GSR swap???? is this a good price??

[CRXchic19]

ok. i got a guy who will do a complete swap for me in my CRX for $1000. that includes the complete GSR swap, wiring, CPU, tranny, the works, and that includes labor, taking mine out, and swapping this in...

all numbers are legit, so its not hot or anything, and its out of a 97 teggy with 70K.....is this a good deal??? ive never looked into pricing before for this kind of swap, so i wanted to see what the rest of yall thought.

thanks :D

[Papa_Smurf]

thoes swaps go from about $2000 and up, so you're getting a deal there girl, espically when it's being installed :goodjob:

buy my rims though first :D!!!

[CRXchic19]

you stalking me??? lol j/k

oh i will :) i told him i wasnt gonna be able to till about at least 3 weeks from now :D

Budgets ROCK!!! lol

[Papa_Smurf]

lol i'm not stalkin ya, i was just scrolling down to the Local forum and the GSR swap caught my eye and then i saw it was you, trying to buy sumthing other then my rims. lol :tongue1:

[Sammich]

only for $1k that's cheap TOO cheap, if that includes the engine and installation.

[Vteckidd]

install price thats about right.

If thats install AND MOTORSET, NO WAY, run now.

Check with shops too, you can get a reputable shop to do it for $1000 labor instead of an individual.

check with Mainstream Performance, Balanced Performance, H+M Motorsports

[Vteckidd]

a GSR engine swap BY ITSELF goes for $3000 from any plae that is worth a damn

youll need the HASPORT Cable to Hydro conversion kit as the CRX Is cable trans, an the GSR is hydraulic ($550)

EF Shift linkage $100

OBD1 conversion $350 (harness, ecu, etc)

labor expect to pay around $800-1000

[2.0civic]

damn thats cheap as hell.....

[superman]

if its legit and everything checks out go for it

[Vuongy_Dong]

sounds too good to be true.

[96CoupeRider]

[puregroove]

sounds too good to be true.

[Kyle]

Stolen parts maybe?

[ForgottenSoL]

Can I have his name and number?

[TheChosenOne]

It's NOT going to cost her $1000. Believe me.

When dealing with the hookup, that initial price doesn't include everything. Just like Mr.KiDD said, she's prolly going to have to pay for parts, on top of that grand, and by the time it's all said and done, she would have much rather gone top a reputable shop and had it done...:rolleyes:.

My knowledge is telling me she'll end up paying NO LESS than $2k...give or take.

[Turbodude06]

hell that 1K is worth the swap alone.....

[Liltoua]

shoot...gimmie that kinda price and ill do it lol

Of course! But I wouldn't mind a hook up like that! If it's legit.

[CRXchic19]

thanks for the advise, and also the ones that pmed me. i'm gonna check if he is legit or not, i'm planning on going up to the shop next weekend after i get back from FL. i'm leaving sunday, or i would have gone sooner. he is a friend of a friend, ive seen a few of the cars that hes done, they were clean, and the other guys that know him said price was for real, so idk i'll check on all of this and get back to yall.


maybe he expects 1K and boobies as payment, who knows? cuz at first he was talking about $1,600 then he said he'd do it for $1,300 for me. and i told him if he can do it for 1K i'll be down in 2 weeks and he said yeah.... but if it has anything to do with my twins, i'll stick with at least the 2K......lol

[Vteckidd]

IS IT PARTS AN LABOR OR JUST LABOR FOR $1000?

[Vteckidd]

you still havent answered me

IS IT PARTS AN LABOR or is it LABOR ONLY for the $1000

my grandfather had a saying that seems to always be true:
If it sounds too good to be true it usually is

why would someone give away a swap worth $4000+ for $1000?

[cactusEG]

[GSRteg®]

Stolen! :yes:
