Default Going to be Joining the Type R Crew

End of March, 2001 Phoenix Yellow, not sure of the number yet, but will find out. 89K on chassis, original owner used to be a regular customer at my Acura dealership. Decided to change his oil one day and forgot to torque the drain plug so all the oil drained out and blew the motor. :doh:

Service advisor at my dealership bought it, put a brand new Acura crate B18C5 motor (and clutch) into the car at the tune of $4,000. He bought the car off the customer for $6000 (a freakin steal), has $10K into it and is looking to sell it for $20,000.

Seeing as I've known him for a year now and we're actually pretty good friends he's letting it go for $15,000. :eek4: and is still making $5K profit so everyone makes out well.

Car is absolutely mint, nothing at all wrong with it, brand new Acura OEM Type R mats, fully detailed, etc.

I'm putting a $200 deposit down on it tomorrow so he holds onto it until the end of March when I buy it.

Mom is co-signing for me, I've always paid in full with cash on everything so that's a must. She's holding off because she just bought an '05 CR-V SE 4 days ago, going through a divorce, wants to make sure allimony and her entire financial situation is secure.

Anyway looking forward to the Integra, already am browsing for suspension. I want this thing to handle like there's no tomorrow and do a mild NA build.

Anybody with any suggestions on products, PLEASE help me! First time to the Integra camp.

Thanks.
