yea i had a 98 gs-r and had the a/c tuned off with the hondata s200......if they took it out theres 2 reasons why....#1 weight reduction or #2 didn't work in the first place then again i'd have it fixed.....but yea i sold mine for 7500....had over 60 mods done n had about 110k mi on it, had the timing belt/water pump chaged at ~90k soooo 5500 is negotiable....if the belt/waterpump and clutch hasn't been changed and is questionable if the the car had aftermarket parts i'd try n work off another grand...just make sure the engine is in good condition (comp. test, leaking/seals, unusual noises, etc....)
