Im posting this more so to ask the question if its a dreamer? 1999 EK9 Civic with a K20 engine for €10k. Do they really fetch that much?

Its a K20 transplant. Given the level of modification I doubt the owner informed anyone of the changes made :pac:

you'd see clean standard ek's making €6k ish. i reckon it's worth it. one of those rare instances where an engine transplant actually increases the value. i mean bare k20 engines go for over €1k don't they?

djimi

Really? I didn't realise EKs went for so much.

I did some looking and Icetronix charge something like €4k for a K20 transplant so I guess that car is on the money price wise.

I'd love to drive one; a civic with a k20 (at least i presume that's what it was) left my dc2 for absolute dead away from traffic lights a while back!

an ek9 i should have stated. i suppose its like most things, a lot have been wrecked at this stage so clean examples are rising in price.

Doesn't even mention what engine is in it or anything important like NCT or tax etc.. I know it's 2.0 litre but is it a turbo. You don't want to be driving around in your pretend ferrari and get left behind by a TDi.

Taylor365

over 19k sterling spent on it to get it to where it is

....he probably has a glass of wine every night rocking back and forth.

19k stg would get a dacent enough porsche...

For 10k it doesn't exactly have the best bits you could put on a k20.

No RBC, k100 instead of a kpro and a AEM induction kit instead of a tegiwa/GruppeM.

I've seen better specced k20 civics sell for less so wouldn't agree with the price to be honest.

The log book issue is also something I would not like having to deal with. If you meet a Garda who knows what to look for, you'd be ****ed.

ShadowHearth

In fairness that K20 looks fantastic and I always had respect and secret love to k20 ek9s. I dont even know if asking 10k for it is in dreamer category.

nice example, but jaysus!

If that yoke is in county Cork then it will sell at close to that price I'd say, people seem to have a mad horn for them down here.

Still a huge dreamer though!

ANYONE describing this car as a stunner is already deluded. I didn't read past that word.
A Ferrari or a Lambo are stunning cars, not an ancient Jap crapbox.

And some fake walnut dash and even a/c. Sure that has to be nearly 1900 euros worth there alone :pac:

When the ad said stunner like it was something amazing I just thought of cruising down the town some how I don't think you'd get to many jealous looks from people as that word insinuates you would.

yeah, but they added so much value ripping out the original engine and placing a dayysul into it, she'll do 60 to the gallon now lad!
What a dingbat. Car is practically worthless now.

young lads will get a stiffy for it now it's diesel, but in fairless a fairly stock turbo petrol model will do 40-45mpg if you drive it any way reservedly, sacrafising 70bhp (almost 50% of the cars power) for the sake of 15mpg seems crazy, not to mention the more expensive tax and explaining to insurers about some obscure engine swap.

that car seems to have been pretty much constantly for sale for the last 6 months. everyone must buy it, then feel disappointed. dearest i seen it was for €3200 in wexford.

But it's had a 60 point health check that has to be worth 30k there straight away :pac:
It's hard to see anyone having 70k to throw at it. But I suppose they wouldn't have bought it if they didn't think there was some market for it.

They think its 2006 again, where Irish people would buy a classic car in the UK for 600 pound and sell it here for €2k. Then people in housing estates would park them in rhe rain and wonder why there was only a puddle of rust left a year later.
I'd say Ireland was responsible for the destruction of thousands of classic cars in that time.
