Default FS/TW 1995 Dx coupe with JDM GSR

I bought this car last year from ht member EJ2GSR aka Clyde Lewis after my midori got stolen from six flags. I was eager to pick this car up seeing as it had a decent mod list and appeared to be somewhat clean and in need of little love. Needless to say after the car was delivered and him and his girlfriend drove off, I've had nothing but problems with this car and have replaced almost every part short of the drivetrain. I have dumped more time and money into this car than I care to admit and recently heard a noise coming from the transmission today and its time to throw in the towel. Honestly it could be a bearing, or a clutch or the whole transmission, I don't have the patience to even look at this car anymore.

The mods are as follows
+Running gear+
-JDM GSR longblock with non lsd B16 tranny, Exedy stage 2 clutch
-Ported gsr head
-Omnipower full Ti-valvetrain with high comp valves
-Semi shaved VC
-Tucked harness by NHswaps13203(rip buddy)
-Battery relocated to trunk
-Password CF whale ***** intake
-SK2 pro series intake manifold
-RMF drag header, not fake, authentic
-Apexi noire catback exhaust
-Test pipe with high flow cat, flex and bung for wide band O2 fabricated by 666 in CT
+Stance+
-KYB AGX shocks
-H&R race springs
+Exterior+
-CF Hood
-JDM EG6 headlights with city lights wired
-Amber corners
-EK sideskirts
+Interior+
-F1 spec fiberglass bucket
-92-93 dashboard, no passenger air bag
-Momo steering wheel
-No carpet :/
-JDM armrest
-JDM optional audio console
+Audio+
-Alpine head unit with ipod hookup routed to the JDM center console
-Alpine type r's in front
-Alpine type s 6x9's retrofitted in the rear, doesn't look haggard at all, proud of myself on this one

WHEELS WILL NOT COME ON THE CAR, THEY ARE RARE ENOUGH AS IT IS, I'M NOT GETTING RID OF THEM, THEY WILL GO ON MY GIRLFRIENDS CIVIC, DO NOT ASK, THERES NOT ANY AMOUNT OF MONEY YOU COULD GIVE ME THAT WILL MAKE ME CHANGE MY MIND

Additional info: After the car caught fire, I spent hours taking the car apart in the dead of winter, sourcing a dashboard, cluster, and having the wire harness done, the only issues with the car right now is a CEL for an O2 sensor, the fact that it needs some bodywork/paint, and the transmission whining.

There is NO rust on the quarters of this car, if the bodywork getting done is a huge issue to a potential buyer, I can by all means perform it, and have it painted with a standox waterborne system, but the price WILL go up. The soundsystem screams for having no sub or amps wired up and once the mechanical issues are fixed, this car would be a beast with cams and a tune, I just cant do it anymore, I am working 50+ hours a week, working on my residence and trying to purchase a house, I'm simply burnt out.

My asking price is $5000 OBO, I have put about that into the car alone since I bought it, so either way I am taking a HUGE loss, and if I get my asking price, I'll be a super nice guy and throw in...
-Front and rear disc brake conversion with russels braided lines(earls doesn't exist anymore, he passed away and now its russels, thats what I was told)
-Bare JDM B16 head, build it, turn it into a paperweight or an anchor for your boat
-Panasport 15" wheels, they need love, dont need them
-Various HID headlights, I believe I have 4 or 5 of them, they are OEM lexus/audi, sell em on ebay for 300 or more a pop, make your money back
-Any other honda stuff I have in my garage

Many will vouch for just how much of a piece of garbage this car WAS and how much crap I've gone through to fix it. I'll try to get some pics up in the future, its a sore subject for me right now, so I'd like to take a break from thinking about it.

the car is sitting up at my shop, i want to take good pictures so nothing is hidden, i want any potential buyer to know what they are in store for, the car was already painted once, but whoever did the spray did a TERRIBLE prep job so the clear is fading out pretty badly

bump for james. this car has a lot of potential. too bad you had to put so much time and money into what you had been told was a turn key car. gotta love shady people man, but sometimes thats how the cookie crumbles. im sure youll be back to the game sometime soon...

pretty positive its not the engine, the noise happened after changing the trans fluid, filled it up with pennzoil and started whining, after the holidays when i have more time/money, i might try to fix it so its all good, hopefully thatll attract a potential buyer
