Hi Ben,

Im thinking about doing an L-15 iVTEC (Honda Jazz/Fit/City) conversion. Would be interested in what sort of money a 1/2cut would be.

Cheers,

Dicko

at a guess $3k, honda halfcuts always pull big money in japan as 99 % of them end up in the US

This sounds like a good conversion, bump for price!

I like the CB70/80 because it doesn't ivolve much cutting of the body. If the K3VET is similar dimensions (ie: smaller than a Swift GTi) then I'd be interested in a closer look at one.
