All subjective to the previous owner(s) maintenance upkeep, ive had mine for 2 years now.
Ive spent 100 on a oil change during both years.
So far thats 200 in maintanence and 1000+ in mods.
A brake job will probably be my next big-ish item , parts will depend on what brand you go with but for fronts and rears including rotors , pads and sensors will be about 325-500usd in parts.
My car was owned by a guy who was a car fanatic (owned 10 cars and his own shop) , he gave anything and everything it needed before handing it off to me. Pretty grateful for that.

In my opinion, for what it is. This seems to be an extremely good buy if looking for a toy/race car.

I think it was posted there a long while back. Anyhow if someone were in the market If all it really needs is a stock FD tranny it seems like a killer deal.
20k is pretty much the value of the swap and motor alone.

Truth be told though what you spend less on the purchase of an older car you will often make up most of the difference in mods and maintenance. Either way it's gonna cost you, just depends what you like.

Heh
I'm trying to sell my G8 so I can
A) Lose the car payment (interest balloons the payment while depreciation deflates the value)
B) Replace it with something older for ease of work and 'lesser' build quality increases fun factor for me
***C) Career change is the main reason but reasons A & B are still applicable since it creates a win win for me

Dont really think that'd be worth it. Considering its a US import, that car would probably fetch 2k realistically at most

If a person wants to put out $7k for an Integra; they should look for a perfect GSR or up their budget a bit and look for a Type-R.

^ Precisely. The 912 was the poor man's Porsche anyways back then. From a distance it looks like you're driving a 911, until you show off your 90 hp 4-cyl engine.
If you desperately want to drive an old Porsche I suppose you could go for it, but I'd sooner spend more money on a newer 911. 20k for a rustbucket quasi-Porsche is not worth it.
That said, the appeal of bringing that green one back to life that's been sitting since 1976 is strong.
