Attn: mechanics pt 2 (VTEC JUST KICKED IN, YO)[views:2608][posts:14]________________________________________ [Jul 14,2010 1:32pm - DestroyYouAlot ""] I need a car, something that doesn't bend me over the pump and that I can fit my bass stack in. This is a car (just listed today): http://worcester.craigslist.org/cto/1842094543.html a) is this a good deal, or too good of a deal? a2) any issues I need to look out for with this year/make/model? b) the guy selling it is named "Dong" c) V-TEC JUST KICKED IN, YO |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 14,2010 1:45pm - ouchdrummer ""] v-tec's are real nice, but i know from past experiance that the lifetime of those engines is like 150,000. or at least that's what i was told when mine blew. |
| ______________________________ [Jul 14,2010 1:52pm - Slag ""] No, joke, in high school there were three brothers named Long, Dong and Tong. Last name, Thor. |
| ______________________________ [Jul 14,2010 1:53pm - Slag ""] That era Honda can last forever if it was well taken care of, ps |

| ________________________________________ [Jul 14,2010 2:06pm - josh_hates_you ""] from what i remember being told by a mechanic when looking at a prelude with a v-tech engine he said it was really expensive to fix if it breaks. something about the way the pushrods are designed. |

| ___________________________________ [Jul 14,2010 4:07pm - Spaldino ""] find a buick roadmaster/chevy caprice wagon with an lt1. shit gets like 26-28 mpg highway (depending on how you drive and gearing. although people that have 3.73s have reported getting 28+ mpg on long highway trips) and it can hold all of your band's equipment in it. reliable, comfortable, and smooth. |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 14,2010 4:09pm - Spaldino ""] 94-96 chevy caprice/buick roadmaster is what you would be looking for. i will rep those cars til the day i die. |
| _________________________________________ [Jul 14,2010 4:19pm - bobnomaamrooney ""] And once you get the caprice you'll want to swap out the lt1 for a B16B so you can still feel VTEC kick in yo |
| ________________________________ [Jul 14,2010 5:25pm - bigred ""] stay away from an lt1, offer them 1200 for the honda and call it a day. get the timing belt done at some point unless its already been done and you should be able to get 200,000 out of the engine |
| ________________________________________ [Jul 14,2010 7:18pm - DestroyYouAlot ""] I got it. Shit's clean, most everything's solid. DONG WAGON IS GOOOOOOOO |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 14,2010 8:48pm - arilliusbm ""] not bad. 129k for a 96? damn. I'm nearing 150k and I've got an 00. |
