[singhondeck]

needs a lil tlc and a drop and u shuda kept the si wheels bro..

[Eg4LiFe]

ek is better but it's your choice so it's cool....

[Arm&hammer]

why would you trade a somewhat clean ls/vtec ek for a b16 ef?

[goi_ek]

:doh::doh::doh:

[leobond001]

trust me this is an upgrade. he's been wanting an ef for a while. i'll take a ef over an ek any day

[smrlsvtec]

ef is dope!! :goodjob:

[EJ6]

trust me this is an upgrade. he's been wanting an ef for a while. i'll take a ef over an ek any day

no offense but you could have sold the ek an bought plenty of ef

[i4_garage]

L@L! ... that ek hatch (the shell alone) would have been worth more than 3 EF shells.

[hondalover00]

yeah you got fucked

[HeLLo iM iZzY]

What a fawkin downgrade.

plus how much cash?
please dont tell me it was a straight trade.

good clean swaped efs are hard to find now

[-EnVus-]

i know people who would give $4k for a good clean swapped ek and if you offer them a ef swapped they would be like.....Maybe about 8 years ago i would

looks like fucking shit.



good clean swaped efs are hard to find now

if they are hard to find then do you own god damn swap. quit BITCHING.

[EJdm]

^^^LOL...nice ef but yea i would of just kept the ek or just sold it or something lol...

[teh_mugen18]

Lol, if its what he wanted, its not really a downgrade...

[uproot]

there's nothing wrong with an ef, some people just prefer them :D

in the end they're both just old ass hondas with swapped motors.

you should of just sold your car and bought mine:D

High five on the car seat. I have one in my Probe. [hastle] [hastle] [hastle].

[dallasb84]

i like ef over ek hatch..... but id never trade my coupe for an ef.

ef look really nice light blue in my opinion.... factory slammed on nuts.....

not diggin the si's though. but i do think the ef's engine bay is way cleaner than the ek....



get a paint job and that shit will be d.o.p.e.

[SouthSide Tay]

i would rather have a clean EK over an EF even though i love EFs but to trade a 4 thousands plus dollar car for a 1500 dollar car is RETARDED and is if nothing else SLAP WORTHY........ thats like trading a ZO6 for a 84 Camero its just not worth it not for a straight up trade you need to call that dude up and tell him he owes you 2 grand....i mean you could have at least traded it for a super clean Si EF

EDIT: i see it is a SI...still doesnt make it worth it

we are all laughing at you right now........LMAO neg reps for you sir

[derecules]

Ok , thanks for the comments about my trade or whatever. I really don't think I down graded because I HAD PUT SO MUCH MONEY INTO THAT DAMN CAR my wife was just getting tired of it . I have put 4 motors into that EK and blown my original budget completely out of the water . I bought the car while I was in Iraq back in 07 and it had a GS-R in it . Ran great until I blew it up in may of 08 . LONG STORY SHORT .... I was pretty much tired of it and wanted something else and this came along so I jumped on it . I had the Ek up for sale on hondamarketplace.com for a while and nobody really seemed to want it either .

[Just_CHill]

Nice EK. I wouldn't have done it but as long as you like it then good times.

[JDMEK18]

I would of kept the EK but hey, to each his own! Your life, Your car, Your choice! Peace

[punkr6]

not trying to bash, But you lost your ass on that deal....

[Elbow]

WTF is wrong with everyone? EF > EK ALL DAY LONG.

[boosted_nonv]

exactly, I love Ef's over EK, people just wanna have the popular car whic is wack, son do the Ef right im with u on that track, its lighter and can do everything in the EK could do involving swaps, nice to be different, i got rid of my clean ass Da and got a Volvo, wish someone would say something smart about that, and really hope they run up against me on the street :D, son do u, nice car should've been alot cleaner for a trade but alot can be done:goodjob:

[Nittanys1]

i would've kept the ek


Why? Why?


Yeah, you lost out on that trade..


wow what a down grade


:doh::doh::doh:

:lmfao: :goodjob::goodjob::goodjob::goodjob:

[Shadowfire]

I think they are hideous. Should have just sold the EK, and bought a EF. You would have had some extra cash to spend to make it look presentable. You got raped on that deal.

[oneSLOWex]

LMFAO!!!! you traded straight for an older car LMAO

[Captain-Obvious™]

Sorry, and I am partial to ej6s... But, damn. You made a bad choice.

[derecules]

I see everyone says that i should have sold it for like 4k . I had it up for a little over a month on hondamarketplace and nobody tried to take it off my hands I HAD IT UP FOR 3500 OBO and i got told that was to much ... I almost laughed at the guy that told me that lol

[KevinT707]

Huh, but why .. I don't get it

That EF looks like complete junk. Only way that trade is suppose to happen is if the LS/VTEC was also complete junk.

[southside]

Yea wouldnt have traded unless the car was stupid clean If you were going to do that I would have traded you mines lol.

[amandDA]

I would have kept the ek

[derecules]

Some harsh ass comments lol but it is kool though ... all and all I think I came out on top in this deal ....

[punkr6]

... all and all I think I came out on top in this deal ....

how is tat ?

[boosted_nonv]

i just wanna know since he had it for sale all this time, why didnt one of u guys that keep saying he made a wrong choice buy it:thinking:, people just talk and talk :blah:but they could bought the car, if it was so clean someone would have bought it which they didnt, shit maybe it had electrical issues, now that problem right there would make me sell any car, electrical problems are expensive as shit, just saying, why didnt someone in this thread buy it instead of basically bashing the dude, i dont know him but damn people, all it needs is paint to me:yes:, apparently he wanted it really bad, and for the peeps that say why would u buy a old car, EKs are old also fools its almost 2010, damn 240s are old as hell but u dont hear this about them, so just let the lil homie enjoy is EF:D

[derecules]

i think I came out on top because I wanted something else . I got a B16a which I have wanted for a while also I wanted an Ef and i got that too ! So all and all i AM HAPPY WITH IT SO FAR AND YES IT DOES NEED PAINTING BUT i WILL WORRY ABOUT THAT WHEN i COME BACK FROM Iraq . I also plan on trying to find a front lip to go on it as well . Can somebody direct me to a good painter up there for this car ? What I am going to want is all dents popped and painted white ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED . tHANKS

[boosted_nonv]

My homie LENG-EG6 on here is a great painter, look him up, you'll see a pick of his S2000 that he paint in his sig, and keep it up, i love EFs so do it big man

Ok

[Sir_Christopher]

it looks good, you dont need much to make it look amazing and the motor is good enough!, and why is everyone hating??

its what he wanted.. get up off his nuts


and you should try eastcoastefcivics.com

nothing but ef love there!

[DustnU]

Nice trade!! We'll have to run one day if your close!! Car looks pretty clean. Check out mine in the car pics under my new DA!!!

[SlamminCRX]

lol man i saw the ek in person, id have to say it was even trade, the ek did have some problems and it wanst the best running ls/vtec.

it need it work also, it needed a paintjob so does the ef. oh well he wanted a ef, he probably likes ef's better.

it will take less money to make this ef clean and fast then the ek.

ef's go harder then ek's anyways. u see ek's everyday and they look the same. lol

ebay lip and fogs lol....some.

:stupid:not saying you're actually stupid though lol, but u made a beautiful point

i would have kept the EK, but its up to the owner... SlamminCRX says EKs are played out, but every EF i seen is pretty much the same too.. i'm just sayin.

[boosted_nonv]

ya'll people are still new to the game

[bigdare23]

LOL@everyone saying it was a bad deal.

First, he had it for sale for the price everyone "claims" it was worth, and it wasn't selling. So what is he suppose to do when he can't get what he's asking for? Keep it when he doesn't want it? Plus, this is IA, home of "I know you car is for sale for $3500, but will you take $1200 for it" PMs. So more than likely he was going to have to sit on a car, unless he gave it away.

Second, he said it gave him many problems. Now days dependable transportation is important. Once you get fed up of wrenching all the time, you just wants something reliable. I can feel where he is coming from with this.

Third, he got what he wanted, and that's enough to me to say that it was a good deal. That's the problem with the car scene now. Rather than being concerned about themselves everyone is a critic. Don't worry about that man's bank, worry about your own. LOL

[southside]

car looks better in the daytime and its a si DAMN! Ill trade shells.:D:rolleyes:

so you also know his woes with the ek.lol

Son u made the best point in this thread, u said exactly what I wanted to say without sounding mad, cause I was gettin irratated lol, just drive ya Ef son, like I said for like the 4th time good trade

100 % agreed.

is way too many noobs in the game these days. lol


so you also know his woes with the ek.lol

yea he comes out to the meets down here where i live. i raced that ek in my crx and pulled on him, when the ek was running right tho

then i raced him in my stock ls coupe. he only got me by like 1 car.

the car was preety straight, you just had to do some shit to make it run right lol

[claybird]

I'm confused

[punkr6]

I'm confused

obviously....

[sano240]

could have got two ef's for the ek bad trade

[derecules]

So why didn't you offer them to me wen it was for sale ?

[vwkidd]

The man wanted to get what he wanted. He's not hurting for money nor greedy. He wanted the car out of his hair so he did what he chose to do. Damn, all this shit talking bc he traded for a car that he really wanted and a car that he didn't want no more. Everybody has gave away something they didn't want anymore and this is the same case. If he wanted something I'm sure he would have mentioned it and not done the deal.

[S.Brewer]

his car his choice. EF>EK

[egpower904]

ef's are more fun to drive. the lack of an ls vtec and the add of a straight up vtec will decrease headaches. it should be twice as reliable. i say it was hella even. good job man. love it!

CHILL MAN. seriously the only negative thing about this trade is all the hate hes getting. he got a better motor, its lighter, its cheaper to work on, it will probably last longer. plus a baby seat so lil buddy can get his vtec fix. i see no cons.

[jdm eg6]

looks good its a honda
