You've got it backwards my friend.

ITR for daily,
FD for track.

Same thing I do,

B18C Civic (being rebuilt now) for daily, FD for track and/or whenever else I want to drive it.

Its your car and your money, so do what you want. It sounds like you are about to get a reallllllll good deal on one of the best cars ever created. I wish i was in your shoes, i would be purchasing another FD just for such a good deal. welcome to the forum man

Exactly.

Use the ITR for DD. Lower level of performance, but higher level of reliability - PLUS you will be screwed come heavy rain and/or severe cold/hail/etc weather conditions and you're in the FD.

The oil might have been overfilled for a reason. To keep as much as possible, internally, from drying out.

Haha, That's a good one

In our area, there are no shops within 400+ miles. (Unless KC has a good shop. )

White Dragon,
I'm no professional, but I do know my way around an FD. If you want me to go with you to look at it, that wouldn't be a problem.

What in the world was the original owner thinking?

6k miles sounds great, but how does it have door dings?

I would be concerned as to whether or not the car was in a serious accident; or anything else someone might try to hide. It was obviously not taken car of, who knows what happened to it?

And ditto on everything else said about it.

IMHO, in 10-15 years, low mileage stock FDs will be worth big bucks. High mileage, modded up FDs will be a dime a dozen.
Now what are you planning on doing??
