93 CX Hatch - Chicago No Rust!
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...85719
1993 Honda Civic CX
North Carolina Car moved to Chicago
I bought this car about 3 years ago from a dealer in Raleigh North Carolina with approximately 112,000 on the chassis. They don't get much snow down there, and it's my understanding that they use sand on the roads rather than salt. I've had it Chicago since I bought it, but it has NEVER been driven in a Chicago winter, has NEVER been driven on wet salty streets, and has only been in the rain a couple of times in that time. This was strictly a project car that I put together for autocross, not my daily driver. I drove the car less than 300 miles per year since purchase and those miles were only to and from events. There is NO visible rust on this car. Not even in that spot by the back wheels where Civics always seem to rust first. Overall the car is in very nice shape and is very clean.
The engine is a JDM B16A that came from a Japanese Integra. The engine was from an importer that stated that the engine had 30,000 to 35,000 miles on it. I can't be positive how accurate he was, but the engine is smooth and strong. There are no strange noises or vibrations. I ran it totally stock without so much as a cam or an intake. I never ran nitrous or forced induction of any kind on this engine. The car easily passed emissions testing because of the clean running Honda engine. I did have some some trouble at first, but only because I tried taking the test with a P28 ECU. I was concerned about using the JDM P30 ECU, but it turned out to be the best for the test.
I've never had the car on a drag strip, but it has done well on autocross tracks for me. The suspension is set so that the car go from under-steer to over-steer with adjustments in the shocks and tire pressures. While experimenting with settings last summer, I went too far and ended in a spin at an event. Several actually. A spin wasn't the desired result, but some small changes made the car rotate very nicely for the remainder of the event.
I started with the suspension and I was going to build an engine this year, but circumstances have changed and now she has to go. E-mail with any questions.

Nice car
I was told it was from a teg. EG or teg doesn't matter anyway. It's the second gen engine with a hydraulic tranny. It dropped in like it was the original CX engine. No adapters or fixes to mak it work.

NICE car man, but 6500 seems a bit high for b16 swapped hatch. o well, free bump!
edit-noticed all the extra stuff, i.e. 5 lug so i guess its not a bad price
