Tempted to go look :o(

Hello,

Probably thrashed to hell and back and owned by a boy racer. The owner can't have a full Honda service history or think much of his car if he took it to a backstreet garage! Which "engine" was the history for? That garage should have paid for the work on the engine IF they caused damage, so I would question the real reason for the replacement engine. Check the numbers closely making sure plates haven't been welded in, then go to your local Honda garage and see if they can help you identify which car it really is. Personally I wouldn't touch it. As soon as you mentioned "lowered" (suspension geometry out), performance leads (boy racer term for nice colour/extra 30BHP), Custom made exhaust (oh dear) and supercharger! Walk away and find a good unbutchered example that has a true service history and the right engine.

I would normally agree. The presence of the jackson racing unit kind of puts it out of the league of most "boy racers" they are circa 2k to buy before you even think about fitting it.

It_will_be_quick it's just the debious history/possibility it's been hammered and not looked after that puts me off.

UPDATE.

The history appears to be for the new engine. All the tuning work has been carried out by a reputable company.

With respect, it depends on who made it. Not all custom exhausts are boy racer quad exit cut-and-shuts.

I was going to post simliar, with respect to this car the rest of the modifications are of a serious nature and suggest that the owner will have had a decent exhaust put on.

Nothing wrong with that, as long as it's been properly maintained.

The VTec lumps are *designed* to be revved - I'd be more worried if it hadn't been regularly stretched.

Er, you think a "boy racer" can afford to buy and run a Supercharged Integra R ?

LMAO !

You numpty.

You're actually advocating using a main dealer ?

Are you faulty ?

I think that counts in it's favour ?

Er, are you under the impression that an Integra's suspension geometry is none-adjustable ?

Who cares, they're free with the car !

Er, what ?

I you somehow suggesting that a last-a-lifetime stainless exhaust is a bad idea ?

Er, what ?

Are you somehow suggesting that forced-induction is a bad idea ?

VTec without a blower, makes a nasty combination !

Why ?

Well go and look then, if you're interested. It'll either be good, or a sack of s*it :)

I'm trying to sort out a time with thegy nw :o)

also have no_idea of what he's asking.

How much are they asking for it?

I'm trying to sort out a time with the guy now...

Don't know unfortunately.

Have you heard this car is available by word of mouth, or have you become aware of by way of an advert?

If the latter... I hate people like this, who won't name their price, and it's almost certainly an indication they will take the piss, when they do finally reveal it to you.

Good luck, anyway - sounds like if it's all it says it is, it'll be a bit mental! :-)

Word of mouth. The chap I spoke to wasn't sure.

You forgot to mention the barry boys site.

To be fair, it has probably been looked after, because someone has spent a bollock load of money on it...

:o) it sounds promising agreed, the chap who told me it was for sale is a good mate too and really into his japcrap (intsert emoticon to indicate humour).

He wouldn't have bothered telling me if it was a total lemon. I think he'd have had it except his Mrs just had a baby.

sounds good go check it out! had one of these on my tail at some traffic lights on the weekend, he was keeping up with me just, i had the slight extra power :) was cool though there faster than i thought, super charged ones must bloody fly!

Even if it doesnt flay imagine the fun of a nice revvy Vtec *and* the satisfaction of permanent boost :o)

s*it I was supposed to be talking myself out of it :o(

The trick is to press the buttony things one after the other, rather than all at the same time :D
