Time to let the car go, its been a great time for sure... you can read on the buildup even here on honda-tech as I've been a member here for a long *** time wow I'm old... lol. Next year I will start another project (FD/M3/S14/Miata) depending on how much time and money I have, hoping to buy back my friends kouki faced black S14 that I owned last year so i can LS1swap that **** and keep it all stock looking as its so beautiful but have an LS1 in the engine bay, yummay!

I spent the last two weekends cleaning up the interior and engine bay, I'll have to snap new pics, the ones below are old, sorry. I'm done sanding the entire car and will soon be painting it flat black again, I'll post new pics this weekend or asap.

I hope to get to the track this weekend to see how well she runs the 1/4 with the '99+ FD Torsen LSD and the 295 wide AD07's!

I might be able to get some local dyno time to see what the motor is putting down.

I havent put it on ebay yet but I plan to soon just to reach a larger audience.

Topped off with all fluids it weighs in at 2750 pounds.
Weight distribution was corner balanced to 51% front / 49% rear.
Ran a 12.9 @ 112 with a 2.0 sixty foot by a lame driver (me) before the LSD, CAI, sticky tires, nicer T56, etc.

Handling feel is excellent, acceleration / braking / cornering is amazing, I wouldn’t have built the car any other way with the same budget, it is just wicked, scary fast actually. This car is well sorted, built with pride, ready for track schools, drag strips and can be driven to California and back without any problems. I’ve owned this car for 4 years and with every new year I have made improvements and upgrades. It is a really fun car to drive and yes it is rock-steady at truly absurd high speeds.

I have other parts that are also included with this sale – gray oem 2+2 back seats & seatbelts, black oem cloth driver seat with stock sliders, front fender liners, front brake ducting, Hawk HP+ track compound pads for all 4 corners (barely used on the street) and 4 oem S4 T2 aluminum 16x7 wheels.

I am looking for $12,000 o.b.o.
