Honestly, it will take a lot of love to get this little guy back to race-ready condition, and, thanks to many Maine winters, would probably be a better organ donor than project car. However, he has proven to be a truly capable car, and in the hands of the right driver (my co-driver in Iceland was AMAZING... I just happened to own the car, so I drove), would be a real contender.

Here's what you get:

1987 Honda CRX Si
1989 Acura Integra 1.6L DOHC (non-vtec)
AEM adjustable cam gears
Moroso oil pan
1989 Acura Integra 5-spd transmission
Phantom Grip LSD
1989 Acura Integra front and rear disc brakes
Energy Suspension bushings
OPM torsion bars in front
Ground Control coil-overs in rear
Tokico adjustable shocks/struts
Hella/IPF driving lights on removable mount
Lexan rear window
Dual roof vents
Subaru Impreza hood scoop and vents
ATL 15-gallon fuel cell
Alfa-Pro rally computer
Autopower cage (not up to Rally America standards)
Sparco Sprint seats
RCI 5-point harnesses

Spare Acura Integra 1.6L DOHC engine and tranny, plus many spare parts.

Never been crashed. Beat up, yes (HELLO! It's a RALLY CAR!), crashed, no.

Previous owner built him and raced him for two seasons, I believe; something like 7 races in New England and Canada. I paid $3500 for him in 2002. Raced one season (2 races), and then pretty much retired him. He still runs strong, and deserves to be put back into competition. I just don't have the time to do it anymore.

Keep in mind this is a PURPOSE-BUILT RALLY CAR. Although this car is driveable, and technically street legal, I want this car to go to a good home and a knowledgeable rally driver, not to someone who wants to take it out to the local ricer hangout and street race with it. Potential buyers will be screened.

Car and spares available for delivery if you want to pay me for my time and gas.

Thanks for looking.

Not that I know of. I bought it in like April 2002 and trailered it from Maine to Norfolk, where it was shipped to Iceland. It's been here since June 2003, when I cam back from Iceland.
