Just put the FD up on eBay... *cries* :\
Just put her up on eBay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=4555165353
All the info is in the auction...I really don't want to sell it, but I don't want to bring it to Boston with me. Maybe in a few years I'll get another, but for now I have no reason to have a car.

BOOOYAHHHH!
IF you dont mind me asking.... why?
i thought i was the only one who has this happen to them
People are constantly staring at the car as I drive by them, or while sitting at stop lights. Numerous times I have walked back to my parked car to find people posing for photos with it. I even carry around a bottle of window cleaner and paper towels to wipe the hand prints off the windows (you know how people cup their hands around their face to look in the windows). This car is not for someone who is scared to make new friends!

just wondering. . .why 21? I guess when you can legally get smashed then that is the prime time to test drive. . .

no, at least if you're 21, you have "some" driving experiences..
too many kids are coming out of high school and getting into high hp cars...

what kind of vacuum does it pull or have you had it compressioned tested lately?

-10psi at idle
-20psi when downshifting
+10psi at full (drops to 7 or 8 for a sec, but then hops back up to +10psi once past 4500rpm when the 2nd turbo kicks in. i've been told that this is normal.)
(i'm pretty sure those are the #'s, i can check tomorrow)

But why 21? At 25 insurance drops way down generally. 20 Would be a round number. The only thing I know about 21 is that I can legally go out and buy me a beer.
It doesn't really matter. . . but I do think some fella who's 18 and has the cash in hand seriously looking to buy the car should be allowed to test drive the car. But I do understand the basic concept of wanting to protect the car from dumbasses.
But anywho, sorry to get a little off topic

Very nice auction/ad - the best I've seen so far. Your FD deserves to sell for more then the BIN.
As for 'test drives', I - if heaven forbid I should finally need to sell mine - would not even allow it. I would simply insist on a having it checked over and test driven by a rotary shop of their choosing (not that we have many around here haha) which has insurance (pretty much all legitimate shops). Offer to cover half the fee. That weeds out the tire kickers and flaks really quickly.
Sold three sport bikes, and I can't tell you how many people wanted to take them for a 'test' ride...

Sorry to hear you're selling it. I guess its best for your situation but I could never sell my FD. My motor went on me before I even left North Lauderdale but I still put the car on the train and brought it up to Maryland with me. I bought an N/A FC as quickly as I could and the FD has been sitting with no motor in it for almost a year but the motor should be ready to go in this weekend.
On the 21 thing... hey, its whatever makes you comfortable. I definately understand and agree with your concern. I, however, was 17 (out of high school though) when I cosigned (sortof) a loan to get my FD. Definately the most shaping event of my life and wouldn't trade it for the world.
Good luck with the sale and with getting a responsible buyer.
Very tasteful mods btw. (not a fan of jdm plates but its whatever you want to put on your car)

it attaches to the bumper from the underside, so if you remove it there aren't any holes in the front end. i wouldn't have put it on if it required drilling holes in the front of the bumper!

oh no...
check out some of the questions i have been getting through eBay:
wow good think you checked out the entire listing. maybe try READING THE ENTIRE LISTING before you ask stupid questions.
great, another kid with a civic asking stupid questions. i guess most civic drivers just don't know how to read...hmmmmm let's scroll up the auction listing....oh look!! what's that:
Also, the previous owner began pre-mixing the gasoline with Royal Purble TCWIII clean burning premium synthetic 2-stroke engine oil. I have continued this mixing 4oz with every full tank of gas. If you don't know about pre-mixing fuel, here is the reasoning for it: Premium 93-test fuel is designed to clean the engine internals, in the rotary engines this sometimes causes the apex seals to 'dry-out'. Pre-mixing the 93-test fuel with clean burning synthetic oil helps to extend apex seal life.

Hey, is your RX-7 still for sale? How does it run?
