hi everyone. i want to see what you guys think about this car that i am going to look at this sunday. its going to be a daily driver. so im not looking to do crazy amount of work. i just want it clean comfortable ride. i hope i could get your guys expert opinion.

and left turn signal doesn't work

*some things i wont to know*

Hardest thing to replace will be the rear mount and thats not even hard, really. Axles are simple. B18b is a good motor, gas friendly and turbo friendly. Do you have pics that you can put up? 2300 seems reasonable.

is it a B18b B18b1 or a B18a1? axles aren't hard but the rear mount can be a pain


just know that a B swapped hatch has been beat on.. why else would it be swapped

thanks everyone for the replay

its a b18b1 so its non VTEC. i never driven a Honda with Vtec so would i be missing out. like i said on my first post its a DD. so most likely i wouldn't be hitting high enough RPM for it to engage. ya i hear the axle is easy fix. the one i am more worried about is the rear mount.

lol yes that is so true. i pretty sure that b swap was beat like it owed money what are some things to look for to see if its been beat to hard. should i not even worry because i am going to be cruzing it and babying that car.

ps. my old DD was a 99 Chevy Camaro z28 5.7L V8 that gets 15 mile city.
that is why i'm upgrading to a eg.

i forgot to add the pics on my last post. here they are
