Honda EK Hatch from Port Irene?

**onewingedangel** · April 28th, 2011 01:18 AM

sir, im planning to buy an ek3 din sa port irene. maybe next month or early june. may contact ba kayo sa port irene? gusto ko kasi malaman kung merong stock sila dun para di sayang yung pagpunta. ang layo din kasi.

how much should one pay for a converted ek3? i saw one the other day. 300k daw ang asking price. manual with 1.5l engine. medyo interested kasi ako... hehe

Eh. 300k for a D15 hatch? Why? When you can get an SiR with a B16 for 350k?

I'd rather buy a non-converted unit with a more powerful motor than spend all my money on a slightly prettier hatchback with a puny 1.5, rear drum brakes and a hack and paste job on the steering rack.

with all the hassle of converting, 300k isnt worth it. suma total aabot ka 350k kung RHD pa.

dati na din po ako naghahanap ng SiR. ang hirap din po kasing maghanap ng SiR na hindi inabuso. daming owners na mataas ang asking price, nakakadisappoint naman pag natestdrive na.

medyo rare kasi ang ek hatch sa daan, tapos magandang project car din. problema nga lang talaga yung conversion: hit and miss.. swerte mga nakakuha ng properly converted units, malas naman yung mga nakakuha ng chop and weld units...

just asking kung magkano dapat ang bentahan ng mga ek3 hatch? curious lang po...

pero baka magbalik din ako sa paghahanap ng SiR... hehe

Can't you like .... stay away from Hondas ?

One unit you could look into is the Ford Lynx RS M/T. You could get it with the same price as the SiR ( sometimes EVEN cheaper ) & it's helluva newer ( 2004 vs. 1999/2000 SiR ) & of course, much more comfortable.

ganon talaga sir sa 2nd hand. dami nangangarap ng presyo nila. tyaga lang, meron din lilitaw fair price.

ang mahirap sa coverted, meron mga hindi masisilip basta basta like the cross membrane etc. mas ok to get RHD then kuha pyesa. kaya dapat kuha lang niyan mga 200k. not worth all the trouble IMO.

I'd say 250 is a fair price for a well-converted unit. Or actually, 200. But then, asking prices for secondhand Civics are always un-naturally high.

Rarity is never a good reason to buy a car... but then... EK hatches aren't really "rare", considering every other shop has a Civic EK as a project car...

If you want something rare... get a Civic station wagon.

ang dami nga sir na ginto turing sa kotse nila. parang di nila alam yung term na "depreciation"

yeah, ang dami ngang hassle ng converted vehicles. thanks for pointing that out

i guess i'm gonna stop considering getting a "B plate" civic. kung di talaga ako makakakita ng maayos na SiR, i guess i'm going to start my project from a vti or lxi.

rare nga po yang wagon, i have yet to see one running on our streets... haha
