Looks really clean, but that price is high for what’s basically a B16 swap with bolt-ons and budget coilovers. You could get a nice K-swapped EG for 14K.
Haha so basically… should I buy someone else’s unfinished project? Common sense took a break.
Just get one of those tiny Grom bikes and keep 12K in your pocket.
Why spend money on high-end parts and then throw on budget coilovers? His lug nuts cost more than those things.

Haha this dude posted the same thing a few days ago and I said the same. Then people tried to argue that they ‘get the job done’ and that ‘all parts are made in China.’ Smooth brains… I totally love my coilovers with soft shocks and super stiff springs! /s
@Noel
Wow, I need to check that post out.
Lol too late, he deleted it. He’s just waiting for someone to tell him to buy it.
That’s not passing smog in California unless the guy has a shady connection. You could build your own K-swap for that price.

Yeah, exactly what I was thinking. Passed smog but it’s straight-piped? Sounds fake.
Passing smog in CA with that setup? Sounds like someone got a hookup. Those coilovers aren’t worth it either, I had a set once just to see and they literally fell apart. If you’re spending 14K, at least make sure the mods are legal.
@Lior
Yeah, no way those mods are legal here.
Take it for a proper test drive. You might find those stiff bushings unbearable.
Go for it.
You could build one for way less. My buddy swapped a K24, added bolt-ons, got it tuned, and still spent less than 4K total.
Just get an 8th gen Si and forget about this.
Think about how you feel when you use a zip tie where a proper clip should go. You know it’s wrong, but you tell yourself ‘eh, good enough.’ Now imagine that thought process applied a thousand times on this car. That’s what you’re buying.
Nope.
Are you sure you want to deal with someone else’s build?
Yeah, if it’s $1500.
