28K for an EF? that's insane, unless it's in mint condition.
Before doing stuff like this, I feel that I should mention what happened when I took out my B16A that was swapped 8-9 years ago. The rubbers and hoses were all expired, just waiting for time to fail. Total cost of ALL new hoses and seals 1K+. (prolly cheaper if got knockoffs, but I'm not sure they exist.)
When buying a second hand car, if the owner asking this kind of price, ask him for service records. If want to sell at such a price, the f**king owner better provide detailed service records, and receipt of all his repairs. If he cannot furnish such things, then I suggest better stay away. Some of the owners want to let go their cars at high prices, but neglect to provide proof of repair/parts purchase.
My friend sold his EG hatchback for 40K, and even that is because it has tons of rare parts, like TE37 Limited, Spoon Calipers, Mugen & Spoon bits (not replica), and all the parts are bought new.
(which is why documentation is important, if seller talk, you think can trust 100%?)
Some of these fellas using replicas/kedai potong parts on their cars and trying to sell their cars at prices of 'premium' cars.
. Lucky for them, there's always idiots who buy these cars, then find out that the car wasn't worth that much, or on the verge of breaking down.Want to sell at "high-class" prices, but car never maintained at "high-class" level.
Since you mention you're still a student, be wary of minor maintainance, who can say that after you buy, drive it around a few weeks, a coolant hose fails, you overheat your engine, and suddenly hard up for money to repair.
Caveat Emptor.
Saw the ad you included, that looks like DC2R passenger side mount. Not clear in the picture, but if it's hard mounts, prepare for shaking dashboard and numb buttocks. Huhuhuhu
From the picture, I think 28K is overpriced for it. The car has damn near zero rare parts, and the fact that it has ANY replica parts at all, I would automatically stay away from it, because if the owner doesn't love the car enough to use original parts, I wonder what kind of motor oil and maintenance he put in the car. Actually never mind, I think I already know.

ermmm my plans are to get a B16B block, S4C tranny, with ORC clutch and also the clutch pump with the assembly. Hmmm....
Talking with some track kakis, they say can compensate with left foot braking to lock that free wheel in the air, but I've never successfully done it.
