Sold!

 

With the 'summer' portion of my fleet coming back on the road in April, I think I need to let this go soon.  I have waffled a bunch, listed it and then pulled the ad, etc, because it is just so much fun as a lil back roads commuter.  This is a great hit of nostalgia but I need to own fewer cars and this is the most redundant - I have other hatchbacks, I have other VTECs, etc.

2003 Civic Si EP3.  Located near Reading, PA.  237k miles but with a ton of maintenance in the last few years.  Windshield, upgraded clutch/master/slave and lines, front end bushings, ball joints, tie rods, alternator, plugs, brakes, battery, VTEC solenoid and more.

It was a southern car until 2022 and it shows.  You could eat off the underside.  The only rust is a few scratches on the roof where a roof rack mounted years ago.

Real Mugen shock/spring package, drives great but is of course a bit stiffer than stock.  AEM Cold air intake.  CTR 22mm rear sway bar.  Short shifter.  Nearly new HKS HiPower exhaust included but it was a bit loud for me so the original OEM exhaust is on the car still.

Will be sold on OEM wheels with nearly new all-season tires.

Everything inside and outside the car works properly except for the rear washer sprayer.  Heat, AC, Cruise, Windows, radio, etc.

'Issues': A previous owner added the OEM style fog lights but they are not wired to anything.  The driver's seat has fabric wear but the padding and bolsters are solid and comfy.  The steering wheel has sun damage.  The roof paint looks like it spent 20 years baking in the southern sun because...it did.

$3500 located in Reading PA 19606

'Normal', I guess? No issues, no grinds, and i do drive it enthusiastically. Never gave it any thought.

I watched a youtube once and they stated this is the best Si to buy.  It sure is clean underneath, what's that all about?

That's funny... They might be the best value for an Si but always thought they were viewed as the kind of meh one. They didn't have the 8k rpm redline of the previous gen and they don't have the 200hp of the following generation.

My friend who just got one paid $3000, and upon inpsection of things after doing the valve cover and seeing some abonormalities, discovered some valves made contact with the pistons.  Engine runs fine though.  But he's already secured a new engine to swap in.

Loved my ep3, if this was still in the south I would snag it. One of my favorite things about this car is you could take the rear window washer deflector off and it shoots straight back. Great for tailgating.

That's a good price too - good to see another GRM got it.
