So i decided to cancel the order on my 07 Si and go with an R.

Took a 45 min. trip to Conn. yesterday to look at this

https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1782284

I got him to 15,000 for it stock, besides the suspension (stock is coming with the car just not on it).

It has a small ding in the passenger 1/4 panel from what looks liek a shopping cart.

My only concern is while looking over the motor, i saw a few drops of liquid near the head gasket, so i asked him if it was leaking and he said that he had to change the vtec solenoid and while changing it, it just dripped down a little bit.

My question is if that isn't the case, he has only put 1,000 miles on the car since Oct. 15th, could the headgasket not be expanded like it should be due to lack of heat from the motor not being used??

Either way, i offered 14 cash and he accepted. So I left a deposit and I just have to wait for the bank to hook it up with a few grand I need, hopefully by the end of the week it will be in my hands

I forgot to ask/check what number it was, I was to busy inspecting the VIN's to make sure they all matched which they did

 

Nice, thing looks great. You'll have much more fun in that. Nice ride!!!!
I wouldn't think the head-gasket is leaking at that mileage.

 

nice. gud luck w/ heR/ keep heR safe.

btw nice set of feet shes wearing. lmk if u gonna get rid of em

i know i should have taken pictures of it, but i was looking the car over from top to bottom, front to back...i honestly just forgot to take the camera out of the car.

i think the ding can easily be pulled out by dent wizard and with whatever is leaking i think it's due to lack of driving or from when he changed the vtec solenoid

 

if you do pick it up and need any help you know where to find me.

dont forget to sign up for expo so you can see what the car is all about

I saw your old car today, and the driver. I might have to throw a brick thru the windshield. hope you wont be too mad.

 

man that's the itr i wanted...

many of itr's are rockin in the 845 area code...

 

I was the only one for the longest time. Now I know of 4 or 5 in throwing distance.

 

we all should have a winter meet...i know bbasso is trying to get one started for feb.

 

my car will still be on jackstands in Feb.

i corrected that for your haha

i do want to drive it for a few days and make sure that it isn't the headgasket leaking. so when i get it if you wanna check it out that would be cool.

and if you do decide to do that to the ole gsr, make sure to get my J's intake back so i can use it on the R. and the jdm front while your at it

are you talking about the ever so common leak...prolly fine considering the mileage...

i just explained it to another person and they said something about the seal for the vtec solenoid if it isn't seated the correct way it will drip like that

i highly doubt its the headgasket, but rather safe than sorry

 

i see that it was listed originally for 19k.. can i take you with me on my future R shopping

Looks very clean and congratulations on the R

 

You bastids on the East Coast get all the good deals!

 

Nice! I'm personally not fond of the optional skirts and rear valance, but the car is super clean. Good deal!

like i said, its 9 yrs old in a few hours so it isn't perfect.

the one ding needs to be pulled, the itr wheels need tires, and he put it back to stock for the price...but i think it' s stll a great deal

 

the car is 9 years old but since 94 it's kept up with every newer model i'd say, and it's still keepin up, good choice with the R though..
