Hey guys,
I'm new to this Honda tech page. I've been a member of other forums in the past but nothing with cars. Well either way this past weekend I picked up a bone stock 2000 FBP Em1 from a 84 year old lady. That means I am the second owner. The car has a little bit higher miles *202,xxx* but runs like a champ. Most of the miles were highways miles. The body isn't perfect but I can't ask for much more after 200 k miles. The car is up in Maine so we have rust everywhere, this makes it extremely hard to find a clean Honda. I was lucky enough to find one that was kept in a garage for the past 17 years. Not a spec of rust on the rear quarters or under body. Every vin on the car matches and its never been in an accident. The interior is also very nice. The lady was a non-smoker so no burns or smells. Still has the OEM radio.
I am a full time student so I don't have tons of money to throw at this car but i do plan on a full OEM spec rebuild of the engine as the top end has a slight tic nothing major. I just wanted to start this thread so I can track what i do to the car over time. Stay tuned for more.

I will be posting a few pictures later today.

 

Congrats.

Pics of old lady.

 

A few pictures of the car. I hope to get some better one soon.

 

Nice.

Where are the pics of the old lady, though? Stop teasing.

 

Oh you meant the actual old lady not the car. LMAO I don't have any pictures of her. Her son posted it on craigslist for her so I only briefly got to talk to her. Sorry to disappoint

 

This some bullshit. reported.

 

What do you mean?

 

Haven't seen a clean un touched em1 in a while. Nice find!

 

I know they very rarely pop up here in new England. If they do they have a salvage or rebuilt title. I got really lucky with this one. Also considering the price I paid.

 

You mind telling us how much you paid? That clean I see them go 5500-6000

 

I paid 2500. No joke. I got it for a steal.

 

Wow dude now that's a come up!

 

Ya i know. The car wasnt even up for a day when i bought it. I got really lucky with this one. Cant wait to go through the car and refresh it to its former glory.

 

polish the wheels, asap. cut/buff paint. success!
