Asking price is $10,000 USD FIRM


Seller Information: CJ Dowling

Car is located in Atlanta, GA, USA.

Let me start off by saying that this car is my baby. I don’t want to sell it, but since I NEVER drive the car, I could use the cash more than I can use a nice, clean, powerful toy sitting in the garage (I guess I have my bike for that). The car has been garage kept for the last 4 years or so and in those 4 years, I have probably put under 5,000 miles on the car.

This car is also not a daily driver. I mean, you certainly could drive it everyday, but with what I have in it, I just wouldn’t. This is also not a car for someone who doesn’t know how or like to work on cars. It is by no means unreliable, but as all of us turbo Honda owners know, they can be finicky.

I have had this car for something like 7 years now, so for me to list everything I know about it would take years. I promise you this though: Ask me anything about it and I will answer it with complete and utter honesty. I have nothing to hide about this car. There are some light chips on the front end, a larger chip on the trunk lid, a tiny ding here and there, and some overspray in various places…but from 8 feet away, the car is perfect.

With the last motor (~400whp) and 22" slicks, the car ran an 11.9 in the quarter mile. I am pretty sure that as it sits right now, with 24.5" slicks, the car will just barely break into the 10's.

- Car runs a little warm on long stretches of highway at 90+ degree weather (pretty sure removal of the condenser or addition of a full size set of FAL/shrouded fans would fix this)
- Small cigarette burn on the passenger seat
- Alarm remote controls the vehicle fine, sometimes it does not get a page back from the car.

Very nice car & setup, but I'm a lil confused. Is this car located in Atlanta or Toronto? I'm assuming Atlanta which in that case, you'll probrably have an issue selling it on this site since this is mainly Canadian thus "TorontoIntegras". GL anyways.

The car is in Atlanta...the software makes you choose a locations from the drop down menu and there is no simple "other" option.

I know it is a long shot posting it on here, but it is not your average Integra, and I figured that Canada being less than a 12 hour drive away, why not?
