Mind. Blown.

Did not see this coming man, damn. Oh well it is what it is. Good luck with the teggy

I have literally no clue why you even bother to state what your plans are with your vehicles. You always end up changing your mind anyway. You know very well that this car will eventually end up with lowering shocks and springs, new wheels and leather interior.

lmao probably. But I probably will not have this one for very long. Probably fix it, clean it up cosmetically and sell it before I rack the miles up too much.

Either way, between this, and flipping some cars soon, these are both paths to more money.

I built the coupe the way I wanted it. Now it's done. I'm bored with it. There's nothing else to do, other than an engine swap that's not worth it. Time to move on.

Don't act all surprised I got rid of this car. I sold my SE twice, and got rid of the EX-R sedan and sold the wagon after a month and a half. Now I've had my fun with this one. You can only build the same car so many times before it gets repetitive.

ugh hope you got some cash on top.

[crazymikey]

What's a clean Accord worth? Not much. I certainly won't pay $1500 for one. I'd pay $1500 for my Accord in the state it's in now....and I paid $1400 to buy it bone stock a year ago.

My Accord still needs work. Needs alignment. Horn doesn't work. Windshield is fucked. Timing belt due in 10 000km, huge exhaust leak. The whole midpipe section needs to be replaced. Rear brakes need doing, since the fronts were just done. Needs upper ball joints. Output shaft seal leaking.

The Teg needs a $150 inspection. I'm $160 into it for new brakes all around. The front right caliper just needs to be rebuilt, or unseized. Needs a muffler and a front sway bar bushing and bolt.

I'll be happy driving the Teg for the winter. It's not the prettiest thing out there, and I won't be upset by stone chips, getting dirty, wrecking it etc, the way I am so paranoid with the CB. It'll be super reliable and economical. Dump a couple hundred bucks into this thing for inspection and maintenance, and I'm good to go.

I could have done a lot worse.

man i think you traded down but its your car man. shit i bout traded my cb for a b2600 i ex cab a few days ago then i realized how shitty the motors are in those trucks and how little these cars take to keep on the road good luck with it.

gtfo.

[crazymikey]

It's just a car.

[SOHC-FTW]

It's just a car.

Indeed it is, i have more or less gave up on mine. Though your cb is far nicer than that dc i know i wouldn't have given over $800 for it. It's chassi is better than the cb's for sure when it comes to modifying.

Oh well the way i see it is life goes on. They're many many good cars out there to choose from why stick with one make or model, GL.

Crazymikey is at it agin.
I think you made a good trade , you coupe had its time to shine.
Interested to see what you do with the integra? I'm sure it will be great

Here's my deal.

I paid $1400 for the CB, bone stock. I think I was near $4000 into the car (purchase price included). Still worth $1400, with all the mods.

I just had the Integra through out of province inspection.
-Brakes all around - 4 new rotors and pads, 2 new brake calipers
-Front sway bar bushing and bolt
-Full exhaust system replaced (used OEMfor $100 from kijiji)
-set of 1.7EL 15" alloy rims ($250, kijiji), mounting my Blizzak snow tires on them
-Fuel tank strap
-CV boot is leaking, probably just reboot it
-Oil change

Oh, and all that brings me to....$900. So, this car is inspected and on the road for less than I purchased the CB for initially.

Now all I need to do is clean the interior, do some minor bodywork and give it a quick respray. With all that, I'll be up to what I paid for the CB.

Now which one looks like a better deal? A fully inspected and serviced mid 90s car, with fresh paint and bodywork and new wheels and exhaust?

I'll easily make some money on this car once it's all cleaned up, even with the higher miles. There is a market for the Integras. It's a much more sellable car than a CB is.

Good luck to your Mikey! It is sad to see the white beautiful beast gone though...

Shame on you Mike . You know what I mean.
