This is the final price for the car, with the below parts listed.
VIN: 1HGEJ814XVL002011
My baby's for sale.
1997 Honda Civic EX coupe
5-speed, non-ABS model
172,291 miles EXACTLY on the car (cluster is removed and swapped as of last year, but I've been tracking the mileage since then because I don't want it to be a TMU title)
A/C removed
P/S removed
Cruise control removed
Airbags removed (although I have both airbags, and the stock steering wheel that will go with the car)
Autozone front brake rotors & Hawk HPS pads installed, great shape
H&R Sport springs with Tokico Blue shocks
MOMO Tuner steering wheel & MOMO hub
Pioneer DEH-7300 CD deck (I can't eject the CD though, my favorite Little Brother CD is stuck in there playing lol)
Rockford Fosgate 6.5" component speakers
Cerwin Vega 6x9" rear speakers
Two-tone black/red custom leather interior
Interior's in GREAT shape, very clean dark grey door panels, etc. Exterior's in good shape as well, no typical Honda 1/4 panel rust, paint's in EXCELLENT condition. Passenger-side fender and side skirt are slightly damaged from minor accident, but I bought a replacement red OEM fender and I'm sure you can bend the side skirt back in place.
The car needs the following to be complete:
- Complete engine swap (including mounts, ECU, engine harness, etc...
- Complete OEM cat and cat-back exhaust
- Gauge cluster
- Shift ****
- Armrest lid
I think that's about it...little stuff here and there but this is basically a complete car where I blew the engine up, and pulled it out. Plus you don't have to worry about salvage/theft/rebuilt title issues with this car, it's a clean title with no liens.
I am the 3rd owner. The original owner leased it for a year, then returned it to Honda. The 2nd owner owned it from 1998 - 2001, and his girlfriend drove it nicely. I bought it with 73,000 miles on it for $8,600 in 2001, and it is my first car so it's got some sentimental value to me.
Price: $1,500 FIRM
PM me if SERIOUSLY interested (aka, I have a trailer and cash in hand, and I want to pick up this car). CASH ONLY, I don't do payments or trades of any sort. No offense, but if you contact me with dialogue along the lines of "yo man, when can I check out ur car? I gotz a D16Z6 I could put in, it just needs sum tunning" etc...don't be surprised if I ignore your dumb-***.
Reason for selling: I'm getting out of the Honda game, no more worrying about dumping thousands more into this car, theft, ricers, etc...

Random pics when she was running nicely (~300whp on 9-10 lbs. of boost):



Again...PM me if you're SERIOUSLY interested and have cash in hand and a way to tow the car home. I am not looking to have my time wasted.
Thanks for looking!
EDIT:
As I listed, it needs a COMPLETE swap (including the ECU, mounts, axles, linkage, harness, etc), as well as a stock cat and cat-back exhaust, gauge cluster, shift **** and armrest.
It's sitting on its stock steelies, the suspension is assembled so it's a rolling chassis, the interior's 100% complete if you end up buying the leather seats still installed, etc.
It needs the driver's side power window regulator replaced, but I already bought a replacement unit that'll be included. The battery is only one year old from Checker. That's really all I can think of.
Oh yeah, the rear defrost button on the center console doesn't work. So you might need to spend a few minutes replacing the spring in there so it clicks up and down again. That's really it.
