    Tidy looking Integra with NCT til February 2021 and tiny miles, €2000

    Probably next to impossible to insure, but it looks a nice example. Would very much like this

    I assume that’s non vtec too.

    Different mechanic thinks that it's too. Reckons it's a main dealer only job, it has to be programmed in after fitting.

    Anyone want a V50 for parts lol.

    No it does not. Just change it, the intelligence is in the fuse board (CEM) and because it is a funny plastic key all you do is fit it.

    Is the car available still?

    Best hope for that integra is to garage it for 10 years until the shell is worth something. Imagine trying to insure it for what it is... ugh.

    160HP and a economy engine so 16v engine which closes 4 to make it 12valve at low RPM so I suppose some sort of VTEC but economy version and nothing on exhaust cams.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,228 ✭✭✭selectamatic


    K20a3 engine most probably in the integra similar to the engine in the accord of the time.

    The Americans actually make decent power with them by swapping the cam assemblies from true vtec engines into them and locking them in vtec, its called the "vtec killer" mod it has to be tuned on a hondata as well to run right.

    They can make over 200bhp.

    There's lots of cheap k24 parts in America though so stuff like this isn't really viable from a cost perspective over here.

    The slushbox is the big let down in that integra.

    That Merc looks very good.
    Considering there is still 5 months tax and NCT until January, along with the timing chain replacement, it could be well worth a shot for somebody! ;)

    Chavellers choice haha..an Avensis. Locally owned & serviced since new. Garage gave it a full service, new tyre & pads for €1500. Boring dependable & reliable, just what I was after.

    Nice looking Camry automatic with NCT til March 2021 and a bit of tax for €2000.

    Not sure if they sell for this kind of money, but any that appear on Donedeal seem to be priced high. Wouldn’t mind trying one at some stage


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 73,328 ✭✭✭✭colm_mcm


    I just don’t get Camrys. I’ve sold a few and driven more. Yeah they’re dependable, but they’ve really got the most basic of interiors with smatterings of fake wood, there’s no style there, the gearboxes are either a slushy auto or a manual with a very strange gear lever. Then there’s the 2.4 engine which sounds like a Hoover.

    I quite like the 80s Camry though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,308 ✭✭✭✭wotzgoingon


    That camry. Mat on the dash never seen one of those before.

    Think of it as a Corolla built for America and it makes sense can be understood

    Hard to go too far wrong with an Avensis.

    I suppose if you couldn’t afford a GS300 it was the next best thing!

    I was looking for a reliable compact car under 2k.

    Ended up with this:

    521841.jpg

    521842.jpg

    521843.jpg

    521844.jpg

    521845.jpg

    NCT till June 21 (covid extention - originally until 02/21), taxed until end of September 20.

    Front suspension needs some work now, but otherwise can be driven.

    I paid 1200, I think I could have easily haggle it down to 1k max, but the body was just perfect and the blue colour was and is beautiful.

    Pray for me guys. I mean it ;)

    1.8 Twin Spark btw.

    Did you buy the Alfa on the 3rd June or just today?


    That's some car for 1200 euro, beautiful!

    Nope. Someone got tired of it in the meantime.

    I suppose being the 5th owner on a 14 year old car is reasonable.

    Looks lovely and a lot more expensive.

    Economical?

    Well wear. Love the Alfas. That one looks particularly clean.
