Pictures:
Price: £4500 gbp NO OFFERS

few bad points:

car cat C in 2000. bodged repair hence we had to do a full panel swap on passenger side rear quarter.
pannels are NOT painted underneath the mugen kit.(no problem as long as you dont pull the kit off!)
rear bumper has paint bubbling on it (moisture trapped in the fibers) and requires a re-spray (i have 3 liters or the original color mix left over, enough to shoot the entire car again)
paintwork looks great in the pics but there is the odd sanding mark in the base if you catch it right (im sooo **** when it comes to paint!)
drivers mirror glass broken
boot struts are flat. no rear seat. no head unit. bonnet was on spacers and its warped it slightly, i cant get it to fit any better than how it is already.
pcv system could do with plumbing into the exhaust, currently venting free air via a catch can but in stationary traffic or at prolonged wot you can smell the crankcase through the vents.

this car owes me over 10k. and could potentially be one of the best crx's in the country, its an animal and the engine just wants a nice set of cams and train to set it off
