ok, some of you remember my car, for those who don't, description below.
i'm looking to trade it asap for something completely STOCK! close to $5000.
let me know what you have. i would actually prefer a truck! :) just keep in mind - i am not looking for another project! i am not looking for something that is in a shop or is straight out of the shop, not looking for anything older than '90. i need a reliable daily driver without any modifications!
pics of my car are at

Thanks!
-------------DESCRIPTION-------------------------------------
For sale is a modified 1994 Honda Accord LX coupe. a 4cyl 5 speed manual.
I'm a second owner. Most of the modifications work was done by me, final turbo installation and tuning - by TC Performance.
What was done to it.
Powertrain:
- newer 100k miles engine installed (original engine with 250k+ miles is offered with the car, both engines in perfect working condition) The engine is stock Honda F22B2 non-VTEC SOHC OBD-I 2.2L
- Walbro 255lph
- RC 370 injectors
- fuel filter replaced
- ApexI SAFC II
- Garret turbocharger T3/T4
- Tial wastegate (open exhaust)
- FMIC, BOW, manual boost controller, boost gauge
- K&N intake filter
- custom piping and exhaust
- test-pipe (high-flow racing cat)
- stock EX model muffler
- generic short-shifter
Suspension:
- Energy suspension bushings kit - all bushings replaced
- front strut bar
- rear upper and lower strut bars
- Tokico Ilumina 5-way adjustible shocks
- Tokico springs (lowered about 1.5-2 inches)
- Adjustible front upper-control-arm mounts
- Adjustible rear upper control arms (Ingalls?)
- Brembo blanks front, stock rear brake disks
- Bendix pads
- Motul 500 brake fluid
- 17" rims (no-name), plus a set of 17" Enkei's (just rims), plus a set of 14" steelies with bold "slicks-like" street tires
About the project - I've built this car for drag racing, and it turned out to be a very good street/circuit race car, but it never did better than low 15 seconds in a 1/4 mile. It is tuned for 9psi and shows 185hp and 220 pounds of torque (tuned and dynoed at TC Performance - references and receipts are available upon request.)
The car is quite a soldier - I got it with 165k+ from original owner, and it went through three seasons of racing on a stock clutch. Only after adding more boost I had to replace the whole long block because the clutch didn't keep up with the power. The original engine is still just perfect for a normal street naturally-aspirated driving.
The car was never in any wreck. there were a couple of fender-benders. some body pannels have scratches, not from accidents though. All suspension is aligned for lowered setup, is pretty stiff in current setting of shocks and has no body roll. Stance is pretty nice - not too low, not too high, just about right. Car is tinted 20%. It has full interior, stock stereo, power windows/locks/mirrors, airbags, ABS is present but disabled, and it has no A/C, but all parts go with the car - A/C had to be taken out to make room for the turbo.
The car is a perfect sleeper - it is completely stock-looking outside, even the muffler! The intercooler can be covered by a black mesh grill and you will not even see that (it's inside stock front bumper).
Car has been raced 4 seasons. However, with proper maintenance, I still trust this car with my life. It's not a normal daily driver anymore though, it's too agile for heavy street traffic, and it's pretty low to get in and out most underground parking garages.
Cons: it's an almost finished project. What I would do to make it complete is add LSD, build an engine for higher boost and then add a racing clutch. If not used for drag-racing, it can go on 17" wheels all the time and then it will make sence to add big brake kit
The ignition lock has a loose contact somewhere, sometimes you have to try several times before this contact fires up a starter. It's a known thing that happens to this generation of Accords.
It does throw a check-engine light code 3 (MAP sensor) simply when you are going under high boost for some time. The code goes away and overall this doesn't affect performance. You can probably replace it with an aftermarket MAP sensor.
new: there is a small crack in the radiator and it's leaking/steaming under full throttle.
All lights are operational.
Car is currently registered, it passes emissions in stock form (without turbo and with a cat converter) with flying colors.
I'm selling it because I've done everything I could to this car, and it's time to move on (and i'm a little pissed at the 1/4 times it runs :) ).
Pictures available here
The price of $5000 obo is barely half of investment into the car. However I will concider a trade for any reliable truck. let me know what you got, maybe we can work out a deal. maybe a good daily driver, i am open to consider trades.
Thanks for looking.
