around 10K.

I am going to drive it tonight to see what it's about. I want a stockish driving car , no wacky clutches. Something I can DD and track for fun.

There is a 2000 SIR for sale that is mint, but it's got a welded in cage (backhalf) and no rear interior. Dood wants $9500 for it.

- Sunroof Deleted - Replaced with CARBON FIBRE Panel (note this is a permanent modification)

The car runs really strong and has never consumed oil. This engine dyno'd at 151.3whp with the catalytic converter in place. I get compliments on this car at virtually any track day as it is so clean and stock looking. The fact that the car is so stock is what also makes it reliable.

I last drove the car on the street in 2007 with the roll bar but I since purchased a truck and a trailer so I took it out to Calabogie and Mosport this past summer but did not drive it there. To put it back on the road you would probably need to re-install the catalytic converter, the stock seats and belts as well as the steering wheel with airbag - all of which will come with the car. A/C, power steering are all in place and OK as they have never been altered.

Located in Ottawa area - local delivery included.

I have started to work on a race car project hence my reason for selling. No items will be parted from the car. I reserve the right to end or change the details of this listing at any time without reason.

I think I am too old and crusty to drive a caged car on the street. It just seems homo as a daily.

...It just seems homo as a daily.

i just bought an 01 acura cl type s from the original owner and i love it. hes never had trans issues and i dont feel any bit of slippage. pretty baller features for the price you pay

[Lowerit]

I came close to buying a TL - Type S last week.  1 owner, all service records and the dealer wants $12.8 for the car. My issue is that they have a $900 Doc fee and aren't willing to budge off the price. (they have had it 3 mos)

I looked at a CL- Type S last night. Again 1 owner, gray , auto , with 160,000 kms for $12.9 ..too much money. Nice car, but what threw me is that it was wearing Snow tires still.


How is the CL on gas?

[Spanish-rice]

i drove it 260 miles back to my hometown and was up around 28 mpg on the highway, in town i got a total of about 370 miles out of the tank. with a mix of highway and in town driving i got about 25mpg. i cant complain. and its pretty snappy for what it is also. but i also paid 6k becuase this guy was hard up for cash 

[bigwig]

I'm in for one of the newer Mazda piston offerings, manual transmission only.  They are nasty cheap and about as reliable as a Honda used to be.

Mazda3 is what the Civic was in the 90's, except the Speed3 doesn't suck like the Si.

I drove the 04 Black K20 car last night.

Doesn’t include this, doesn’t include that…this is extra, that is extra…have to hold down the AC button, the defrost and hit a switch to get the AC to come on.

And if that’s 220WHP it’s the weakest 220 I have ever driven. My caprice wagon with 120,000 Miles would eat it on the highway.

Had a repaint that I could spot 10 Ft Away, lots of orange peel.


Really disappointed.

Welcome to riceboy cars.

[Lowerit]

Going to look at 2 SIR's tonight. One is stock , one has a B18C swap in it.
 
I emailed about 4 of them. 2 of the cars needed work , had rebuilt titles and some "Ching Chong" mods. Who really thinks Recaro Knock off seats  or 'Bride" knock off seats are cool. 

Car shopping makes me want to shove a pinecone in my ass.


I should buy a 4cyl Camry

[Lowerit]

Bought a  Civic SIR (2000) Motor is bone stock , suspension is balls out with Koni Yellows, Poly , ground control coilovers, Skunk LCA's , Skunk 2 short shifter,  bone stock interior except the deck.

Car is clean as hell and the kid needed $$ since he picks up a new GTi this weekend.

I stole it.


Mods:

Apex’i N1 exhaust system (new)
Skunk2 Dual bend shifter w/ weighted gear knob (1 year old)
Skunk2 Pro series front upper control arms.( poly bushings, and easier camber adjusters) (new)
Skunk2 Pro series rear lower control arms (Gold, poly bushings,with 3 different settings for endlinks) (new)
Koni Yellow shocks w/ 5 way perches mated with Ground Control Coilovers( tokico spacers, and all new OEM bolts) (used 6km)
(New) lower ball joints
(New)Rear sway bar endlinks
OEM CTR Red Valve cover (comes with original)
OEM CTR red stiched shift boot.(1 year old)



and yes fuckers, I will boost it....my first B series.

[Joseph Davis]

Those cars are heavy, slow, and smell like anus.  Good job.

I think you have my car confused with YOUR MOMMA

[dvst8r]

I have a car that looks like that, but it has a d16y8 and black steel wheels. Paid under $3000 for it. Stock everything including tape deck.

JD is absolutely right about all of it.

[Joseph Davis]

Mom's not so heavy these days now that the cancer's kicking in, she is slow and smells bad though. 

Your car still sucks.

[Minor Threat]

Yeah I have one like it only black.

It really does suck, B16s are useless faggot motors.

I'm selling mine.

[Lowerit]

hahah , I can feel the love.

eat me haters.

[LS1pwNzJ00]

Welcome to riceboy cars.

Seriously, dont buy those pieces of shit.  Buy something that is stock and leave it that way, buy something that police wont fuck with you in, and you can't really fuck around in or drive all stupid.  It'll save you money in the end.

[Zarcorp]

Yeah I have one like it only black.

lsvtec it

Daily + project = hating life.

[Minor Threat]

I have all the shit for a b20 vtec I just can't bring myself to do all that work for something I want to get rid of, especially if all that work + money can't be added to the selling price.

[Zarcorp]

A daily should be something that you can liquidate easily after you buy it, i.e. something you can easily restore to stock for cheap.

That's an idealization though, people always want stupid creature comforts.

[Lowerit]

The main reason I bought it is becasue he has done exactly what i would do. Bone stock motor with all the suspension work. He has all the service records for it, changes the oil every 2500 miles with Synthetic, runs motul and was really meteculous about the car.  I needed something a wee bit fun, I couldn't stand the thought of something mundane.  I work  20 minutes from Mosport, 1 hr from Shannonville and there is a lot of autocrossing in the area.

I will leave the motor stock and just pound in it. Probably replace the car in 2 years after I get my house.

The guy even said the right side windshield sprayer nozzle didn't spray a proper pattern, but he has the new one from honda.  OCD like a mofo is exactly what I want in a car owner.

My only issue with it is that it sits too low in the front and needs a front bumper cover (cracked on the bottom)

I looked at so many rice wagons with ebay air intakes, chipped ECU's on stock motors with shitty tunes.. mixed and matched tires, 1 kind of suspension upfront, another in I can't stand that shit.
