With the addition of the ITR, I'm looking to free up some space and sell my '91 DX hatchback. I purchased the car up in Chicago and drove it to FL without issue. It's quick, reliable, and street driven... it also finished 2nd at the SCCA Dixie National Tour. This is an R-comp class and we were running street tires. Definitely a testament to what the car can do!

For anyone thinking "Chicago" and "EF" = Rusty Shitbox, let me be clear... this isn't a rusty car. There's a little surface rust from the fender roll but it's not rusty. The only thing I found on it was some surface rust lurking under the windshield trim (likely from the windshield replacement). I scraped and sanded it all out, cleaned it up, put on rust inhibitor, painted, and put the trim back on. I ******* HATE rust. Hate. I bought this car because it hadn't been up north for very long and was only driven for one winter on the street.

Engine:

• '90-91 JDM Civic/CRX SiR B-16A (purchased from HMO)
• JDM SiR airbox & intake tube w/ K&N filter element
• custom-built aluminum radiator
• Hasport AC bracket (uses D-series compressor)
• DC 4-2-1 header
• Test Pipe
• Thermal Exhaust

Tranny:

• Y1 with factory 4.26:1 LSD (Civic/CRX SiR)
• new (OEM) synchros and seals
• Acura LS 5th gear. (2750 rpm at 55 mph in fifth)
• 8# Exedy steel flywheel
• Hasport shift linkage
• B & M stainless short-throw shifter
• New Raxles installed within the last month
• New Honda Clutch Cable late 2013

Suspension:

• Koni Race shocks 850/650 currently (I have some different rates available)
• Stock DX front sway bar
• Kingpin Radius Rod Bearings
• New front LCA's (old bushings were almost shot)
• Front wheel spacers to fit the 15x9's
• Extended length ARP wheels studs (front)
• ASR rear subframe brace
• ASR 24mm solid rear bar with heim end links (This is the EG/DC style bar & roughly equal to the ASR 0.250 wall hollow bar for the EF)

Wheels/Tires:

• Set of 15x7.5 TRM wheels with 205/50 BFG Rivals. These have maybe 400 street miles. 2 of them have 4 runs and the other 2 have 16 runs (mostly at the back of the car). They look damn near new.
• Set of 15x9 TRM wheels with 225/45 BFG Rivals. These have more like ~150 miles on them. They were on the front of the car for the Dixie Tour (12 runs+6 practice) and that's it. They're in great shape too.

Brakes:

• Front: EX spindles w/ "big" brakes
• Rear: Rear disc conversion via Scarebird caliper brackets
• 15/16" EX master cylinder (new)
• Integra proportioning valve

Interior/other:

• Si cluster w/ tach
• Factory radio block-off plate
• Gorgeous Si front and rear seats
• Recent windshield replacement
• Cool LED headlights... EF lights that actually work!

The original FS ad quoted the prior FS ad... I was told that the car was built by an older gentleman at the tail end of 2012. Given the condition of the car, documentation that came with it, and parts I've got no reason not to believe the story. I was told that the guy who did most of the heavy lifting on the car did the following maintenance items on the car:

• New Integra throttle cable
• Timing Belt
• OE Water Pump
• Valve Cover Gasket
• Cam Seals
• Rear Main
• Oil Pan Gasket
• 4 rebuilt/flow tested injectors
• NGK plugs/wires
• OE Cap/rotor
• Exedy clutch
• New pilot and throwout bearing
• New wheel bearings
• New front UCA's
• New front/rear calipers
• New Pads/Rotors
• New parking brake cable

Overall, it's in really good shape given the age and typical condition of these cars nowadays. It's not "museum perfect" but it's way better/nicer than 95% of these cars on the road. The only significant "bad" thing about the car is that the AC needs a recharge. I bought it in the winter and still haven't "needed" the AC so it's not been an issue. Odds are that I'll get it out to the local automotive AC place in the coming weeks to get it charged up.


Asking price is $7,300 OBO.

 

I think you mean $3,300?

 

7300? good luck.

 

:sigh:

Look, this isn't a kludged up shitbox like all the other $3k swapped cars out there. It's got good condition OE paint, a clean interior, well thought out swap, a ton of maintenance done to it, etc. I can (and may have to) part it out to get my $$ out of it... and that's ok.

 

Looks like a fun car !

Sorry, but people are going to beat you up on the price around here

 

Understood... and I almost didn't bother to list it here. lol

 

Vouch for the car.
Very fast (in the right hands) :p

 

 

I can vouch for this car as well, extremely fast and reliable, if i had the cash I would pick it up in a heart beat!

And no Christian, Im not selling mine to get yours..:D

 

Thanks everyone! Yeah, the car itself is an absolute blast to drive... fast, direct, etc.

Here's some semi-recent autoX video/runs for added color:

Nice car but not worth $2k more than a mint EM1

 

i got 8gz to spend but i wouldnt on this car. im looking for a newer year vehicle. it is very nice car but if you want 7300 you got to part it out. sorry man.

 

rough crowd

 

I am never on this site anymore because I don't drive kids cars, I buy cars for grown ups, but I lurk every now and then for honda motorcycle stuff. However, I specifically had to sign in to write.....LOL! I mean fcukin LOL at that price

 

Funny part of this is hes prob "loling" at the comments because its been sold. Honda-Tech was definitely not the right market for this car, but there are buyers who see value in it out there.

 

Got a PM from someone asking about the car so I was reminded that I had this FS thread... yep, car is sold and gone. It was sold to a friend in the racing community in the NE.

 

I appreciate a quality build but did someone really pay $7300 for this car? I probably would have given you a solid $4k if I was interested.

 

And for $4k I'd have given you a free punch in the crotch.

No, I didn't get $7,300 but I kept quite a few of the parts off the car and resold them... rear brace/bar, race shocks, sphericals, steering wheel/QD, spare wheels/tires, etc. The upshot is that the new owner got a VERY nice EF with a super-clean swap and I've ended up getting about what I was asking.

PS
I can't reiterate what good of condition this thing is/was in... the new owner came down from DC to pick it up. His first words on looking inside were "Holy **** I haven't seen one this clean since they were new!".

Edit:
I think many of you underestimate what truly clean examples of these cars will go for (EF's and ITR's in particular). The trick is that it needs to be clean and well put together vs. some cobbled together POS.

 

Haha good for you Christian, People just don't get it.

 

Agreed. There's a pretty finite supply of "not trashed" cars out there... there are certainly more folks ready, willing, and able to buy than there is available inventory.
