Good looking car. I THINK I know the last owner on this one. He spent a ton of time and money trying to turn it into a competent auto-x car.

I'm pretty sure I've seen this thing for sale a handful of times. If it's the same one you're thinking it is(as am I), didn't it have some crazy custom $3000 Koni's on it at some point? They were trying to make it a good HS car, right?

I freakin love these things, too.

anyone who purchases that car might want to have it serviced at any place other than Hennessy Honda of Woodstock, because they suck.

Poop, arent you supposed to be searching for Miatas and Proteges and whatnot these days

It's kind of a sad thing really, I was going to pitch my 95 4 door at poop when I got it ready to sell in a few weeks. Poopy with no honduh just seems weird.

Good luck finding replacement parts. About 70% of the oem parts are no longer available.

No joke: I was searching "Integra" to get a real world value on my car, the sale of which would help finance the M6.

Sounds plausible. Guy's name was Eric. Really cool cat. We traded some parts 10 or so years ago.

Sorry the CL ad seemed like it had been written by someone with intelligence. Thought maybe Poopy was being sarcastic, combined with the Mazda6 hatch thread. I thought it might be his.

And Beans, yeah 4 door LS, stick, bone stock, sunroof, (even has the tool still stashed up there to raise/lower it manually) stack of service records, factory service manual. The kicker 106k miles bought it for my wife, and she didn't like it. I was driving it for a bit but I can't find a comfortable position where driving it for more than 20-30 min doesn't kill my back. I was backing out of a guys driveway and I didn't realize the overhang on the nose (was used to driving a na miata) and pulled it up a bit. Parked it that night, and it has barely moved since. Going to put it back together, (pulled out a couple of plastic fasteners) try and rehab the 90's clear peel, and get rid of it.

Blah, green and sunroof is Meh for me. Agreed on the stock seats, great for short stints and autocross, but my back sucks as it is. My 98 RS was great, aside from the seats/auto.

Shoot me a PM as well, I'd entertaining it here in the next couple months if you're not too far.

As you may have noticed, we're already collectively angling to beat you down on price. (joking.)

LOL

I've got a number I want for it. It's going on CL for an absurd amount of money just because jax used to be full of honda fanboi's. But Family will prob get it at a substantial savings. Much to my detriment as it's my miata/motorcycle money tied up in it.

Edit: sorry guys It's midnight, and I just got in. I haven't forgot, I just need some sleep.
