Hello I'm new here as you can all see. Well My love for the 3rd gene accord started a long while back since as long I remmeber the car which has been since preschool. Well now I am 17 years old and getting a job soon and was wondering if any of you guys could help me out. I'm trying to look for a 3rd gene to buy (accutally i have found a couple in the classified ads) and i was wondering what is a good price for one or what is the normal saling price of the 3rd gene?

Here is a couple of things I wanted to do with a 3rd gene
1 Rise it up about inch or 2 and go on a rally type course
2 Swap the engine to a SR20 or RB26
3 turbo its regular engine
4 make it AWD
5 make it AWS
thats my list of things to do in my life time to the 3rd genes I get my hands on.

Thanks for info you guys also i'm glad their people still trying to keep this cars generation alive.

um wow ....you have some interesting plans .... a sr20 in a 3g.... hmm ... well anyway.... the price on 3geez obvously depends on the year, model,condition,milage.... all that crap.... i would plan to spend around 2500-3000 bucks for a 3g with lower miles and in good shape.... well thats what they go for around here.... you can find them much cheaper .... friends of mine have got them for 500 bucks and they run fine .... dont look great or have low miles but ran good ... if i were you i would look for an sei .... if i found an sei with low miles and in good shape i would probally pay up to 3500 for it... goodluck man and welcome

Why not go with a 22R in the 3G... and use the drive train from a 4wd Toy car/truck.

Welcome aboard, sonny boy. Choices 1 and 3 would work, but 2,4, and 5 you're gonna need lots of miracles. Good luck.

i think he is going with SR20DET from FWD/AWD nissan. if that is the case, than you need to find Nissan Pulsar. they came in AWD mode and they had that motor.
i hope you have your own machine shop because it will take a lot of time and money to get that motor in.
