No trades.I am selling my 2002 Civic Si battlehatch. It’s been a great car to me but it’s time to go.
Mod list is the last picture but its fairly obvious things have been done. Aside from the obvious mods (listed in the last picture) the car has also received regular maintenance. In the last 2 years it has had new struts and springs in the front, new rear shocks, new radiator, new inner and outer tie rods, all new front end components with new bushings and ball joints, spark plugs… maybe that’s it.
I originally was going to swap a JDM K24 into it, hence the header/mounts/KPRO. But I fell in love with a new project of mine and this went on the back burner.
Everything works and no check engine lights.
I even have the original window sticker.
Yes, it has a Code3 unit from a retired police car. I have it set as a PA, electric air horn, and I have music that can play from the PA.
Now for the good and the bad…
Good:
Just look at it, it is RAD
Runs and drives great
Makes its own day light
Well maintained
Truly a 1 of a kind car
Camo nutsBad:
Camo nuts
It’s catless, wont pass emissions (and has a small exhaust leak where homeboy welded a pipe to replace the cat)
Has some small dents
Lots of rock chips on the front
Cannot be put back to stock (fender openings cut out to fit tires)
Drivers seat is very seasoned and well done
Motor mounts are stiff so it vibratesTags are good until end of October and with how Utah handles car sales now I can leave the plates on it. So you would have until October to register it in your name.
That pretty much covers it.
The car is located in Herriman and my schedule is fairly flexible.
If you have any questions or want to take a look at it, feel free to reach out to me.
Thank you.

You had me until I saw the snorkel. Lack of cat is pretty easy to correct, big useless hole in fender for a snorkel, come on.
perhaps you are too young to remember the 60s tv show daktari. prominent feature car was modified land rover with outboard seating on the sides of vehicle. (tho, maybe i am remembering the plastic scale model kit that has those accessories.) perhaps that is the fix for the fender snorkel hole. assuming there is anything solid back there to provide mount points. On my model, all you needed was the tube of cement
My first thought when I saw this was that it needed a Daktari paint job.
Weird shifter. I guess if you’re snorkeling.
“Drivers seat is very seasoned and well done”
What does that mean? It comes with a chauffeur? And that shifter looks very French.
