Model comes with driver/passenger airbags, ABS, electric windows and PAS. It also came with all RX model options - folding mirrors, door tweeters, keyless entry.

Car was undersealed professionally as soon as I took delivery and the underside still looks clean

Also comes with all 5 original Type R mats

I have as many receipts as possible and every MOT since I have owned it, including the 1st one when it was registered (proving mileage) and I am the 1st owner since arriving in the UK.
I have no japanese history but I had a full RAC inspection done before I bought the car, I am trying to locate this.
The engine is always allowed to warm up properly before being driven hard, uses no oil and therefore no smoking at all.

These pics are before I've cleaned it, will replace these with decent ones asap.

I managed to scrape the door a while back and had it sprayed. I also had my rear bumper replaced when it was scraped at my last address so Some of the panel colour fading are slighly different and only noticable when really looking, it's not bothered me. I'm sure a decent detail could sort this out.
Basically the car is sound mechanically and runs and drives like a dream. I've priced it for a quick sale as I've put a deposit down on a new car. This has come somewhat out of the blue and had intended on keeping the car, hence the new rad and brakes.

Just thought I'd add a link to when I did my B18 swap to show a bit of online history:

Done.... didn't realise they were quite that massive.

Alex, it is for a quick sale as I've already got a deposit down on a new car and I realise she isn't quite perfect so think the pricing is right.
 
Jesus christ what a bargain! This wont hang about GLWTS mate!
 
Decent car to break for parts and build back up hmm
 
£3200 for a 9 isn't it worth more in parts

Very probably.

I just don't have the time or the space. Someone else may well do!? I'm hoping it doesn't get broken and there does seem to be some genuine interest :nice:

When u say that do u mean only cosmetically?
 
Yeah, the actual chassis is fine and with the new bushes and on Spoon suspension it drives really nicely. The engine seems to be a good 'un too.
 
Why o why if only I had more space I'd get this tommorow can't believe it's still here tbh. This is ek4 money.
