This is my baby; I’ve had it for about 3 years and was COMPLETELY stock when I bought it. I have done ALL the work on it and basically know the car inside and out (ask any/all questions you may have and I’m sure I can answer them for you). The body is very clean and straight for a 15 year old car; the only body filler on the car is on the passenger side quarter panel (fixed a dent from a minor accident). I never wet-sanded the car after paint; so there are a few runs and a bit or orange peel, but these could easily be removed. The car has only been through 3 winters (Arizona car), but there is some rust showing at the edge of the trunk lid (common on del Sols) and in the drivers door jamb NO HONDA QUARTER PANEL ROT! Someone resently dented and scratched the roof, but the dent could be popped out and rubbing compound should take the scratches out…
I built/installed the homemade turbo kit about 2 years ago and have put ~20k miles on the car since then (the seals in my original 14b turbo blew out; so I built a small 16g turbo with new bearings/seals and had it balanced at Michigan Turbo).
The car rides pretty rough on the cheap ractive coil-over sleeves and stock shocks. I bought Koni yellows, but haven’t gotten around to installing them. I was waiting to buy the Koni specific Ground Control coil-overs (come with Eibach springs for ~$350 brand new).
The good:
Runs great
Pretty quick (ran 14.9 @ 97mph, coming off the line slow on the old engine running 9psi)
Gets 28mpgs with some spirited driving, easily 30+ on the highway
Car is a blast to drive
All it needs is a tune to be a 300whp car! I wanted to put the 3 angle head on before i turned up the boost. I was waiting for the engine to be broken in. It has already made a full trip from MI to NJ and back without any problems. I have the boost controller for it so the next step would just be to swap on the head and tune to 20 psi. The LC1 would obviously need to be changed to do this properly, though the tune right now was done before the LC1 went bad.
The bad:
A few little spots of rust (barely noticeable, no quarterpanel rot!)
It has standard hose clamps that will need to be changed to T-bolts when the boost is turned up
LC-1 doesn’t work accurately.
Here is a link to a few pictures.
Disregard the location of the ad. I will be in Morris county,NJ on April 9th if anyone wants to come and see it.
