PLEASE DONT **** ON MY THREAD if you have nothing nice to say.....


that out of the way...

I will start off by saying I love this car. If I do not sell it for what I believe it is worth, I will be keeping it. The only reason I'm selling it, is that I want a 5 series bmw, yea i'm getting old. I won't be taking trades unless you have a nice 540i 6speed. I want a car with mushy handling, lazy boys for seats, and the room to fit 3 NFL football players in the backseat to take to the bar, the movies, to dinner, or wherever.

I have owned this car for the past 6 years. I am the 3rd owner, and it has been a major part of my life. For those of you who personally know me, I do not beat my car. I honestly drive like a grandma. I have a sportbike to be an idiot on. As of now, I use the car to drive to work and friends, and listen to music on. I'm very proud of the audio in this car, and honestly music is my true passion, so why should the audio in my car be any less.


I purchased it with 100,000 miles on it, and I have put 56k on myself. The engine that is in there now is about to roll over 18k on it. I will post some pictures, then a list of everything that is done to the car.

I realize this isn't a brand new car, yet also realize that there is over $8000 invested into parts, labor, and countless man hours of tuning, work, and attention to detail. I ALSO realize I will not get near this, but I'm not going to be bending over to get rid of it...that being said, here are some pictures! Obviously some older than others but you get the point.

I REALLY want this car to go to a good home! I'm putting it on here to see if any enthusiasts want it. I looked for months before I found this gsr, and believe I have taken car of her very well, and respected the machine that she is. That being said...






















and now to the modifications done to the car. this is a huge list, and i'm sure there are things that I am missing.

If i were to keep this car there are only a few things I would have left to do. I only tell you these things to be honest with you, and let you know where the attention should be placed.

a. paint it. the paint isn't terrible, but everything else is done on the car. the red really shines, but the bumpers, scratches, and rust could be fixed and make this car look brand new. I get compliments and looks at every meet.

b. nsx or type r master cylinder and brake booster. I really wanna put these dual piston calipers to work.

c. a GOOD set of cams. make this engine come alive! I put it together for it to last, but ran out of money when cams came around. As I'm getting older I care less about speed and more about class, hence a bmw.

<U>PRICE</U> I am wanting $6000. The thought of just parting it out has crossed my mind, as I would probably get more out of the car, but like i said earlier I want someone to take care of the car. I'm located in Cincinnati ohio and will consider delivery on price accepted.

if anyone has ANY questions PLEASE ASK. I will take pictures of the interior and close ups of the engine later this week gauging interest in the car. I could clean them both all up, sparkling clean but just will get dirty due to me driving it around. The Oil was just changed last week, and the manual transmission fluid a few months ago.

thanks for looking

 

bump for an extremely clean and extremely rare car. i hope you get exactly what you want out it, someone's gonna be very happy with that car!

 

i hope someone takes it home that deserves it!

 

returned pms!

 

Trade for B/J?

Hahaha.. If you wanted a DC2, I'd try to work something out.

 

not really intersted...but im bored, show me what you got

 

bump for another db2

 

Got to have love for the Gen2's!

 

this thing sold yet?

 

Haha..

http://www.hondamarketplace.co...33912

Yeah.. Good times. If you get a 6 spd. 540 you'll enjoy it, my uncle has a 98 or 99 and it's fast yet so comfortable I could fall asleep behind the wheel. However, I hope you have some cash in the bank or are mechanically inclined. Major repairs could easily buy all my books for school and meal points.

 

tryin to check out your pictures, but their all so big and at night..blaaa... go wash your car and find a good parking lot buddy! that car could look good but i cant see it, haha!!

yeah, that's the bad thing about the bmw's, maintanence costs. I am mechanically inclined, just not sure if i wanna open it up or just keep it at the dealer. whats up with your jdm front end?

 

The guy that had it before me did a fiberglass conversion. He didn't tell me and covered his paper trail. I've pretty much rebuilt the car because of the deal. "Caveat emptor" were the words of the day. Oh, more pictures.

With the BMW, some repairs require a diagnostic "reset". Just to keep owners out of where they belong. If the system isn't reset the car will refuse to start. I think you can get a cable and program kind of like Uberdata or something though.
