it was painted Phoenix Yellow Metallic...an M3 color up till '05 I think. I wouldnt paint a car like that, but since I paid $2200 for it, Im not too worried. everything is perfect on it other than cracked windshield and AC needs a recharge. Im gonna wash both the cars and go take some more pics this weekend after I get the windshield fixed (i take too many pictures)

you got a z6 in there and for the price its a good deal, that color will get you a lot of looks, but past that killer deal.

Get a fart can for it. This way you can have the bumble bee rumble to go with the bumble bee color.

I can tell you it was a manual swap, so they might have changed the motor with the swap. I know the guy that did it really well, so I know it was done right. but like I said I know very little about Hondas, so couldnt tell you yet what it is.

I have a 93 EX as well, R12 in the A/C system, convert or find someone that has a license for R12.

Looks to be in really good shape, keep it safe.
Unfortunately it's a thief magnet, especially with that color. Two way alarm, kill switches, rabid dog in the back seat.

I think that is a nice color, for an M3, or a badd a$$ car. None the less, it looks pretty decent with the hood and lip. Nice find.

Nice car. It looks like it's in top notch shape, but that color is hideous.
