If it's legit, this sounds like a good deal to me. Get more details, test drive, etc. |

um yeah that sounds funny if all that is done to the motor why is he trading it for a car with little doneto it? also you live in ohio rust is cancer and any honda owner will tell no rust is way better then just a little rust. |

honda blocks don't need to be heat treated, and block gaurds are garbage. Why does he want to trade? the front end is wack too. EG's are sick looking enough. can you get some pix?? |

Your going into the purchace blind, you don't know how half ass of a job they did, and hell you don't even know if its actually bored, or anything at that. Rust is a bitch to work with, EK fronts on EGs are wack, and he is totally robbing your money with the car + cash. Keep the EK and stick the money into YOUR motor, YOUR setup, and YOUR car. You'll be happier knowing you did it yourself.  |

I'd take it in a heartbeat. Finding a dirt cheap rust-free roller isn't exactly difficult to do. Get a dyno of the car, but from the sounds of it the engine in that car makes it well worth it. You did a good job of losing me though, "I hate the EK front end, but I like the EK better"??? Make up your mind. |
