What is the price of the B16B? Only engine.
Thanks for offering help Gopal! There is a silver hatch in my very own building too, and it is manual
I'm just doing this because the person who is selling the car is my dad's co-worker and he wants to get rid of it quick. Plus, it is in a pretty good condition and a ridiculous price. One more reason is that I wanted to build a project car of my own and Civic seems to be a pretty good platform.
Don't worry, I haven't completely neglected the Stang project but I've just delayed it until I find one in a good condition for a good price (finding a 99-04 is tough in the first place, finding one that I like will be tougher
)
If you like it, go for it!
Albertho can guide you throughout the project
I travel to sharjah industrial area regularly to check the bikes...tell me the shops name, i can enquire about engines.

check the new prices of B16B, it was around 12-14,000dh at Mohd Ayoub about 6 months back including suspension, gear, ecu, wiring, etc - they were not willing to sell seperately .... maybe the cost is more now because of the Yen.
Im also thinking of a daily driver project ... still 'thinking' eheh. most probably b16a or b16b this time.

OMG! I'm gonna spend 16k on an 8k car's engine
Stang project sounds better
Hey Gopal, how much would a 2005 600RR cost me? Any idea on the market price?

the reason most people pick up a honda as a project car is because the car cost practically nothing!! would you rather spend 30,000aed on a car and then another 30,000aed on modifying it. Wouldnt it be cheaper to buy a 8000aed car and spend 30,000aed on it?? i always thought that would be a better alternative, so you can spend more money on the parts rather then on buying the car itself....i wish you luck TNT!!

Hey TNT a CBR 600RR with 13k kms on it would be around 20k-22k( a but negotiation would bring it to 20k)
Dont just wait for the summer 600RR price will surely drop to atleast 18k.
Btw why did u sell your 954 man? its one of the hottest bikes produced till date IMO.

Too many reason to list
You are totally right Tamu, let's see how far I go with this project, will keep you guys posted. (LOL, you just 'upped' my enthusiasm
)
Oh kool, I always loved the way the 600RR looked, especially from the front. It looks very 'Jap-katana-ish-superbikeish' (I know I'm not making any sense
)
