3rd Owner – 1st owner pretty much had it its entire life

100% stock

Short Summary:
• Meticulously maintained 100% Stock Honda Civic
• Engine/Transmission are 100% FLAWLESS; engine burns ZERO oil
• Car is in fantastic shape for being almost 20 years old
• Gets great gas mileage and is fun to drive

Exterior Condition:
Very clean with some minor scratches and minor paint fade on the roof

Interior Condition:
In excellent shape with very minor wear – no rips/stains/etc

Maintenance History:
I purchased the car in 2012 – the engine burns no oil and there are no transmission issues but I went ahead and replaced pretty much ALL wear items since this needed to be a reliable daily driver for me.
Oil is changed annually (call it every ~1,500 miles) with synthetic Castrol Syntec and Mobil 1 filter

In total, I put about $5,000 of OEM and aftermarket parts into this car back in early 2013. I have all the receipts if anyone would like to see them. Basically, anything that could wear out, I tried to replace.

OEM Parts (purchased from Honda dealer):
• New hoses (all air/water hoses replaced), mixing valve and new OEM radiator
• New Timing belt, tensioner set, water pump, thermostat
• New main seal, oil pump, and all gaskets (including oil pan gasket)
• New valve cover gasket and grommets
• New distributor o-ring, rotor, cap, and new wires
• New Fuel return hose, new fuel filter and washer, new gas cap
• New OEM brake pads and OEM brake lines and fresh brake fluid
• New Air Filter
• New Battery and new battery cables
• New OEM key
• New taillight gaskets
• New hatch gasket
• New A/C Pulley and belt
• New bottom engine mounts
• New floor mats
• 2012-13 Honda FIT rims with OEM tires (tons of tread left, tires probably have about 10k total mileage on them) – rims do have minor curbing

Non-OEM Parts:
• NGK spark plugs and NTK O2 sensors
• New exedy clutch kit and new OEM Replacement flywheel
• New Pacesetter 755002 OEM Replacement Exhaust Manifold (best OEM replacement on the market imho)
• New Axles
• New rotors
• New JVC KD-X80BT bluetooth headunit
• JL Audio C3-600 front speakers
• CDT HD-690CFX Coax rear speakers
• Rockford Fosgate 400a4 amp (old school, Made in USA, extremely powerful)
• Fully soundeaded with $700 sounddeading solution from sowndeadenershowdown.com (CDT Tiles, Closed Cell Foam, Mass Loaded Vinyl, Thinsulate Acustic Insulation)
• As a result, car is quiet and has no rattles

Lots of other stuff that I probably forgot

Do you happen to know which brand catalytic converter that is?

irev210

I purchased it from amazon, it's pacesetter (it's listed in my description)

It's made in the USA, seemed to be the best OEM replacement on the market now that the OEM has been discontinued.

Thanks! I'll look into it, I need a new one myself, and I noticed that one looks like it's made out of steel and not cast iron...

What a awesome deal, I bet it hurts a little to let it go.
I would take this off your hands were it in FL.
