Default 99 Si b18c type R swap, 5 lug, recaros, etc.

This is one of the cleanest civics you will see in person. It was strictly a show car/garage queen until recently when I bought it from Ben Frost earlier this year. Some of you may know it, some may not. Almost every piece of this car has been renewed or replaced. It has a custom paint job, black with blue pearl. It's barely visible until the sun hits it and then it looks like a bass boat. I'll try to cover the mods list as well as I can but I didn't do any of the work except I have replaced both axles recently and tinted the windows. Everything else was done by Ben.

Exterior:
Complete custom paint job. Painted without glass in the car. Nothing was taped off. It looks like a factory job.
HIDs
ITR wheels
Every stock 10mm on the car has been replaced with polished allen bolts
New rubber seals, fender liners, mudflaps, etc

Interior:
Alpine double din head unit with ipod/usb connector and remote
Alpine speakers all around
Red EK9 Recaros
spotless carpets and mats
Nardi Wheel with quick release

Engine:
Stock b18c Type R Swap on stock ecu the swap has less than 50XXX on it. Less than 10,xxx since the timing belt, water pump and tensioner were replaced.
Car has 13x,xxx miles
Shaved/tucked engine bay
Hasport motor mounts
Relocated new battery from Acura MDX to trunk
Type R shift linkage and shifter with prothane bushings
Exedy clutch
00 type R header
Full 2" exhaust with Thermal muffler

Suspension:
Comptech LCAs
Comptech Lower rear brace
Skunk 2 pro coilovers
New bushings everywhere
5 lug conversion with complete ITR brake changeover

I'm sure I'm forgetting a zillion small things. The car is very clean and it drives great. I always compare it to an S2k. That's how it feels to me. It handles like its on rails, it's about as fast as an s2k and it brakes like one, it's just fwd, unfortunately. I'm only selling it because I don't really need it. That being said, I'm in no hurry to get rid of it and I'm not going to give it away. My asking price is $8,000 obo. You can text me @ (901)258-9484

Also, photo credit to Tim Acang for the one photo in the sunlight showing the pearl paint.

If the price is too high, make an offer. All I can do is say no.

Here's a new walk around video I made for one of the guys thinking about buying the car. Warning, the car is filthy from pollen.

I'd part it out, you can get over 8K if you're smart and willing to waste the time.

Nice car, GLWS.

The title is clean. I can give you a vin if you're interested.

"Alcantara.... not Alacantra.. lol"

I don't work in the textile industry and I'm not a fabric and fashion specialist. Sorry if I offended your delicate sensibilities.
