radiator = $100
rack = used $100
coolant = $30
EGR = junkyard (free.99)

How much are you looking to get for the whole car? My cars engine are transmission is in great condition. I am really thinking about swapping it if I find a 3.2 body in good cosmetic condition.

why get a used rack? Then a used egr they will just end up failing the same as the ones in my car. radiators here are around $120 plus lador for the rack then plus the radiator it would be well over $1000 I have already got quotes. I just not interested in putting another grand into this car cuz it seems like everytime i have work done something elese happens.

I owe 1800 on the car the rims were around $1000, exhaust was $250, intake was $100, stereo was $350. Thats around what i want to get for the car I really dont expect to get anymore then $2000 sense it does need some work I think thats a fair price or $1800.

Nice car, but two door + baby can be a bit of a hassle. I lived w/ an Integra at the same time as my TL and could not imagine myself, my wife and other kid plus baby in the Teg. I'm sure many have done it, but it would be restricting after coming from a TL.

With 234K miles I'm with you about getting something more reliable, unless you are willing to put some money in for worn items and put aside more money for preventative maintenance to keep it running well.

Thanks for understanding "monkeybut". Well my wife is planing on getting a accord in a couple weeks like a 5k from a dealer which will be a 4dr. The teg is just for me to have fun in. I took it to a repair shop for estimates for the front end, radiator, timing belt and brakes/rotors. It was well over 5k!! Which i no i could do all of that for a lot cheaper but i do not have the right tools or a place/time to have the car down that long i use it everyday so it was just not a option for me at all. Even asked if they could set me up with an payment account or something but they said no they need it all after the car is done.

So now I'm here with a car i do love to drive but its just not worth my time any money anymore.

It's not negative, it's just sad that everyone is leaving this platform. Jesus, both of you need to get your eyes checked, haha.

The way you wrote that had me I'd love to have another 1G is comparable condition to mine(before accident). So classy and sleek lines and unique looks. A lot of people use to ask me what car is it.
