Well I built my last civic for pure power and felt pretty good with the results. Shortly after I parted her out and said I was done. Now she is just a lonely shell sitting off to the side, until yesterday. After searching for a good number of days and finding cars that were just out of my reach, I found this.

Sitting in a used car lot just outside Dallas, I found this Milano Red 99' Civic Ex in mint condition with no modifications done what so ever(except a radio). For now shes an automatic but I have a complete manual swap standing by for the day that the tranny says no more!

By the way the shell in back ground is ready to go to a new home for $200 obo ! Title in hand. As for now Im going to stick with the basic fluid swap along with plugs and so forth.

The car looks pretty clean. It has been repainted, and the lower grill area should be made to go back to black. Did you pay sticker price, or get it discounted?

I paid $4500 for my 2000 EM1 3 years ago

Deff discounted! Dropped over 500 off and I brought the repaint up to them immediately. Noticed the front bumper and the over spray on the weather stripping. But for a DD cant go wrong. Trying to track down some new interior parts to get that newer car feel! LOL Kick my own butt for the parts that I sold since I could use at least half of them right now, but thats the way it goes. Most likely in the near future I'm going to track down or just buy a new front bumper (notice the crack) and get everything repainted. P;us who ever did paint the car didn't even install all of the clips for the front or rear end but luckily I have a box of brand new OEM Honda clips and screws sitting at the house
