Default ***1998 Civic HX Built B18C5MugenSpoonBenenFunction7***56k Death

Rundown:
This is my first car and I hate to see it go, but I'm moving out of the Honda world. It is in the utmost perfect shape and plenty of people can speak for it. I have replaced almost everything with new OEM Honda parts down to rusty or dirty bolts. It is a magazine quality car, yet one could easily drive it everyday without hesitation or bring it to the drag strip then drive home in the cold a/c. I am an OEM parts junkie and thats clearly reflected in the build of this car...I even replaced bulbs like the turn signals with Stanley bulbs.

Exterior:
The car has had the full 99-00 conversion along with the "Type R" lips front and rear. It has 99-00 yellow fogs as well. I am a paint nut and the car has very very few swirls as it was cared for with a Porter Cable buffer and boutique polishes, glazes, and waxes.

Exterior Specs:
Flamenco Black Pearl
99-00 Front End (Bumper, fenders, hood, headlights)
CTR Grille
Type R front lip
Mucolluch 5300K HID's
OEM CTR headlamps
CTR Rear lip
99-00 Tail lights
Small side mirrors
New OEM Cowl
New OEM door garnishes
New OEM weather stripping
SLR Fenders
PasswordJDM: Cooling plate
VIS CF Hood and a painted OEM hood
Everything paint matched like the SI
Mugen Licence Plate Bolts


Interior:
The interior is very clean. Oem gray floor mats. Super nice and non smoker.

Interior Specs:
SI Cluster
OEM Floormats
Full EM1 SI Seats Front/Rear
PLX 300m Wideband
Defi Gauges (Blue Racer)
-Oil Temp
-Oil Pressure
Spoon shift ****
Alpine head unit w/iPod hook up
Sirius Sat Radio
Pioneer Speakers (doors)
Mugen Pedals
Type R Shift boot
Spoon ****
Hard Wired Cobra Radar Detector

Engine:
I first swapped this car with a low mileage B16A2 swap which was fine for a year or two until I had the desire for more power. I said before I'm an OEM parts junkie so I called up a New York based Acura dealer and sourced a new OEM Type R bottom end. The head was sent to Womacks in Denham Springs for new valves,dual valve,springs and Ti retainers. It was also checked for warpage and hot tanked. It was all assembled by Alex here on the boards and myself with very close attention paid to detail and the Helms. The motor was put together all ALL new OEM Honda hardware and bolts ($600).

Engine Specs:
2001 Acura Type R B18c5 Redot 11.5:1 With flat valves and thin HG (8,200 Miles)
Lightly Ported 2000 EM1 Si Head

Suspension
The suspension on this car is great. Not to stiff or to soft. It's Omni Power Street Full Coil Overs. It also has the Omni Front upper control arms to correct camber. It has Function 7 billet rear control arms as well. I wish people could see under this car to appreciate the nice parts that lie under.

Suspension Specs:
Omni Steet Full Coil Overs
Benen 3 Point Front Strut Bar
Omni UCA Camber Kit
Function 7 Billet Rear Control Arms
Progress 22mm Rear sway bar
Energy Bushings on Front/Rear Sway Bar
Brakes:
I actually got the front and rear brakes on this car from the same car the B16 came out of and they were in super shape.

Brake Specs:
2000 EM1 Front and Rear Discs
New OEM 15/16 EM1 Brake Master Cyl
New OEM EM1 40/40 Valve
Power Slot Rotors Front/Rear
Halk HPS Pads
Russell Stainless Braided Lines

I know what I ask myself everytime I look at a car for sale. Why are they selling it? Well.. I'll tell you.. I've had this car since I was 16 and I'm 22 now and ready to move on into something different. It's really that simple and I hate to do it but I need money for a down payment. I have put countless hours into making this car perfect and thats what it is. It starts every time, it runs great, has cold A/C, stops great, looks great, and sounds great.


I will also include all the stocks parts I still have for the car which includes some suspension stuff and some B series motor parts.

Well, I'm curious if anyone would be interested in the car. I'm open to offers at the moment, but please do not low ball me. This is one of the nicest Civic's you'll ever see, as far as cleanliness and quality of worksmenship.

Now you've seen the rundown of this car and your wondering if its fast..well for an OEM all motor EK coupe...yes it is and it will be for a very long time. The last time I had it at Corr it produced something like 185 whp and 131 tq. The Buddy Club cams in it really give it that super nice low down TQ we all want for driving around town.

This is a 13 second, 30 mpg, daily driver and with gas at almost 4 bucks who could want more?

The pictures are scattered but you'll get the idea.







































These are just a few pictures of the car. If you are serious about buying it I can and will take pictures of anything you'd like.


Contact: Brennan 985-507-0552 or brennan_furca@charter.net
Price: <FONT COLOR=""Red"">$8,500 O.B.O</FONT>
Location: Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Finally.. NO I will not part it out. No I don't want your trade. No I don't want your trade plus cash.
