1987 Civic Type-R Fans
This auction is for a "highly" modified 1987 Honda Civic LX Sedan Type-R. This vehicle is equipped with 1.5 Liters of 12 valve carbureted fury. I am sure that it puts down at least "60" Wheel horsepower, if not "62". The power is transferred to the pavement through a slick shifting 5-Speed manual, equipped with an open diff. The interior is ergonomically designed for rapid driving, with a "Timex" Monster Tach to help keep the revs up when shifting, and a detachable face Kenwood stereo to keep the driver occupied when he is not racing other high-powered imports. The car even comes with tweeters dangling from the front doors!
The Mods to the exterior of this car are truly awesome and extensive. The car is equipped with a stylish body kit by "suncast" (makers of fine gardening products and decorative edging) This 5inch garden trim accentuates the curves of the car and gives it a lowered menacing stance. The trim is mounted/stapled in such a way that it highlights the 9 Inch chrome trashcan that now functions as an exhaust. At the front of the car you will notice the large intercooler and the fog-lights to light up the boulevard so you can cruise for the ladies. The car even comes with California plates because everyone knows that is where all the hot imports are from! On the hood a large aluminum scoop feeds air into the engine. I am not sure where it came from but it would be equally at home on the supercharger of a top fuel dragster. I also equipped the civic with a non-functional "roof scoop", like the Mclaren F1 and the Saleen S7. It has to add at least 5hp.
In the summer the doors can be removed in the back instantly transforming this car into a civic with no rear doors. (Check with your local police ordinances before attempting this mod) In addition to the increased airflow, and weight reduction for street racing it allows for quick access when fly honeys want to cruise.
The highlight of the body modifications to this car has to be the "Biplane-Kamikaze-Combat-Strafe-Attack Spoiler" It is made of wood for light weight and is mounted on 24 Inch Alloy Support Tubes (Pipe Conduit). The down force it provides helps keep the rear wheels in full contact with the road at all times. This down force works with the wide tri-star wheels to enable this car to corner like a Ferrari.
Now don't think that this car is all show and no go. It was build from day one to be a serious street racer. In fact it blew through the quarter mile in only 20.11 Seconds at 66.8 MPH! It eats Mustangs and Camaros for breakfast.

Well as of this morning I have recieved 472 emails. I have been proposed too once, offered three jobs, two positions in various films and generally been called an idiot/moron/retard twenty three times. That leaves 443 positive, supportive emails from people who generally like the car and understand the underlying humor that has made this the most viewed auction in all of ebay. I have recieved emails from, Australia, Japan, Finland, Denmark, England and New Jersy. As far as I can tell this car has been mentioned on over 50 car forums accross the internet. I must say that when I made this car as a joke 2 years ago I had no idea it would become such a phenomenon."
