OPEN TO SELLING IN MULTIPLE CONFIGURATIONS
IF YOU HAVE A BUDGET NUMBER YOU ARE TRYING TO WORK WITHIN,
LET ME KNOW!
Might be open to a street car / classic car trade - NO PROJECTS
Updated for annual "Selling my STC Civic" effort.
Here is info regarding my Civic that we are selling after the 2014 Nats. There's a small chance we may keep it if it doesn't sell but we believe it's time to move on. The car is way better than the inconsistent results I've had with it, and is the easy button for a person looking to compete at the pointy end. Kinch hopped in the car when his broke at the 2013 Nats and was a second quicker than me, finishing 5th or so on the first day.
Might part out and sell it as a street car if it doesn't sell complete.
I bought it in 2006. Jimmy Crawford (2009 and 2010 HS National Champ) built it originally. I've enhanced and updated it as the bar has been raised in STC. Here's the link to the original ad.

Price: $6,500, includes everything above and probably more!
The weight of the car as raced this year with 2/3 tank of gas was 1995 lbs. I am sure there's a few things you could do to pull another 10 lbs out of it. If you want to go ultra pimpy, get aluminum bodied shocks and the FastBrakes kit and shave another 25+ lbs off.
I am also willing to sell it in a lesser configuration at a lower price.
Positive aspects of this particular car:
- The car has national trophy capability, even in less than capable hands.
- Light, truly rust free, unibody, straight as an arrow.
- Engine is strong, 118.6 hp on the dyno, and 106 torque (dyno sheet)
- Engine was professionally built (Realtime Racing in Wisconsin). Compression, leakdown all good.
- Has not seen Ohio winters; was a California car until purchased by Jimmy and shipped to Wisconsin.
- LEGAL
- Clean title
Negative aspects of car:
- Driver's seat is not the best. I like it because if fits me, but others don't. You may want to change it.
- The car has 202k miles on it and is no show car or beauty queen. I just kept slapping on decals as I got them, and so it's a bit tacky - right at home on the STC grid. It has 23 years of dings and dents. The hood and front fenders are the worst.
- The interior is a bit worn, but not terrible. For example, no bad smells.
- I assume the new owner will drive it to events. I know the brake lights, turn signals, headlights, wipers all work. I know the horn and rear wiper do not work.
- The other negative is the reality of a 23 year old car that you drive the snot out of. The stuff that goes wrong is the stuff you wouldn't anticipate but happens due to age.
If you are interested, I'd like to get the deal done soon so I can confirm plans for 2015.
I may flex a little on price, but the reality is I can convert it to street car for $3500 - $4000 and sell the remaining parts. There are other cars that come available from time to time, and you can use those as a basis of comparison. The stuff under $4500 tends to have rust, be a 1990 - 1991, or a much lower level of prep.
Flexible on price based on configuration. For example, delete the SSR's and it's $5500. Take out the SSR's and Kosei's / Hankooks, and it's $5000. Take out the Bisi and pimp exhaust and knock off another $750.
Give me a call if you want to talk.
