Marky-San Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 Hello folks, Change of personal circumstances force me to put my beloved on the market. Girlfriend is pregnant and swears it had something to do with me and a bottle of wine I run a register for these cars and you can a load of pictures and info on the car at my site: http://members.lycos.co.uk/markysan1970/index.html This car is in very good condition for its age. I dont drive like a looney so its well cared for, also its been garaged since arrival in 2001 to the UK. I'll start with the niggles *************************** 2 little dents on roof, but as from pictures you'll hardly see. Usual odd parking ding. Trim paintwork is slighty flaking at edges - still ok, but just needs colour coded properly. Chrome rim on wheels have markings - from previous owner, not me. Not really noticeable unless close up.

ENGINE & MECHANICAL ITEMS ************************* FULL engine rebuild at 87,100 on odometer (approx 56K in miles). Car has done just over 500 miles since rebuild, so is still being run in under 3K - however I dont use it so its taking a long while even to get to the 1K for that oil change NEW borg and Beck 3-piece clutch and flywheel Kakimoto full stainless steel exhaust with 4in tailpipe.

I will not be splitting the car mods at this stage - so the car is complete as above. £6'500 which is an excellent price for the rarity of car, mods and the full engine rebuild. (For this price the Firestorm and centre centre are not included - if you wanted these then add another £250). Alternatively, I can refit the HKS original S/S for the asking price. Preference is to PM me, although you can mail me at mwsmith@tiscali.co.uk as I dont log in as often. Thanks for looking, Mark Check the link below for pictures and information on the car.
wrxmania Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 A shame Mark but good luck with the impending family Hope it (and you) stays in the club, Brian
Sti-04!! Posted October 29, 2004 Posted October 29, 2004 Mark, the mwell massive is getting smaller by the minute Good luck with the sale mate oh & congratulations on the impending nights of joy (sleepless ones that is) Stephen
Grovit Posted October 29, 2004 Posted October 29, 2004 Congratulations with the baby - we had one 7 months ago - sleepless nights but it's worth it !!
Marky-San Posted November 8, 2004 Author Posted November 8, 2004 Cheers guys for the baby comments - to be honest, dont think we realise the life change we're about to experience. Its all a bit surreal - but I'll tell what is real - my car has to go, my 'time out' computer room has to go, my civic has to go. And to top it all off I have to redecorate and buy baby gear that will take over my cupboard as well. Wont change a bit of it Anyway, back to one of my tasks...... getting shot of the car to some lucky punter. Engine mileage is now around 580 since rebuild - did 100 miles today in car with no worries, actually really enjoyed the drive - checked select monitor and all clear. Glad to say I know a 100 miles doesnt sound like much, but when I've only driven 480 since July you'll catch my drift. Overall odometer reading is not 87,100 + 500 its actually 86,250 with the 500miles included - so its about 56-57K with the conversion. Engine rebuild was at 85,700 on 06-08-2004. Extra's of note for people interested ................ ft> Garage mileage odometer conversion from KM to MPH at 75,119. Immobiliser is a Meta cat II - have fitting certificate. Tracker subscription was updated in August 2004 for 1 year. Engine warranty until 06-02-2005 - transfer is not possible for this one. Unfortunately stated clearly in black and white its a personal warranty - but you'll not need it anyway[
Marky-San Posted November 8, 2004 Author Posted November 8, 2004 P/X + cash for a good clean Accord Type R.

Marky-San Posted November 9, 2004 Author Posted November 9, 2004 I took the bullets out - so your cool mate
Marky-San Posted November 20, 2004 Author Posted November 20, 2004 Car is now SOLD. Hardest bit was watching her drive away. She looked and sounded MINT! Never thought I would ever need to write that Car has gone to a really nice guy - so I'm very optimistic that the future of the car is secure and looking good.
