Default gauging interest in selling my hatchback

As the title states....

I haven't been able to post in the classifieds since I am only a trial member, but I was just wondering if you guys could give me some feedback. I have a 94 Civic Si, with a SiR motor swap that I'm thinking about selling. I bought the car stock in 99, and since have done the swap, ITR intake manifold, slimmer headgasket, high-flow cat, apexi N1 exhaust, nology hotwires, and iceman intake. The car runs strong, and I was planning on building the motor to go turbo, but since have bought an evo, and have been taking that route. Anyway, it also has a full wings west body kit, spoon rear lip, and all the gutters and door moldings have been shaved. It has projectors and was painted Lexus IS300 grey(very dark). Also, its lowered with 17" Kosei racing rims and toyo proxies, and has 4 wheel slotted rotors. I think that might be it, but I haven't really done much for a while, so I may have forgotten some things. Other than that, it runs really well, and looks good, the only thing is that the clutch is slipping(only when driving it hard) a bit, and there is a spiderweb on the front bumper. The car was painted by BodyWerks, and I think he told me $300 to fix the bumper, but its really not that bad. The body has less than 120,000, and the motor,tranny, and axles have approx 35k on them. Sorry for the long post, but I was wondering if there was anyone interested or what would be a fair asking price. Thanks in advance. http://www.honda-acura.net/for...44379

I would start with http://www.nada.com and add a couple of grand for the swap and mode. Either way your unfortunately going to take a pretty hefty hit on not get as much money back. Reason is most people look down at buying a used car that has been modified and those that do not usually do not have the money to buy it from you.

No one here will want it.....You lost like 90% of honda-tech when you said wings-west body kit and 17" rims...(even though I have 17" rims)

curious as to why, considering the car has a lot of potential, and is in great condition, btw, a link was added to the post. None of the body work was compromised, and it turned out really well.

17s are considered too large by the majority of EG owners. In my opinion, the EG is a very lightweight foundation for a sports car, so why ruin it with heavy rims? Also, Wings West is seen as too gaudy. With that being said, I think the car is very clean and I am very partial to the paint job. Good work, and good luck.

you do make a good point, and at one point I was going to try to go race(ie the swap) but then thought it would make a fun all around performance/show vehicle. Thanks for the paint compliment...thats actually a dirty pic, but the clearcoat on there is awesome.
