Price:[B] SALE PENDING!!!
Description: New price...$4000. need this sold in the next 2 weeks!
$4500, at this price ill leave every part on the car and throw in the extra set of wheels and tires. I think thats a really good deal. So please don't offer me $3k. I can take some parts off for a lil lower price.
THERE IS NOT ONE TINY PIECE OF RUST ON THE CAR!!!
I WILL NOT PART OUT THE CAR!
HERE IS A VIDEO I TOOK OF ONE OF MY AUTO X RUNS THIS PAST WEEKEND 4-10-11
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yU10sslg3XE
NEW: painted the bumpers. they came out good.
NEW: painted fenders, doors, rear quarters, and rear tailgate.
NEW: installed brand new skunk2 sport shocks. car rides good, pretty stiff but no bouncy at all.
5-20-11: Painted the roof and hood. no more rock chips on the hood and no more dents in the roof. came out awesome!
4-15-11: Got rid of the small amount of rust that was starting to form under the gas cap.
4-7-11: INSTALLED BRAND NEW UPPER CONTROL ARMS WITH NEW BALL JOINTS.
4-5-11: JUST INSTALLED USED BUT GOOD SHOCKS UP FRONT. THE CAR RIDES ALOT SMOOTHER AND NO MORE TORQUE HOP.
3-11-11 I just got back from a drive up to vermont again. over 1000 miles and the civic ran like a champ! no problems at all.
2-26-11: painted the wheels flat black. also took new pics, see below. i changed the oil last week,
2-14-11: I DROVE THIS CIVIC FROM PHILLY TO VERMONT 3 WEEKS AGO AND IT GAVE ME NO PROBLEMS AT ALL!!!
I BOUGHT ALL NEW BUSHINGS AND STERRING RACK BUSHINGS AND HAD THEM INSTALLED A FEW DAYS AGO, 2-23-11. THE CAR DRIVES MORE SMOOTHER AND THE STEERING WHEEL HAS NO MORE LOOSE PLAY WHEN YOU TURN THE WHEEL. I ONLY BOUGHT OEM HONDA BUSHINS. SPENT $100 ON THE BUSHINGS ALONE!
2-17-11: I RAISED THE CAR UP ABOUT AN INCH ALL AROUND
WILL NOT TRADE FOR ANOTHER CAR!!!!! STOP ASKING ME!
Selling my swapped white 92 civic hatch VX. It weights right around 2,000 pounds!! very light car. Im moving this fall so this will have to either be sold or stored. I have the clean title in my hand.
The car runs strong. I drive the car everyday, its a great daily driver. Sips gas, 32 mpg city and easy 40mpg highway if you do 60mph. Pulls hard in vtec. Does not burn any oil. It has never stalled out or gave me any problems. Shifts like butter! It has never grinded ripping through the gears at redline. Its is not a loud car, only in veeetech. A friend of mine did the swap which who i bought it off of. He sold it to me for $4000. He had to sell it cause he had too many cars. He also bought rust free quarter panels and had them profesionally replaced so there is no rust in the wheel wells. I have a box of spare parts that will come with the car at no extra price. I have an extra main relay, new fuel pump, type r shifter, alt belt, and some other misc parts.
The Good:
-runs strong
-shifts perfect even at high revs
-pretty much rust free
-burns no oil
-wont need anything replaced for a long time
-PA inspection and emission good til end of July 2011
The Bad:
-250k miles on the body but rides fine. JUST REPLACED ALL THE BUSHINGS, BALL JOINTS, AND SHOCKS
-the transmission drips a lil bit of oil.
-leaks some oil but i hope its from the oil filter cause it didnt leak a few months ago.
