Good luck man... Hey question for ya... did you think it was worth it to buy the type r motor and mod it or would you have bought the type s motor instead... Also is there a way to remove that speed gov. on them... cause that cut-off just doesn't really cut it for me... thanks man and good luck once again!

I just made a bid...........



but it didnt pass the reserve price. :(

All I can say is: Port, is if I was you, I wouldnt sell my car EVER!!! (but I would paint it black or silver):confused:


You have a Type R with only 10k miles. :cool:

good luck on the sale... but one thing I would change... even though it has the type R motor in it.. people are going to be searching as Si. See if you can change the headline to 2003 civic Si type R or something like that... might help a little bit

....or just say SI with Type R swap. I can see some flaming coming from some saying a "motor" doesn't make it a Type R blah blah blah. Just a heads up.

you guys want the honest truth... as hard as it is to tell this.. im back in school now, and ever since i lost my company, it has been hard to make ends meet. couldnt pay the bill for a while, then a payment got lost somewhere, to make it short, honda came and picked it up and if i dont sell it by feb 13'th the car will get repo'd. i really dont want to see this happen after all the hard work i putr into it. believe me, this totaly sucks

01-31-2004, 08:23 PM
damn dude, I'm sorry to hear that. hell, I wish there was something we all could do to help, beside you having to sell your car. this sounds corny, but if there was someway to administer it, we could have a fund set up for times like this. sort of like what a union does to pay striking members. I bet several of us would pitch in enough to get you out of this hole. if you were able to pay up to current, would you be able to get the car back and keep it, or take your time and sell it then. if any of this makes sense, let me know. I would like to help.

Hey bro, before you sell, I'd love to see your car. I live in Gonzales just north of you.

PoRT
01-31-2004, 09:29 PM
only way i can get my car back is to pay it off in whole. i dont have that cash. the car is in storage right now, i dont even have access to it. thanks for the support guys, it means a lot to hear you say that. i wish it could happen

afterall, its just a dollar

I will help a fellow ephatcher out. for reals

How much are you looking to get (what's the reserve)? It sucks that you have to sell it. I don't know if I've got enough money to afford it though.

Feel free to PM me.

02-01-2004, 11:00 AM
Hey PORT, drop me a PM and let me know how much you are realistically looking to get for it. My gf is very interested. Thanks.

myeverlovinsir
02-01-2004, 11:31 AM
15k is a steal by any stretch. I would hate to be under this kind of pressure from repo and debt. We all know his ride is worth the price of a type-R, and some lucky bastard will have this very limited edition car for less than it's truly worth. Someone help him out.

PoRT
02-01-2004, 09:11 PM
in all honestly.. not that im asking to do this, but if i raise any money at all, i will put it towards what i owe and lower the paymeant for someone to buy. but i have to do this by feb 13th. and someone better get DTH's permission. but my paypal is purged302@aol.com
thanks for the concern guys.. and good luck

i would like to thank Dunrick for his donation.. every little but counts. thanks for looking out man. maybe one day i can return the favor

PoRT

What other sites do you have this on? honda-tech.com? clubrsx.com?
I can post it on honda-tech.com, if you want. At 20K, it seems to
me that there has to be *someone* you would want it...

PoRT
02-03-2004, 05:35 PM
i only have it on here and k-series... u may post it anywhere u want. it would be appreciated

I'm just bumping this one up, cause a lot of people dont realize Port's in dire straights right now, and I think it is great oportunity to see if people here are willing to send just a few dollars to ports paypal e-mail, posted above to help the guy out. He is the pioneer for the n/a k-series fans, and for his research alone I think he deserves atleast a dollar from the caring people on this site. I understand if you do not want to, its hard to give up our precious earned mod dollars sometimes, but this guy needs it. Payce

PoRT,
The car is on honda-tech now - here is the link. (http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=756205)

I suggest you register over there (if you aren't already)
and reply to any posts, but if you don't feel like that,
I'll try to relay any questions they post. G'luck.

02-05-2004, 06:44 AM
Tim,

There must be away to get the car back so you can put it back to stock? I have a motor for you. Shit everyone here has a motor if we can get that k20a out of there.

We need someone to co-sign a loan so Tim can buy it back so he can take his time to sell it to the right buyer, or part it out back to stock.

I'm sure there are plenty of morons here who would be willing to shell out $30 for it. They seem to drop their money on ridiculous crap for their cars already.

You dont listen very well do you?

OK Port, all cleaned up and reopened.

I'll dont put it past them registering another user name and coming back though.

Anything else just let me know.

Oh, and can you PM me with your reserve?

Would you like to be the first one to do that?

PoRT
02-05-2004, 11:11 PM
nah, i couldnt let anyone do that. i wasnt even asking for donations, these generous guys just did that on their own, and i thank them for that. i just want to see the car in good hands

Free bump.

I'd love to have that motor in my 03, but 20K is way too much for me right now. The videos are pretty awesome as well. I guess it's safe to say that the engine has been broken-in pretty well. :)
