Looks fairly clean to be honest.

For an accurate quotation though...

Mileage?
Service history? Good, bad? Cambelt been done?
Previous owners (not essential)
Bodywork?
Interior condition?

Hmm, its hard to estimate a price, best bet is to look on autotrader and pistonheads and look for similar cars.

I would say near, or just over the 1K mark. Some Motegi style 16's (4 stud so fit the 2.0) would really make it look special. That would finish it off nicely.

Il try and find a pic of what i mean...

Yeah thats cool buddy, just wanted to double make sure it was the 2.0 and not the 2.3. You'd be surprised how many people make the mistake, esp when the DVLA f?*k up the log book.

I must be wrong about the wheel stud thing then, bloody confusing 5th gens Laughing

Sure does look clean and tidy, so probably wouldn't be hard to sell it on, but on the other hand...."better the devil you know". If you know the car, and its clean, with a good chassis etc then an engine transplant into this one is still always an option.

Nice car though fella! Cool

yeh tbh i dont think id pick up more than 1300 for it and if i was to buy an already vti lude id want to spend about 3k on one so i reckon engine conversion cheapest way to go just more work

very interesting Exclamation

only 2.2 vtec 5th gens came with 5 stud, 2.0 and 2.2 non vtec were 4 stud Exclamation

yours has either got hub adaptors or has had the conversion done at some point Cool

Hi and welcome to PUK Jimmy. Nice car mate. If memory serves me right there was a debate about a similar non VTEC with 5 stud wheels not too long ago. It was black too. May have been the same car when it was for sale. I dunno.

Not sure about your engine swap dilemna... stuff like that scares me due to my lack of technical knowledge. I'd probably take the lazy option and buy a VTEC, cash permitting. As previously posted, a nice set of alloys would really set it off nicely.

VTEC or not... enjoy!!! Cool
