VADriven.com Forums - 1997 Civic DX Hatchback - Rust Free, Reliable, Swapped Daily Driver

Levi
Virginia Beach, VA
PM for contact information (I do not publish my phone number)
VIN provided to interested buyers
Price -> See bottom for pricing /trade options. I have many pricing options, including a "pay for what you want" option.

With the wife and I moving back to the area, taking new jobs, and buying a house...I no longer have the need for four cars. This car is reliable as a daily driver, as I have started driving it more since moving back to Virginia Beach.

Bank currently has title (I took a very small, basically free loan). I will HAPPILY TAKE A NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT, PAY OFF THE BALANCE OF THE LOAN, AND HAVE THE TITLE IN HAND FOR A CASH-IN-HAND BUYER. Non-refundable meaning that if you give me a ($500) deposit, and I pay off the balance of my loan, and you change your mind about buying, you do not get it back. A document will be drafted up to cover all bases if this route is taken.

Engine:
1995 B18B1 LS swap (estimated 150k mileage) with LS transmission
- Running OBD2-OBD1 conversion harness with STOCK OBD1 P75 LS ECU
- Motor does not burn any oil and runs very strong. I have personally removed all of the sensors on the
car (IACV, FITV, injectors, MAP) and have cleaned and tested all of them. On occasion the car will
grab a "lopey" idle, where a throttle flick will bring it down to the OEM 500rpm idle. I believe it is a
throttle cable or throttle body butterfly issue. IAT is cracked, but functions properly with no issues.
- LS transmission has NO 3rd gear. All other gears work just fine, but there is a problem with the 3rd
gear.
- I have a b16 transmission with ITR LSD that is in PERFECT shape that I can include (for an additional price).
- A "wire tuck" was attempted by the previous owner. I have cleaned it up, however it would meet
my standards of appearance only. I have an OBD2 96-98 EX Manual harness that I could include for a
very interested buyer so the perfect wire tuck can be obtained.
- I have personally gone through and pulled all of the wiring that must be done to go from obd2-obd1
(MAP, IAT, injectors, full distributor) and have re-soldered and wrapped all of them.

As you can see, I put in PLENTY of information. I do not hide anything about any of the cars that I sell, so any interested party comes well prepared for what they are going to see. I will likely continue to do little things here and there to the car to make it more presentable and keep up the maintenance.
