That the trim without power steering? My buddy bought one in early 2000's and I went with him to test drive it. He complained the power steering must be messed up. At the time I had a 96 Civic DX, so I said let me take a spin, see how it feels compared to mine. I said "man, feels like it has no power steering at all" and we pulled over and looked around under the hood to realize we couldn't find a power steering pump, nor any evidence one was ever there. 

He bought it, and after my FD RX7 met an untimely demise in a bean field, his got the black leather FD front seats.

Your car has brought back some fun car memories for me. Good luck selling! Sort of wish you were closer.

Yep, it's the trim with manual steering, locks and windows. Only had 2 speakers from the factory and no rear wiper. It's pretty spartan

How is the ride with the suspension work you did?  Will it bounce over every pebble?  Any rust?

Sounds like my first car. 1985 Dodge Omni. Did not even have speakers or radio as it was an ex-city use vehicle I believe. Loved that car.

I had a strange dream when I was 14 or 15 that I had bought one of these in red and had put white wheels on it. It was strange because at that point I had driven a car once or twice but I woke up feeling like I knew exactly what this car felt like to drive. 

This shape is so great.

GLWS!

Honestly, I've driven about 15 miles on the suspension, but it's pretty smooth. 
There are rust bubbles on the quarters and Ohio rust underneath. 

Its definitely an Ohio car that lived outside but it's not terrible

I had a 97 dx.  What a great car. I'd love another one.

No, I do not have a B18C stage 2 head, ecu, rc injectors, adjustable timing gears, type R trans, Si front bumper/fenders/headlights, identical GSR seats, S2000 steering wheel, RSB, etc. 

Why did I open this thread? I assumed it was already sold.

Amazingly good shape for an Ohio car.  It had challenge intentions until it's owner was reunited with a family foxbody that is minty.  Please carry the torch and put a snail on it with the vtec motor and head that could come with it for the right price.  Minty interior and can be a really nice lightweight cruiser for someone.

Despite my parts stash, the timing isn't quite right. Plus, Mom says we already have VTEC at home (8th gen Si sedan with 222,000 miles).
