Trying to sell the type r just now and just been offered this as a swap.. Not sure what sort of value it is, any jap freaks on?

The accord I have just now:

http://pistonheads.com/sales/1116672.htm

heres the spec


honda civic esi turbo
95k from new

eagle rods
block guard
arp head studs
acl race main bearings
cometic head gasket
its running a full edelbrock turbo kit
gt25 garrett roller bearing turbo
edelbrock cast manifold
edelbrock elbow
edelbrock inlet manifold
edelbrock injectors
russel oil lines
russel water lines
tial wastegate
tial dumpvalve
edelbrock boost gauge
blitz turbo timer

car built by sounds of silence in falkirk
car mapped by ava in glasgow using edelbrock piggy back air fuel controller

mapped to 178bhp at only 5psi however the ecu is self ajusting its also mapped for a dash32 actuator (cosworth) and made 262bhp at 18psi only reason i run it at 5psi is i drive from falkirk to edinburgh everyday 65miles round trip and wanted to keep good fuel economy 35 pounds of petrol gets me 320ish miles

the car is dark blue lowered 50mm jus fitted brand new rota gt3 wheels black with polished lip and 4 brand new yoko s drive tyres also fitted anodised red ultralight wheel nuts
interior is standard and clean and tidy


nearly forgot its got a full 2 1/2" exhaust system with cat still fitted (mot) a spearco front mount intercooler and a quaiffe limited slip diff jus had new front discs and pads

i have the recepts for all parts turbo kits and engine stuff!! however i dont have any recepts for the work done as its my best mate who does the work on the car he owns sounds of silence in falkirk so all work carried out is at mates rates
oil pump and water pump have just been done along with timming belt the cars almost at 96kmiles the convertion was carried out jus over a year ago and ran faultless ever

its not worth £4500, if it had a b16a maybe.
its a very old civic at the end of the day, you could probably build yourself one for that money.
how much is your accord actualy worth though?
