1989 CRX Si - prepped for STS - new price (10/5/14)

[steverife]

Alright. I absolutely love the car and have struggled with selling it for a while, but I've decided that I want to run something more modern and with more horsepower for '15 and I need this car gone to be in the position to buy/build a car over the off-season. I've driven the car to events in Bristol and Atlanta this month. It'll easily hold 4 tires, jack, toolbox, air tank, cooler, helmet, water sprayer, and bags for personals for several days. It has gotten close to 40 mpg on the trips. The only thing I'd think about changing is the seat. It is also eligible for antique tags, so if it is your weekend toy, you only have to tag it once. Co-drives available to interested buyers.

Scott Sawyer built this car. He has done many Hondas and is a mechanic by trade. I purchased the car from him in July 2010.

an extra set of Koni SPSS3's w/GC sleeves

(4) 15x7 Enkei RPF-1's (+41 offset)
(4) 15x7.5 silver 6UL's (+43 offset, I think)
(2) 15x7.5 charcoal TRM wheels (+43, brand new, never used)
a set of steelies with decent street tires
a full sets of stock wheels (I think)
a set of full tread brand new 195/50/15 R1R's
a set of well worn shaved 195/50/15 R1R's

The bad:
- slight oil drip. You should check the oil when autocrossing these, so I never dealt with it.
- You will fall in love with it and might have to sell it at some point.

The car has a new starter installed in '13, fresh front hubs/bearings/etc, new clutch and rear main seal from '12, new tie rods from '11, rebuilt steering rack done in '11, new alternator in '11, and probably a bunch of stuff I can't remember. We replaced everything in the front suspension. The car got a new windshield in '10. It comes with a variety of spares.

There is probably lots more, but those are the basics. I'll do my best to answer any questions.

Asking $6000 with all my Honda stuff. Asking $5000 with your chose of 1 set of wheels, along with the steelies.

Yeah, time for STU Vette build!!

I hope someone local buys this car.

You would have a hard time building or buying anything this thecompetitive for that amount of money.

Bringing this back up...

I'm 100% committed to selling the car. $6000 with all my crap. $5000 with 1 set of wheels and the worn Toyos. If you have interest in any configuration, we can talk.

[steverife]

It seems like I have some pretty serious interest in both full sets of wheels.

I'd take $4600 for the car as it sits with the steels wheels/street tires and the new pair of TRM C1's. Buy 2 new wheels and your 2015 tire of choice and you are good to go.

[steverife]

All interest will be considered.


I know it is the wrong time of the year, but I'm ready to move it and move on.

[steverife]

Any interest in the car at all locally? With or without the RPF1's?

If you got it down to the point where it was just a "regular old crx" i might be, but it would not be an autox car at all for me. Winter daily.
