'90 Civic Si Info...

when i was looking for a replacement car, clean b series swapped 4th gen’s were bringing 4-5k.

stock si’s that were clean were in the 2500 range, but few and far between.

so what the market was selling at and what i was willing to pay–2 different things.

for what it is worth, i sold my clean 91 civic hatch w/ ls swap and did the work it needed for 3k. my si, i was asking 1500 for it bone stock w/ rust on the 1/4’s and had people who wanted the car. just rolled it before i could make a deal.

biggest thing i’d look at on the car your looking to get is how the sohc vtec was wired in. did they keep it obd0 and run a switch setup for the vtec solenoid, or did the convert the car to obd1 specs. i’d just see that their work was cleanly done, no rats nests and butt connectors all over the place.

It is OBD-I with the VTEC working off the factory ECU for the motor. I’ll look to see how nicely the wiring itself was done though.
