Default 97 Busted Turbo Accord

Spec: Automatic 97 Honda Accord 4 door silver with 100k miles on the chasis with A/C, sunroof and power everything.

Good: Sound/bass system, lowered on Tokiko/Eibach with 16" Enkei Wun-Gun and 80+% Falcon Z grade, spoiler, Wings West air dam.
Extra good: Turbonetic T304E, JonnyRacecar front mount IC, SAFC, Greddy type S BOV, APEXi Turbotimer (slim pen), Tial WG, front strut bar.

Bad: I'm the 3rd owner and previous 2 owner had damaged the passenger front side and I had the core mount re-aligned as best as they can so it's not very obvious. Engine not getting cooled down, over heats when driven, auto tranny busted, only got 2,4, R gears.

Story: Put in a turbo early this year, drove the auto tranny to **** which in turn drove the engine to ****. Finally busted today and had an engine rebuild and manual swap planned but under pressure from family to ditch the hobby and car.

Bottom line: $2000 for a car that requires an engine and tranny replacement. Easy job if you are a mechanic, straight bolt on to the turbo. Contact me if interested or want to see car (407) 574-1791. Locates in Orlando and can't be driven.
