I'm putting up my beloved car for sale. After transforming it from a 40+MPG daily to a decently clean, quick ride that gets around 30 MPG, I no longer have any time to enjoy it with grad school. Also, tuition isn't cheap and I'd rather sell my toys than take out huge loans.

NEW PRICE! $5,000 cash

I have several sets of OEM wheels (EM1, CRX Si swirlies) to replace the Kosei K1's. Open to partial trades + cash, or a newer stock car, but mainly just looking to sell.

1997 Civic EX sedan with ABS, sunroof, PS/PW, factory keyless, cruise control. The EX model came with 10.3" brakes in the front, as opposed to the 9.5" found on the DX and LX models.

Motor setup:
-D16Y8
-Bored to 75.5mm
-Slightly decked block
-Resurfaced head
-New OEM oil pump
-All new seals
-Chamfered and micropolished crank
-Stock cam
-ARP headstuds torqued to 70 ftlbs
-ACL Duraglide rod bearings, clearance 0.0015"
-Clevite 77 main bearings
-75.5mm Vitara pistons
-Rings gapped to .020" top, .023"middle, and .025" oil control IIRC
-FJ spec custom length I-beam rods. Compression ratio is close to 9.0:1
-OEM headgasket
-Vented valve cover with baffled catch can

Turbo setup:
-Garrett T3/T04e 50 trim .50ar compressor and .63ar exhaust housings with V-band flange on the hot side. Good for around 450whp. No shaftplay or smoke.
-Fast-turbo SS oil lines (-3an feed and proper BSPT->NPT fitting for the block)
-Tial 38mm wastegate
-560cc Evo injectors
-GM 3 bar map sensor
-Cast manifold
-FrontlineFab TIG'd downpipe with Vibrant mandrel bends and V-band flanges.
-3" mandrel bent exhaust with oval turbo muffler
-Walboro 255HP fuel pump
-Tuned on Neptune by John Kerr at J-KTuning, made 310whp/240ftlbs at 17-18psi. Revs to 7500rpm, anti-lag set at 5500rpm
-If you look through my build thread, you may see that I had a few problems with head lift, but taking out more timing has solved the issue. It does not push coolant under boost at all.


Drivetrain:
-EX transmission
-Pennzoil Syncromesh fluid
-Grinds 3rd if you jam it into gear
-Competition Stage 4 clutch - 6 puck sprung, disc was replaced approximately 1.5k miles ago.
-No ISB noise
I have a Gearspeed rebuilt EX transmission as well, can include with car depending on purchase price.


Interior:
-S2000 AP1 steering wheel, air bags and horn work (have stock steering wheel as well)
-Black ball shift **** w/3" extension
-Mcdonald's checkerboard headliner
-No rips on seats
-No CEL's, all lights on cluster work
-All seatbelts intact
-Needs domelight cover and bulb
-MP3/aux-in CD player in the lower DIN
-Clarion rear 6x9 speakers
-I used a plug-n-play splice harness to power the stock headunit so the factory keyless entry works
-Glowshift wideband with Bosch 4.9 LSU sensor
-Prosport electronic peak and hold boost gauge
-All windows/sunroof, power locks work.


Exterior:
-Mini-Morimoto bixenon projector retrofit w/4500k bulbs and relay harness
-White LED license plate light
-AVS in-channel rain deflectors
-BYS/Airwalker replica front bumper (cracked and zip-tie'd on passenger side)
-Paintmatched mirrors and sideskirts
-Driverside fender needs to be replaced - the lower balljoint broke a few months ago and the tire deformed the fender. I have an OEM factory painted replacement depending on selling price.
-Some rust on both quarter panels. No holes but it's bubbling on both sides.
-Some door dings as to be expected on a 15 year old car.
-Original paint on body, never been repainted.


Suspension/wheels:
-Progress CS-II full coilovers with 350f/350r spring rates. Rides exceptionally well, not bouncy at all.
-ASR rear subframe brace
-GSR rear swaybar
-Kosei K1 16x7 +43mm
-Falken RT-615k tires with good tread. Very sticky tire.
-Gold Muteki extended lug nuts
-Driver side rear wheel bearing hums. It's under warranty from Advance Auto because I replaced it last year, but I no longer have the time to do this.


Maintenance:
New passenger front wheel bearing
New battery
New distributor cap/rotor
New spark plugs (NGK BKR-7E)
New driver side lower balljoint
New fuel filter
New driver and passenger axles

I have invested a lot more money into the car than my asking price...but that's how it always plays out. The car is pretty quick and will serve as a fun daily or a race car if one so desires. In fact, I took FTD at a local auto-x last year with this car, it handles like a dream.

On to the pics...
Slipstreams are gone, car is on Kosei K1's

Bump

 

How much for the Kosei wheels? Willing to sell without the tires as those tires wont be very good for the winter coming up.

 

I am willing to sell the wheels separately but taking tires off is not an option.

 

TTT

 

Beautiful car

Can you meet me halfway?

I'd love to check it out, Uniontown is about as far as I can go day to day, because I work a few jobs in the city or Pittsburgh.

 

I can meet in uniontown. However the car is getting a bigger intercooler/injectors right now, new bumper, and new paintjob. Might be a couple weeks before it's done. PM me if you're serious about meeting up

 

well that's awesome. Not going to need the car, my honda has been resuscitated.
