Bad
Radio was stolen -
FAWK THIEVES
Front driver's side fender was hit and the replacement is off color. Trying to find one closer to the rest of the car.
Was rear ended about 2 months ago so the rear bumper doesn't line up just perfect on the driver's side.
I don't know the EXACT mileage because I swapped over to the 99-00 cluster. Right now the cluster reads 203xxx miles but it was over the car's actual mileage by about 30k-35k miles. So based on that average I will say it's around 170k miles.
I have an authentic Spoon carbon fiber hood that will some with the car if you want it, but the clear coat is really bad so the hood is faded. A little work and it could be back to it's original luster.
Also I have a brand new SIR front bumper with moldings than will come with the car. I was gonna get the rear as well but didn't get around to it.
Again car is and has been a daily driver for the past 5 years so it does have it's typical chips and dings here and there but nothing major.
On to the pics





You can call, text, or pm me. If you call and I don't answer it is probably because I am at work. Just leave a message and I will get back to you as soon as I can. Don't be afraid to throw me an offer. Everything's negotiable. Low balling welcome.

all offers welcome. I've found a BMW I want to get so not really looking for trades but if you want to shoot me an offer with what you have, you never know, it might change my mind. I have 2 kids so mainly interested in sedans, but if you have a nice coupe of some sort, it never hurts to ask. doesn't have to be a Honda either but prefer imports.
again, nothing at all wrong with this car, just looking for something new and different.

As promised..........more pics. Also, it still has 400 miles left before the next oil change but I plan on going ahead and doing it tomorrow so it will be one less thing the new buyer has to worry about.
This shot is just showing the car going down the road, everything working on the gauge cluster and no CEL's.

Some interior shots

No rips or tears on the side bolsters



Damn thieves got my radio but at least the factory connectors are still there.



Kids were in the back seat so no pics of it. Will try and get one tomorrow.
Rear subframe brace

Skunk2 Shocks and a shot of the rear sway bar kinda

Might be unimportant but this is just a couple of pics showing the power windows and sunroof all work.









Under the hood

And like I said this is a daily so it does have its nicks here and there.



And a better shot of the rear bumper

Fresh oil change. This is probably excessive and some of you might not care but this is what I do every time I change my oil.
First I get my car to operating temperature.

I always use OEM Honda filters and replace the crush washer.

For anyone who cares it has a magnetic drain plug. Anyways, old crush washer coming off.

New crush washer going on.

And like I said I always use OEM filters. Old filter next to new.

I NEVER reuse old oil to lube to gasket. I fill the filter with fresh oil and use it to lube the gasket.

Then I fill the engine and always use a funnel as to not spill excess oil onto the engine and to get a true amount of how much oil I put in. And as for the drops on the valve cover there, well we can't be perfect all the time, lol. It wasn't much spillage.
I try to get as close to 3.8qts as I can by eyeballing it. It is a 5qt container. There is aprox. 1.2qts left. For those who can't do math : 5qts total - 1.2qts left = 3.8qts used.

Anyways, like I said this is probably excessive but I try to make sure my car is well maintained.

Title says TW which means testing the water. And if you reread the first sentence is says I might sell if the OFFER is right. Meaning that I am seeing what people will offer me for it and if the offer is good then I will accept. But I don't have to sell the car by any means so if I keep it, that's cool with me too. So all that being said, if you want to shoot me an offer on what you think is a fair price, go ahead. If I think it's fair, we have a deal, if not, we can negotiate from there.
Bump for offers. Still driving it every day with no problems.
