1989 Hatch drag, bracket car. Turnkey, $3000
Yes, this is a bargain. 
Can even deliver anywhere between 59230 and Tacoma. To many cars, so I'm just moving this one out. and shooting somebody a deal in the process. More pics in the link at the bottom. Have clear title in hand. Car has standard bumps and dings, but looks decent enough. There is a primer spot I put on the hood to help "bait" a few local races. I don't think there are any pics of it, but if you look close in the videos from the track, you can see it. Of all the Hondas I own, THIS is the only car I've ever won any money with at the track. Very consistent. Been to 3rd place at a Wally race with it. and another 3rd at our tracks money race. I've gone rounds in this car.
A dialed bracket car. I have a LOT of fun in this car, hate to sell it but, need to thin my Honda hurd. Normally aspirated b16a. Runs 13.8-14.0 in the 1/4 depending on the air. Best 1/8th mile ET was 8.788@77.99 at our altitude. Best 60' time = 1.873. Super light car, weighs 1974# with me in it, suited up. Easy to drive, goes straight. Setup with the MSD 6al and 3 step launch control, wired to work with the e-brake, during burnouts or staging. Geared almost PERFECTLY. If the air is good, you bounce the limiter in 3rd, just as you cross the line. If air is not good, just after the line. Doesn't come with the slicks and skinnies, will have the black wheels and tires shown here.
If you look at the pics, I welded a bung into the air intake tube, and put a bung on the fuel rail so it's easy to plumb for nitrous if that's your bag. I never installed nitrous or sprayed the motor. BUT, the ground work is in there if YOU want to. Plan ahead, as they say.
One summit race seat on adjustable rails is in the car right now. Take it to the track this weekend.
b16a
gsr trans with cable to hyrdo conversion. Smooth, no grinds. Has LSD.
Brand new Ksport pro coilovers, all 4 corners
ETD traction bar
MSD 6al with 3 step launch control (launch control wired very cleanly to work with the e-brake handle.)
AEM Fuel rail
AEM pressure regulator
ACT clutch
DC 4-2-1 header
Custom catch can
cold air intake
Autometer tach
ARP, long drag wheel studs
headlights and tailights work
bumpers are gutted
no wiper mechanical stuff on car but i have it
Interior is gutted
Custom dash
Here's a bunch of pics of the car. The pics at the end are the oldest. Pics with stickers on the car are newest. Stickers aren't really stuck to the car, they're magnets, don't tell anybody.

Re: 1989 Hatch drag, bracket car. Turnkey, $3000
Don't delay, I'm leaving with trailer in 24 hours. Save a lot of time and money if I deliver it for you for a $100 bucks toward gas...
I'm just saying, for the guys that have PM'd and expressed interest, now is the time to make the decision. I'm getting ready to leave.
$2900.
