TYPE-R KNOB WALBRO 255 FUEL PUMP B-SERIES SWAP A/C SYSTEM INSTALLED JUNE '08. WORKS GREAT. BATTERY REPLACED 1 YEAR AGO PRESIEGE ALARM SYSTEM CONVERTED POWER DOOR LOCKS WITH REMOTE ENTRY. THERE IS PROBABLY MORE REPLACED/UPGRADED PARTS THAT I CANNOT THINK OF RIGHT NOW. I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR FOR OVER 4 YEARS AND HAVE GONE THROUGH EVERYTHING  REPLACING PARTS AS NEEDED.  THIS CAR NEEDS NOTHING.  I CONSIDER THIS CAR'S DRIVE TRAIN, POWER TRAIN, ELECTRONIC SYSTEM, AND CHASSIS TO BE IN PERFECT MECHANICAL CONDITION, A+.  IN FACT, I HONESTLY CONSIDER IT TO BE MORE RELIABLE THAN MY $14K SUBARU WITH LESS THAN HALF THE MILEAGE.  I WOULD RATE THE INTERIOR  AT A "B" BUT VERY CLEAN CONSIDERING THE CAR'S AGE.  I WOULD RATE THE EXTERIOR AN "A".  EVERYTHING WORKS PROPERLY ON THE CAR EXCEPT WHAT IS NOTED IN THIS DISCRIPTION.  I HAVE PERSONALLY INVESTED OVER $10K IN THIS CAR AND HAVE ONLY DRIVEN IT ROUGHLY 22 K MI.  NOT TO MENTION WHAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER INVESTED.  HE USED THIS CAR AS HIS SHOP'S SOUND/SHOW CAR AND NEVER RACED OR ABUSED IT.  MOST OF THE LAST 5 YEARS, IT WAS GARAGED. AND NOT DRIVEN "EXCEPT TO MAINTAIN IT".  IT HAS BEEN MY 3RD CAR FOR 4 YEARS AND NOW I NEED SOME OF MY MONEY BACK OUT OF IT TO HELP PAY OFF LOANS. MY LOSS IS YOUR GAIN. THE BAD: WITH ALL THINGS CONSIDERED, THESE FLAWS ARE NOTHING FOR A 14 YEAR OLD CAR: WRINKLE IN DASHBOARD-PASSENGER SIDE (PICTURED) REAR SEATS' BACKS SCUFFED (PICTURED) HOOD RELEASE LEVER HANDLE BROKE (KNOWN FLAW IN 96 CIVICS) STILL WORKS JUST HARDER TO GRAB. THE GAUGE CLUSTER ON THIS CAR HAS BEEN REPLACED 2 TIMES (AESTHETICS) RESULTING IN DISCREPANCIES OF REPORTED MILLAGE TO THE DMV.  I HAVE NOW ACCURATELY CALCULATED THE ACTUAL CURRENT MILLAGE TO BE 166,230.  I HAD THE CURRENT GAUGE CLUSTER MODIFIED TO REPRESENT THE VEHICLE'S ACTUAL MILEAGE FOR THE CHASSIS. THERE IS A SMALL TEAR IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR PANEL.  I RECENTLY REPLACED IT AND HAD TO SETTLE FOR ONE WITH A SMALL TEAR.  THESE PANELS FOR 2-DOORS ARE VERY HARD TO COME BY IN GOOD CONDITION.  I ALSO HAD TO SETTLE FOR ONE FROM A CAR WITH FACTORY POWER DOOR LOCKS SO, ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE, THERE IS A DOOR LOCK SWITCH THAT IS NOT WIRED UP. THE NEW PAINT HAS NOT YET BEEN BUFFED OR WAXED. I AM WAITING FOR THE PAINT TO FULLY CURE (6 MONTHS) IT SHOULD BE SAFE TO DO SO IN A MONTH OR TWO IF DESIRED.  IT LOOKS GOOD WITHOUT IT. I HAVE THE REMAINDER OF THE PPG PAINT AND WILL INCLUDE IT IN THE SALE. THE HEATER CONTROL PANEL WAS REPLACED WITH ONE FROM A DIFFERENT YEAR AND THE HEAT/COLD SELECTOR NOW WORKS BACKWARDS: RED IS COLD AND BLUE IS HOT.  THIS DOES NOT EFFECT ITS PERFORMANCE. THE RIMS HAVE SCUFFS/SCRAPES/SCRATHCHES. THEY COULD USE A RE-FINISH JOB.  WHEN I TOOK THESE PICTURES THEY WHERE CLEAN BUT NOT SCRUBBED. THEY WILL CLEAN UP A LITTLE BETTER THAN PICTURED. IN LISTING THIS CAR, I HAVE DONE MY BEST TO DISCLOSE ANY DAMAGE OR FUNCTIONALITY ISSUES.  I KNOW THIS CAR INSIDE AND OUT AND HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE ABOUT IT.  IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS, PLEASE CONTACT ME.
