I got it from Sound Performances car dealer "Windy City Motors" i think it is. It's a '92 with every option i believe, cruise, ABS, heated seats, LSD, CD changer, traction control, leather and that all i can think of right now. It has 200k miles on her but runs like a champ besides the powersteering just started to leek and my TRAC off light and check engine light came on at the same time?! I am worried about the TARC and engine light though!! Any ideas? ?! But i cant beat it...i got it for a real good price I will try to get some more pics up. I have some more but they were taken in a garage as well. I will take someof her once she is all cleaned up and looking pretty!!

Thanks alot. The paint is in really good condition. So when the o2's go out the TRAC OFF light and CHECK ENGINE light will come on together? Wouldnt the car run a littel rough? My wifes o2's went out in her car and it ran rough with black smoke coming out. Hmmmm I will have to check that one out. But the car is fun. I love it.

i save a lot more goin thru these guys. its an 1hr 50min drive up there but i know the money saved is worth it.

and yea they have done a lot of honda stuff but also 2j in an rx7 and quite a few rb/sr swaps in 240's as well. and i just like the fact that its not AS busy as SP so at least the car wont be out of my hands for as long which is important to me along with quality of course.

anyways, welcome again. enjoy your sc.
