Very early JDM BB4 H22A NOT Breaking

Post by Cambie » Fri Mar 10, 2017 3:53 pm

Hi all.

Decided to break this 91 4th gen 2.2 Si Auto. A few things come back on latest MOT. Engine is immaculate and the VTEC is still amazing. I let it absolutely sing on the way to the test centre today. It is failing on Exhaust front and back, Ball joints and tyres.

I cant afford to have a garage do the repairs and am not skilled enough to do myself hence it might be best to see if it is in any way useful to others out there.

Ive owned it since it was imported in 98 when it had done 34k, its now at 102k. Only thing not original is the 5th gen "moonroof" I added a few years ago.

Reconditioned gearbox added at 90k.

Is the whole car for sale? If so:

Where are you located?
How much for whole car?
What condition are the rear arches?

Thank you!

Ive been to see this lude today - i like it :)
hopefully it wont be broken and maybe the owner can keep it and fix it up with some help from local luders and the forum
i do have all the parts needed to get it through its mot but i couldnt offer him much more than the going rate for a car with no mot
if only these cars were worth more on the open market.......
@preludemanh22 has a facelift auto up for sale with mot and no major things needing fixed and he is getting no interest even at a low,low price of £580 :shock: :o

i have already commited to buy another phantom grey auto from a forum member in Glasgow so im already overstretched

will wait and see what Cambie decides ;)

Well done for popping over to see it and giving some advice etc.

I would gladly take them all, but out of space and not having any time at all atm, for my existing cars even :( Work is just drokking manic and not earning enough to pay someone else to do the mundane jobby on the house for me, in the limited time I do have spare (so the balance is totally not right :evil: )

Any pics?

i hope cambie doesnt mind me closing this thread out :)

good news is he is keeping the car and even better news is he now has all the parts needed to put it through the mot and keep it on the road for many years :D
