Complete listing of the car:
I am the second owner of the car and its been a southern car is whole life. I bought it back in April 1997. I’ve owned the car a long time and am sad to see it go. I will try to be as honest as possible with describing the car. I purchased the car with 184,000 miles on it from the original owner. The car came stock but with different 15” wheels and the Eibach springs and Tokico shocks. I have done the rest of the mods since then. The original owner explained the motor had ~100,000 miles on it when I bought the car because the timing belt broke about 5,000 before and the engine was replaced. The odometer shows 253,500 miles, but car currently has ~260,000 to 265,000 miles on it. The mileage is not exactly known because the speedometer cable broke probably 7 or 8 years ago. I continued to drive the car for a while. Initially I thought the gauge cluster had stopped so I purchased a used one and installed it. But come to find out, it was the speedometer cable. So while the car had the used cluster in it, I had to go for emissions. And the carfax will show the ~169,000 miles and then jumped back to the original cluster. I believe I have the carfax print out laying around somewhere for any interested parties.

The car is perfect for the right Honda enthusiast. It dyno’ed 115hp and 103ft-lbs to the wheels a few years back. The car is gutted. No rear seat or plastic, carpeting, audio equipment, or AC. It is sub 2200 lbs. The car was repainted 9 years ago but has since faded and looks aged, but I didn’t care because the car is not for show. The car was in a small front bumper to bumper collision about 8 years ago. A lady pulled out in front of me and it pushed in the hood a bit. I found a used black hood at a junkyard and just pulled the core support back as best I could, but the trim piece below the headlights is still a tad out of shape and can be seen in the pics.

I’m selling the car because I don’t have the time and money to put toward it. The car is a second fun car and it would be better off with someone else. I’ve only driven the car maybe ~1500-2000 miles in the past 4 years.
