mine fits the bill as you can see i have done all the hard work ready for the new ownerGreg. wrote: I would be interested in a 2.3 if it was in good enough condition though.

Could probably do a lot worse than this one

Looks very straight and original.
Slightly confusing spec tbh - it has a set of non-el clocks without a 4ws light and bb4 cloth, but it's a facelift ukdm car and according to registration look-up, it is a vtec.
If you're going to see it, check under the rear to make sure that it does have 4ws and if so, make sure it has a 4ws light somewhere (did Honda move it to the clock / temp and fuel gauge section during model run out???) and that it lights up with ignition and goes out a few secs after engine running. If it has the rack but not the light, that could explain the wrong instrument binnacle - changed to hide a fault with the 4ws (which is probably easy to fix but good for bargaining power!)

Or this one could be a diamond in the rough... (not needing much to sort it)

If interested in the second one, I could go take a look at it for you if you like - it's near me.

Manual conversion on an auto lude is pretty easy/cheap to do, tbh.
Even 2.0 to vtec engine conversion isn't that difficult.
If the rest of the car is good (not rotten) that's what I'd be most concerned about now due to age/rarety and then just convert the other bits afterwards. Depends how long you're prepared to wait really.

Bit of rust on rear arch by the looks and the bay needs some work but looks good for the money.
Cheers

Nice looking car.
Bear in mind you can't get rebuild kits for the K sport coilovers in the UK (the UK agents no longer sell coil overs, only brakes and flat out REFUSE to help on anything). You can order them or send them away for repair to the US I think, but cost wise it isn't worth it (by the time you've done that you would have been better off getting a replacement set of other makes). So bear that in mind.
As that's a custom colour, you'll need the paint code off the seller of you want to get the arches repaired.
Doesn't matter, but just to be pedantic... DC Sport manifolds aren't ceramic coated as standard, so I don't believe when he says it has been (plus if ceramic coated, why also wrapped?!)
Can't think of a member nearby there who could go and look at it for you, unfortunately.
