I’ll be getting a new car next week and rather than drive 300 miles to a dealer to find out that they’re going to screw me on a trade in, i’d rather just sell it locally before i go. I still need to clean it up and take some pics, hopefully i can get some up tonight or tomorrow. That being said, I’m willing to let it go for 8k, 700 less than fair condition kbb.

02 Type S, Nighthawk Black Pearl  
107,xxx miles  
6 speed  
Black leather interior

Mods:  
Comptech Icebox intake  
OBX Version 2 race header (comptech knockoff)  
Koni adjustable shocks/struts  
Eibach sport springs  
Enjo Motor mounts

I still have the original intake, header with cat, and shocks/struts that i’ll include

Condition:  
The car needs two front tires (still on snows), has two new Falken Ziex 912 tires on the back.  
Some dents on the doors (could probably pop most of them out) and usual dings.  
Brake pads/rotors are probably necessary to pass inspection as well.  
Drivers side door lock actuator needs to be replaced.  
The interior is in very good condition considering the miles, seats have been regularly treated with leather conditioner.  
Mechanically, the car runs great and the clutch still grabs hard

I should have pics up soon, i live in Allentown and the car is currently on the road if anyone wants to check it out. Email me if interested, [pct@buffalo.edu](mailto:pct@buffalo.edu)

Its not a bad car Ive seen it in person… worth what hes asking for sure as we all know honda’s hold there value vary well…  
a few options he missed:

Sunroof  
Cruise  
Bose 6 disk CD changer (currently is a MP3 cd HU not sure if he plans to include)

a few things to consider  
Needs 2 tires… 17 are pricey  
stock clutch… w/107k

Thanks for the bump mike,

The original chain should be fine, from everything I’ve read about K series motors, the chain isn’t on the Honda maintenance schedule and shouldn’t need to be replaced unless you’re running aftermarket cams or if it becomes noisy indicating excess slack.

I think the stock bose head unit might have a cd stuck in it. If that’s the case, i’ll throw in the Alpine MP3 deck that’s currently in the car.

ahh i just moved into a new apartment and don’t have internet yet, so i just sketchily sat in the hall leaching wireless to get these up. Try the flickr link, i didn’t have time to resize them right now so they were too big to upload directly

See but some people like me didnt know that…

But i did stop by today again and check it out. (sorry about messing your dinner) car looks good needs a bath but looks good… ran smooth…

the after-market motor mounts are, like most, annoying… probibly be better if it wasn’t idling…

Yeaaah it’s dirty as hell, i just wanted to get some pics up and didn’t feel like washing it in the middle of the street. The mounts can be annoying at idle when the car isn’t warmed up yet (since it idles higher when it’s cool). I tried to get a couple shots of the dents, they didn’t really come out though…i can try again later today.
