........i Guess you didnt read all the mods it had..... Yea that must be it....
And besides a newer car isnt always better... Something goes wrong with a dsm plenty
will be in the junkyards ready to lend donating parts, but a new car is harder to find
scraped... Also newer cars get harder and harder to mod because of more advanced technological ecu systems( but not in the civics case)..... Who cares the year of the dsm , did you see the mods.... The only way you turn something like that down is if you are so prideful and honest that you HAVE to do everything yourself and not eat off someone elses work... ( Which I agree for interior and exterior, but a motor like that will be ripped down and rebuilt over and over ... )

This car is streetable?....stage 5 clutch! I would look for a beater asap as things are probably going to break. If you are nice to it maybe not. How could I say "dont do it"? Be nice to her and go easy, it sounds like a thirsty animal.

Yeah, I think that's way too much for a first timer.
But I'm a nice guy and I'd be willing to trade you straight up for my stocker...
You got some pics of this beast?

I was being silly, those parts alone are worth allot more than my car.
But if your serious, I'd drive down to pick it up in a heartbeat.
I can make it to virginia in 8 hours... And back in 3 with your car...Lol
130,000 miles.
but the motor was redone by the previous owner...

i would definately go for the trade. there is no better combination than TURBO and AWD. that stage 5 clutch is going to be a pain on a daily driver. finding a beater fast isn't a bad idea. i have a spec stage 3 in my nissan 200sx. it has a 4 puck sprung pad and it is terrible in traffic. i've gotten used to it, but a stage 5 will make even going through a mcdonalds drive through a rough task.
