as the title states, i have a 97 civic ex that i am looking to trade. willing to sell outright "for the right price", but that price is above what i would consider the market value for this car, so im mainly looking to trade. contact me via email for more pics if you need them. email: jamato31@yahoo.com phone: (607) 857-9588.

a little basic info first...i bought this in mid june of this year. it had been sprayed like a week before i bought it (purchased from a friend i worked with) it was white before, and now is flat black (more on this later). it has 141,xxx on the clock and is my dd. i get about 35 mpg on average which has been mostly in town. it has been turboed in the past, and was blown up. the current engine is a d16y8 from a delsol, to the best of my knowledge. title is clean and in my possession.

bad stuff first

-the paint...its flat black, which i like, but understand if most people dont. it was sprayed directly over the white with a gun, not a rattle can job, but it is on the outside only. doorjambs, trunk underside and hood underside still white.
-floormats are worn
-the driver side door lock rattles at idle
-in between the rear headrests is slightly faded and turning a light purple
-no ac or ps (completely removed, lines and all
-cruise doesnt work
-shoddy job taping off around tail lights (shown in pics)
-paint flaking on the grille (i plan to replace soon)
-needs an o2 sensor, but this will most likely be done before anything goes down

on to the good stuff

engine:
-d16y8
-aem short ram intake
-5zigen axle back exhaust-my favorite part...its deep and mellow, and only loud when you want it to be
-all stock other than that

exterior:
-flat black, side skirts, hood, and mouldings sprayed with gloss black to not have the primered look
-gloss black hx wheels, could stand a touch up
-smoked tail lights
-RUST FREE/STRAIGHT BODY!! this is very rare to find in ny. the undercarriage, wheel wells, quarter panels, everything is rust free. i just applied some rust preventor and more undercoat to the rear wheelwells in preparation for winter this week

brakes/suspension:
-new front rotors and ceramic pads*
-new lower ball joints*
-new wheel bearing (pass side)*
-new inner tie rod end (driver)*
-kyb gr2s**
-eibach pro kit springs**
-blox gold lcas**
-asr subframe brace-silver**
-blox 21mm sway bar**-have not been able to get it to understeer since installed, and trust me ive tried pretty hard. i love this thing
-falken ziex tires with about 85% left all around

interior:
-99%stock, only a short shifter
-no fading/cracks in any plastics
-factory sound, but wired for a system
-sunroof, windows, locks, and mirrors all work-pass window a lil slow
-spare tire and scissor jack still there
-overall very clean

trades that i will consider: as i said my car is very clean and I will not downgrade in that department. what im looking for is something 95 and older: civics (hatches preferred), integras, crx's. id like to come into a b-series, but am definitley open to a car with a good, healthy d.

sorry for the long post, but i tried to be very thourough. the new owner of this car will not be disappointed. perfect for a dd or project. tranny shifts fine and the car is solid all around. throw out some offers, show me what you got.

*=less than 200 miles
**=less than 1000 miles
