in sports compact scene are competed against each other in their uniqueness, with different models being divided into different categories. So the custom work was necessary to get that uniqueness factor.

yea, 60k can definitely get you a good car, I believe the 350Z runs at around that price and for 60K you would have a Supra Twin Turbo (when it still existed) with cash left over.

I do suspect there are some equipment that are sponsored, such as the audio, tires, maybe rims etc. But the engine work and probably body work is paid probably by his own money.

to all fairness to the owner,
besides all the rice he does have some beef in the engine bay. that's a B14A swap, with turbo kit and with other engine goodies. he didn't post any pics of the engine bay but if what he says its true under the hood, this car can beat alot of higher end sports coupe or sedan like the 350Z, RX8, IS350, G35 etc. But only those cars in their stock form

Don't worry someone will buy it. We see those things all the time on TSR. I'm sticking with my rabbits, just so there'll be something other than riced out civics at the dragstrip.

What a goof. Why didn't he just buy a BMW sports car or an Infiniti G35 with the money and not make something that looks stupid?

I wouldn't pay $10000 for that POS.

I couldn't agree anymore.
