Default 1989 Honda Civic Si with b18a1 (ls swap) Minnesota $1700

1989 Honda Civic Si
187,xxx miles on body
Unsure on motor
$1700 OR BEST OFFER
VIN: JHMED7367KS001025

Will take partial or full trade for Geo Metro (early 90's), Ford Festiva (early 90's), Toyota Corolla (whenever as long as its fuel injected), Subaru, or 88-91 Honda Civic Lx or Ex 5spd STOCK.

Engine:
b18a1 complete swap
Cold Air Intake
4-1 header with 2.25 or 2.5" collector
IACV unplugged (throws CEL, I did this to get a nice idle)
FITV bypassed (previous owner did this, I just happen to tape it up and throw some gasket sealant to stop the air leak)
NEW throttle body gasket
NEW spark plug wires
NEW Cone Intake Filter

Needs an Oil change (I may do this before I sell, which I should but may not have time)
Driver axle has a small hole in it (I have a replacement to for buyer)
Car idles a little off 1.4-1.5 rpms Not really bad but noticeable with this exhaust setup, and thats a little high for idle.
Short shifter MAY be installed backwards, I've never had one and am unsure haha, it shift fines though.

Interior
Stock
96-98 Civic Radio
Some carpet is not sitting properly from previous owner runnning amp wiring kit
Driver Side seat has 2 holes as shown in picture, I have a Nerf Football and Gorilla glue that I was planning to shape to the seat, glue it, and then sew it back up, I can include with sale.
Passenger Seat has small tear near right shoulder
Aftermarket Pedals
Driver window makes slight noise when you roll it down at about the halfway point (just a quick noise)
Heat works on 2,3,4 settin, or maybe it was just 3,4. But it works!

Exterior:
A little rough
Roof has paint fade
Hood has dents from being kicked to shut, not sure why because it shuts fine, no luck finding a replacement.
Slight bondo work done to the rear quarters then spray painted over
Misc. Bondo works that were spray painted over. Can't notice to much until you are somewhat close.
Missing rear wiper.
Driver door lock is missing, apparently from a previous theft attempt.
Non leaking OEM Sunroof!!!

Suspension
Its aged. Not horrible but you can tell its got some age on it.
Probably needs some new ball joints
2 tires are good
2 tires are good but are cracking
Brakes seem to be good

Exhaust
4-1 Header 2.5/2.25 Collector
Test pipe
Pacesetter catback
A bit to loud for myself, but to each there own.

I purchase this car non-running. Some wiring had become loose and wrapped around the driver axle (reason for the hole), and tore apart. I soldered all connections and wrapped them up nice and clean. There are NO electrical issues. If you reconnect the IACV you will have an off idle but there will be no CEL. Also the CEL does not work. I just look at the ECU occasionaly to insure there are no blinking lights.

This is a great winter car. I was planning to use this if I were keeping my Crx. Its started every time. Heats up pretty fast. Never overheats (even on the hottest days).

I don't really drive it that often (since its not winter).

Looking mainly for trades but will gladly take cash.

Thanks,
Shane
