All in great shape. Front bumper just has speed holes in it. Otherwise fantastic. Might get a used front bumper soon from a fellow member here

Oil burning seems to have stopped. I ran some mystery oil through the car and its not smoking at all! Will check oil consumption and keep an eye on it...

seems the OBD1 ECU was causing it to smoke.... smelled like it was running really rich during VTEC. OBD2 (P73-003) ECU works great. This car really deserves a real tune though. Put it outside my parents house with a for sale sign on it. I'm impressed no one on here has inquired about it lol

i have a b18c gsr with itr cams ls trans running the p73-003 ecu as well
its a good ecu but agree'd a tune would be better
