The Good
LSD + 4.785 Final Drive
Perfect project car.
Car is basically ready for either a Supercharger (which I have for sale also) or Low boost turbo.
The car runs strong and drives great. Very fun to drive, especially with the ITR tranny.
Over all the car is clean in and out.
Interior looks great considering there's over 200+.
The Bad
Car doesn't have power steering, but I have all of the components and will be included with the car.
Right now the a/c doesn't work. Everything is bolted up and vacuumed down, but I can't figure out why the compressor isn't coming on. Car will be included with another compressor that works, but will need to be installed and charged.
There's some sort of wiring issue with the power windows and OEM keyless entry.
Both windows roll up and down with no problems, you just can't control the passenger window with the driver side master switch. I've replaced the switch and the control module, but still no fix. Wiring is definitely not my strong suit.
The keyless entry will unlock the driver side, but not the passenger side. Again, I've replaced the control module, but that didn't fix it. I'm sure it's related to the window thing.
Driver side speaker stopped working recently. Almost certain is is related to the window/keyless entry thing. Basically, if you fix this, you kill 3 birds with one stone.
The transmission doesn't want to downshift into second when the trans is cold. Once the car is at operating temp, it downshifts into second just fine. It's only downshifting. Upshifting if perfect in every situation. It's done it since I've had it. The guy that sold me the trans has said he will come fix it, but he hasn't done it yet. His name on honda-tech is "not so civic." We did plan two sundays ago to fix it, but weather was bad, so he didn't get a chance to come up, then I went on vacation the next week.
Anyway, it's still a STEAL at $5k. Including the price of the car, I've spent over 13,000 on this car, from fixing all kinds of little **** and modifications. Really, all it needs is paint and a few odds and ends fixed, and it'll be a damn sweet ride.
Ask any of my friends from Columbia, they will vouch for the car and motor. Whoever buys this car at this price will get a great deal.
The Ugly
The body/paint isn't perfect. What do you expect from a 10 yr old shell with 200+ miles?
I've tried my best to be up front and honest with my car, as to not waste either your or my time. Right now that's pretty much all I can think of. The pictures speak for themselves.
I have tons of pictures, so for interested buyers, let me know.

That's actually a good idea. I can't go to Import Alliance, though. I'm going to the beach the same week and I just can't afford it.

I actually did most of the work installing the head studs (Jason was my little helper...hand me that 12mm) Anyways I'll vouch for the cleanness (cleanliness?) of the internals, also the cylinder walls looked perfect, still had a very visible crosshatching pattern. :thumpup: Car runs great....tranny makes it super fun to drive.
