| Ok ladies and gents, the time has come. I would love to sell this thing as a whole, quickly. But I understand that I may get more cash from parting it. Anyways, this car has been my baby since 2001. It was a red automatic SI for most of it's life. It is now a blue manual jdm vtec.
I have always taken great care of this car. Oil changes, maintenance, everything. Truly I have no modded this car that much. The engine of course (h23 was perfectly fine when I did the swap btw), header, exhaust, some suspension. But there is not a LOT of aftermarket mods.
The downside is the exterior. I painted this car myself, with help (demitrix, justinwebb), and it came out DECENTLY. Things happened, I've been hit lightly several times since. And the rust has come back.
Anyways, this car would be PERFECT for someone who can 1. weld or 2. paint or someone who has good connections for those things. Because other then the rust/paint, a rip in the leather on one seat, this car is about perfect.
Anyways, here is what I wrote up. Write me if you are interested in it as a whole, or for parts. I'd like to hear what people want.
I have a price in my head, not near what it's worth to me, but I would rather just entertain offers. You can get my on AIM @ oldboymd, email @ maharajamd@gmail.com, or just PM me here. Please do not throw out offers as a reply. But if you have a question that would be beneficial for everyone to know, go ahead and ask it as a reply.
And although I'd like it gone fast, I'm in no rush. Ok, here's the list.

The Good
- This car is pretty much mechanically sound. It pulls strong, idles well, VTEC is hard and loud.
- I repainted 2 years ago. Went from Milano Red to Super Marine Blue. Used the best Dupont paint availave. Primer, base, clear.
- Both Heat and AC work great.
- The door fabric, speaker covers, misc has been repainted to stock color and gloss. Looks mint.
- Really the interior is perfect. Buy new carpet ($100) and it would look brand new.
The Bad
- The rust and the paint. This car was originally Milano Red. Two summers ago when the rust became bad I decided to fix it and repaint it myself. I did not take it to have it welded, I cut out till clean metal was visiable, then cleaned, sealed, and bondoed over. This was my first auto paint job. I'd say it came out at best a C job. In my mind all it really needs is a professional buffing.
- I have been hit three times since. One a car rear ended me while going less then 5 mph. All it left was two screw marks from their license plate. The same person also backed into me on the side. There is a fairly decent sized dent on the drivers door (can be pulled out I'm sure). I was also scraped on the rear right bumper. No dents or cracks, just paint is screwed up.
- When I painted I tried to shave the trunk and the antenna. Both have cracked.
- When cutting the clearcoat while painting I burned through in several areas, basically going thru the clear to blue and or primer.
- The leather is flawless EXCEPT for the drivers seat. It is ripped on the butt area, and the side holder things. Both are ripped on 1 section of leather, should be easy for an interior reupholster to fix.

| I would much rather see this go to someone I know, or someone who will take
care of it / appreciate the little things that have been done.
Kristen seems to think $3000 is fair, sounds right to me too. I have dropped a shit ton in maintenance in the last year. |

| ^ Cool. Do you guys like tennis? Maybe we can have a tennis match night
Liz, the interior is yours... I won't even try and sell it to someone else. Hell you can have it now and pay me back later. Like $50 bucks or something...not much. Rather see it put to good use and more importantly out of my moms house. In that, the entire interior is at my moms house in Lancaster.... It would have to be picked up and or you pull your interior out, throw away, and then drive down and do the swap right there. I'll help, just let me know when.
Anyways, couldn't find my title anywhere. So that puts me going and getting the new car back till Tuesday! GAWD! |
