Item for sale: B18C EG, Unfinished project (95% complete)
Reputation: http://www.ek9.org/forum/reputation-center/22423-charlie_eg.html
Price: £2800
Paypal?:No - Cash On Collection
Location:Co. Durham
Condition: Used
Description: For sale is my unfinished project. It has had a LOT of time and money invested into it! I'm only selling due to launching my own business which has resulted in two things: 1. Having very little free time. 2. Needing money to invest.
The car started life as an LSI (so it is cheap tax and insurance) but now has a JDM B18C fitted including S80 LSD box.
It is covered in carbon fiber and not cheap copied stuff either it's genuine Seibon Carbon Fiber which is notorious for it's fantastic quality and fit. The Carbon alone cost me £1650!
It has a Seibon tailgate, bonnet and spoiler and also has very high quality electric carbon fiber spoon replica mirrors (not cheap ebay items these were imported from USA).
The car was professionally resprayed in Ford frozen white and the quality is second to none! The car is dent and rust free, the arches are immaculate. They were already clean when I purchased the car but payed extra to have both arches replaced for extra peace of mind and longevity. The inner arches are also painted gloss white (I was going to black waxoyl these but never got round to it).
The engine and box where purchased from IRF a fellow EK9 member and since then the engine has had a full check over from my friend who is a Honda Master Technician. He also replaced the timing belt and tensioner with OE items. The engine will also come with a new complete rocker cover gasket kit (The rocker cover was removed to have it professionally repainted in the original Honda style crinkle paint). It will also be supplied with a new oil filter, new long ram filter, new Tegiwa coolant hose kit, new sump gasket, and various other service parts (when I say new I mean brand new still in the packaging)The CV joints have had the boots replaced with OE quality items.
The car is fitted with full 114 x 4 hubs and larger brakes. The brakes are brand new mintex discs and pads front and back it also features D2 bottom arms. The car has MB6 wheels on it which have been painted white and have BRAND new tyres on (although they are only budget tyres)
The bay itself was painted satin black (also professionally) It has been FULLY smoothed with basically the engine, box and brake servo remaining in the bay. The fuse box is relocated behind the dash (with access via the glove box) The battery is located in the boot. Wiring is ran behind the wings and the brake lines also run behind the dash. I can't emphasize how smooth the bay is enough all holes have been smoothed. This was that labour intensive the full respray including the shell was in excess of £2k!
The car has a very clean black trim which was pieced together from various other cars selecting only the best from each car. (although the trim will need refitting (I will list what jobs remain at the end of the advert)
As stated this is an incomplete project which I am reluctantly selling at a huge loss, I'm aware it is worth a lot more if it is broken but it seems a shame with all the time, effort and money invested in it, especially when it is nearly finished. I also don't have time to break the car.
To finish the car you will need to purchase a exhaust manifold, decat pipe, O2 sensor and gear linkage. The car does however have a Invidiva Exhaust system also brand new which cost me £700 including delivery! To the best of my knowledge the car does not need any other parts the rest are supplied.
Jobs to do.
Fit drive shafts
Attached exhaust
Fit gear linkage
Refit some of the interior parts (mainly the dash board, which was removed to relocate wiring and brake lines)
Connect fuel lines and water pipes
fit inner wheel arch liners
Refit headlights
Refit Side Skirts and Front bumper.
Those are the major jobs left to complete as stated the car is 95% finished and could easily be completed in a weekend by anyone with half an idea of what they are doing.
The car has no MOT or Tax but does come with complete V5 and both original keys.
Pictures: NB THE CAR IS UNWASHED IN ALL THE PICS! If there is interested I will gladly polish a side so the true gloss of the car is visible.
Although the car is dirty it still shows how straight and well gapped it is. The respray actually included old fashioned panel beating and lead solder rather than the common body filler and it shows! It's not ripply like most of these apparently 'straight' cars.
Skirts are included just need fitting.
