Default 1999 Acura 1.6EL (Exclusive in US)

Description
1999 Acura 1.6EL Premium. This is a Canadian model never released in the US, but fully certified for US and California use (it is registered and smogged). While the car is extremely rare here, nearly all mechanical and most body parts are the same as a 1999 Honda Civic, so the car is cheap and easy to maintain.

Located on the Monterey Peninsula

Factory features:
Leather seats
Heated seats
Leather arm rest and door panels
Sunroof
Foldable and heated side mirrors
CD player (1 year young)
1.6L VTEC engine
Valve Cover has "1.6 VTEC" molded into it
Cruise control
Anti-lock brakes
Kmh speedometer with orange lighting (Mph in small numbers)
Orange clock
5 speed manual transmission
Si spec sway bars (from the factory)
Remote trunk release
Daytime Running Lights

Current modifications include:

Exterior
JDM headlights (Honda Domani)
JDM bumper lights
-all lights have an expensive clear bra
JDM fenders
Smoked amber sidemarkers
Tint on side windows and rear windshield

Interior
Neuspeed short shifter
Momo shift ****
Name brand alarm with remote start

Suspension, brakes, wheels
Tein Type Flex coilovers (16 way adjustable and EDFC compatible)
Skunk 2 Pro Series adjustable upper control arms
KVR slotted brake rotors
Hawk HPS pads
Goodridge stainless steel brake lines
New Motul racing fluid
Falken 17" wheels with new BF Goodrich tires


As you can see, all modifications to this car are of high quality. Any replacement parts were original Honda or Acura. Oil changed every 3,000 miles. Used solely high quality gas (Shell, Chevron, etc). Have all maintenance records. There are 177K miles on the car.

I will sell the car for $6000 with all the parts above; or for $5000 without the following mods:
JDM headlights (will replace with Canadian Domestic Market lights)
JDM bumper light (will replace with CDM)
Tein coilover and Skunk 2 UCA's (will replace with stock)


























Only mod done to engine was a drop-in Fram airfilter. Not even an intake.

It's a great daily. It gets 30 mpg average no problem, and even more if I take it easy. Official EPA ratings are 35/43 I think.

Will the camera be included with the car?

You must have a very nice one given the pictures. I love the interior shots.

177,000 miles.

You'll have to ask my friend about the camera. I'm sure he wouldn't mind
