1991 SE hatch w/ HICAS

Couple small issues, nothing major. And the best part is that it's 99.9% rust free. Body is in good shape. Came with a ricer exhaust and the vinyl on the taillights. Not a fan of the muffler at all but the vinyl is okay. Cleans up the back pretty decent.

Someone stole your spoiler!

I just picked up a super-hicas myself. Its been in the shop for a week waiting on back-ordered vacuum hoses though. I may need a bilge pump for the spare tire well since its been raining a lot here.

Very cool. Looks really nice and clean. I saw some guy on Zilvia who did that 2 his lights, maybe the same car?

BTW, I didn't know a hatch could come equipped with HICAS.

Learn something knew everyday....

Oh, and Axel I don't know if you are goin for that look, but everytime I see your avatar I think of this...

I think the hatch was replaced with one from a base model that was black. The paint on the hatch is pitted a little more than the rest of the car. And as for the guy on Zilvia, if you are talking about the guy who was doing the vinyl kits, yes, I got the car from him.

Actually, no, I registered on here 3/19/2003 @ 3:30pm but when they switched BB software, I lost my password and my email address I signed up with was no longer valid so I had to make a new screenname.

Well, you can't have it all I guess. I was less concerned about that rather than the exterior/interior condition and driveability.

Got it for $2500. It's a little over the KBB private value, but finding a clean S13 these days is getting pretty tough. Many of the ones I looked at were complete POS's with windows not working, rust, or other mechanical or aesthetic issues.

You should be happy that the lights where only covered in vinyl. The kid I bought my 240 off of decided that it would be 'COOL' to primer flames on the taillights and arrows on the turn signals. Needless to say I had to replace all the lights. Luckily I found an '89 coupe in the junkyard that still had good taillights in it and thanks to enjuku racing I have clear turn signals.

I'll get the hicas eliminator bar once I do a spring/shock or full coilover setup. As of now, I can't really notice it's there.

i almost bought it for 2400 but the clutch is got like 10% life left in it plus its been hit on the front passenger side fender/light/bumper the bumper is a lil twisted and there quite a bit of rust (not on the body)maybe you didnt look under the car but yea...the wireing is messed up who ever wired the radio messed up big time you have to have the lights on to have the radio turn on all the way. there were a few other lil problems but i was just thinking today i might call him back and buy it any way like you said its getting harder and harder to find good ones
