Came across this during my typical integra CL searches. Looks banged up!

It passed smog in California on May 17, 2014. Wish I had funds. It would make a great track car.

This is actually located in Minneapolis, MN. It was listed at 10m for a long long time. Gotta be pretty rough to still be around.

that front end looks rough....ouch..... still a good candidate for a track car

I’ve had my eye on this one... I hope to snatch it soon.

Strange, USDM 97 front to JDM front and then back to USDM 97. The lack of ABS is also odd, but could be beneficial for someone wishing to turn this into a dedicated track car. Since this car has spent time up north, I would recommend inspecting the underside for rust.

Absolutely perfect for the track.

I actually went to go see the scar in person a while ago. The car is very clean underneath, but have had some front and work done. The core support was changed due to accident damage. The damage goes back to the firewall area. There are welds that can be seen through the interior where the pedal box is. Not sure if the area was pulled back, replaced or what but it was sketchy. Sketchy enough to pass on a life long dream of a 97R. The windshield also doesn't have trim and the gaps seem funny on the window it's self. The seller is a nice guy but genuinely did not know the extent of the damage.

Do you know what is wrong that it needs to be towed ? . It's about down to value in parts. This would be gone in my area.

It is open header, the cat back is not connected at all. no test pipe, and its custom piping too so its going to require some custom fab work there. I never started the car when I was there, or drove it. I asked if I could test drive it and his response was the cars alignment was really bad, it was slammed and he put OEM style suspension back on it and never aligned it.. He did an eyeball alignment by adjusting tie rods but I cant confirm that it drives well. The shock towers are dented up from the front control arms bashing them, the tires are fairly worn also. The car has mileage issues via carfax. The mileage reported in 9/30/09 is 267,820 and then in 2/16/12 its 296,076. New owner titled it with only 116,223 miles.
The car is not Champ White either, its been painted a pearly white, engine bay too, front clip may be champ, but im not sure. Beware of the driver side frame rail area tho. look carefully at the damages there. I didnt take any pics of the damage because I was heartbroken over the deal, Traveled 9 hours with my buddy, my wife and son, rented a trailer, borrowed a truck etc all for nothing. I didnt buy it due to that damage on the driver side front shock tower area. The welds are awful, and you can see metal bent and not repaired properly.
