Should I Trade...Honda 4 Acura

[Boomboy 10+ year member]

Ok...I put my car up on cl for shits and giggles just to see what offers i could get...well i got one that i might actually be thinking about. my car is a 92 honda civic 4 door dx that i put the l7's into, it also has 94k original and no rust. the offer i got was a 2000 acura integra ls, it has a full apexi exhaust and what not. im guessing a little rust also...but the main bad thing is it has 160k or so on it, he says it runs and drives fine with no problems though. also the cel light is on, he replaced the o2 sensor and its still on because he says that the exhaust is pushing out too much air for the sensor to recognice so it gives off a cel, can this be a possible idea....just looking for some input.

edit: i also put it up with the system so it will come with the car...

Is it a standard or auto

BBK makes a O2 bypass to send a signal to the ECU that overrides the O2 sensor.

the light may be on if there is no cat in the exhaust line I would do it the car is newer with a higher resale.

Go look it over, if its a solid car then I'd do it.

edit: How many miles are on the teg?

one way to check if the car has been taken care of is to check the oil dipstick and see how clean it is after an oil change and two days.i had a 98 grand am once and i dogged the hell out of that thing on the interstate,bought it used with 32,000 on the clock,took it to 182,000 before i wanted something else.only thing ever went out on it was the alternator in the 5 years i owned it.allways kept oil changed.when i sold it,there was nothing wrong with it and if you pulled the dipstick,the oil was as clean as if was new.i did periodically put in slick 50 from 50,000-90,000.then i dropped prolong in it once and never look back.a crx beat me on the interstate with that car cause the **** thing would shut off on me at 105

I don't know about them from a maintenance standpoint, but the Integras I've sat in seem to do really well with kickpanel mounting of midranges and midbasses //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

You could definitely put some more miles on that one, I have a friend that has one with a good bit over 200k and he still drives from Pennsylvania to VA and back for SQ competitions without any problems.

now im really starting to like this offer...not to mention the step up from around 100hp to 140 or so...and sohc to dohc

also keep in mind, if your getting a good deal, then he's getting a bad one. so why would he want to go down 8 years? your milage is lower, but try to figure out whats his objective
