The Rundown:
Well, it has come the time to get rid of her. It is VERY well maintained, as many local Omaha/KC people can vouch for that. It has a clean CARFAX report, no accidents, etc, which I can email to the interested buyers. I bought the car in July, 2005. Most of its history can be found here: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1610373.

Car has been boosted for 3 weeks or so. Street tuned with Crome to 8psi. Great a/f's right around 11.5-12 across the board. Always turbo timed. Comes with stock ecu, all electronics manuals, boxes, etc. This car pulls on bolted on WRX's on the interstate fairly easily. Rev limited at 7400 always (rarely touched it). Turbo kit is in AWESOME condition. Polished piping. There were no expenses spared. Depending on when the sale is, could be professionally dynotuned with Crome Pro at the beginning of June 2006. Very fun to drive.
There are only very minor flaws in this car. Front bumper could use a wetsand, other than that, the paint has been meticulously maintained. There is a scratch along the passenger side door (barely noticeable). One ding on driver's side door, right below the moulding (also barely noticeable). Other than that, basically excellent.
Looking for offers beginning around 11k. NO TRADES. I have a set price in mind, but keep in mind, the less the money, the less spare parts, and electronics. I prefer a local buyer so they can come, test drive, get a feel for it, and drive it home, but if it's long distance, will help with arranging shipping. VIN can be supplied to very serious buyers.
Now, on with the pics. I have **** TONS. I mean, like 250 high quality Daishi/Schwalm photos from the beginning of ownership, through the phases, and at various shows, etc. So, if you want anything specific, not a big deal for me to email you anything, or more pics, etc.

The car is up for ClubCivic's Online Car Show for Best Coupe that starts at the beginning of June. Overall, the car turns tons of heads, pulls decent, and still drives perfectly fine out of boost. Looking to only sell to get out of debt, and possibly then take out another loan for a bike. Email me at carlton585@***.net for more pics or info, or drop me a PM on honda-tech.

Bump for white coupe, nice man. Clean as ****.
Someone buy this, cause white coupes are a very forgiving color when it comes to dirt
Edit: Carlton, why didn't you just buy a 99-00

Yeah retard, because that's all you're paying for the is the engine/turbo. You're dumb, gtfo.
It books for 7.5k, not bad for all the extras for a mere 3.5K instead of 14K that it cost me.
