BTW… on a real note. You’re better off buying a complete CTR swap and then reselling your swap as a whole piece.

My head hurts. I literally became semi-retarded after reading this thread.

I’m still trying to figure the first post out. You had a mustang? No wait, a totalled civic? Who owns the red civic? Who is the owner of the black one? Why would you buy a car with 163k on it?

If you took the time to read you would understand, someone hit my dads red em2, he bought the ep3 to replace the em2 (red civic). He got a good deal to get the work done on the totaled red em2, so the money they gave him he bought the mustang and the work to fix the car. After getting the red em2 fixed he decided to sell me the ep3 black one. Who cares that it has 163k, not a spot of rust and car runs well, all maintenance records are on schedule. It’s a Honda it will run forever, you had a eg you should kno this…

I like the sounds of this, sounds easier to buy whole swap over piecing it together. Idk if I’m 100% on the ctr swap, I’m pretty sure the swap will cost a pretty penny.

My Crv with a k24a1 had 265k and ran great, stock clutch and water pump too. Honda reliability, they may be cheap but they last.

It will but your swap will also sell for a good buck. It’ll balance itself out with what you were talking about.

I thought about it for a while but then I remembered it’s just a honda. I’ll keep enjoying it as a fun economy DD.
