i can get a 87 Si for 500 bucks, should i?

[Creole.Kid]

So yeah, in the pennysaver here, somebody put an ad for an 87 Si for 500 bucks, but it has a blown head gasket.

it says the motor is like 3 years old, and the body is straight. should i get it?

[3rdGenCrazy]

if i had the spare money!... why not!... i say its worth goin to take a look at! to say the least!... if its got a decent body, go for it! and im sure u can probably talk him down!

[Creole.Kid]

yeah, i don't know much (or anything) about the 2nd gens.

is there good parts for it? like is it worth having anyways?

[3rdGenCrazy]

the after market for the 2nds are just like the 3rds.... NOTHING!!! lol

but prelude85 could help u out w/ a lot of questions u have about it!

[Creole.Kid]

sweeeeeeeet.

so when are you doing your H22 swap??? lolz

[3rdGenCrazy]

im really shooting to atleast have the motor by the end of next year! but it'd be even better if i had it installed by the end of next year! lol

[Creole.Kid]

that'll probably be when i get my motor swap done too.

hopefully i'll have the transmission done then too. we'll see.

[3rdGenCrazy]

thats cool man. i wish u luck! i need to get my freakin money right! bein in school kinda sucks! but it'll pay off in the end!

[Creole.Kid]

yeah i feel you on that dude, being in school sucks all my money away. Plus the fact that i overdrew my account twice without knowing it and now my account is like 60 bucks in the hole!

****! hahahaha.

[3rdGenCrazy]

daaaaaaaang man! u over drafted twice!?! daaaang man! right now my account only has $2.50 in it! lol damnn college!!! lol

[Creole.Kid]

word. but i get my AS in Business Administration in like 8 months though, so that's tight. then SAN JOSE STATE!

this is fully :offtopic:

[ogsmakdade]

buy that ****! I wish I could get that.

[Creole.Kid]

maybe i'll get it and sell it to you. :biggrin1:

[ogsmakdade]

the wifey is gonna kill me. I already have plans to buy a 3rd gen and now a second. I need a garage so I can have all 5 ludes.

[Creole.Kid]

seriously i would sell it to you if i got it, i don't know how you ship a car though.

where are you even from?

[ogsmakdade]

I'm pretty sure a 200ft roll of bubble wrap would suffice.

[Creole.Kid]

hahaha, lolz0rz!!!11!1!

i could actually steal a 200ft roll of bubble wrap from work. ^_^

[hondalude86]

dude, i had a chance to buy a lude for 500 and did! drove all the way from ky to NC to get it. and tow it back. i love that car!

[BB1_]

Man. I would buy that Prelude in a heartbeat and fix the head gasket. And use it as a winter car. Or when i just wanna save some gas. $500 is cheap. And I bet it would be easy as hell to change the head gasket. That motor cant be that complicated.


yeah i feel you on that dude, being in school sucks all my money away. Plus the fact that i overdrew my account twice without knowing it and now my account is like 60 bucks in the hole!

****! hahahaha.
Eh, that aint bad. One time I overdrew 4 times. -$246. :smashfreakB: I almost cried. LoL.

Talk to the bank. They can hook you up with overdraft protection. If you go negative, they just take the cash out of your savings. Saved me a bunch.

[hondalude86]

so did you get the car mate? i'm interested. some minor head work, head gasket, would fix that car right up, but you might need to buy a rad for it too!
