Hello

I am new to this site and new to the civic world so I am hoping I can get some help. I found an 01 ex coupe with 65xxx miles in the local paper for $2000 so I had to jump on it. Steal of a deal or what? I thought it would be all screwed up but its not that bad. Got it looked at today and it has a hole in the tailpipe, small tear in the cv boot, needs the rotors either turned or replaced and unfortunately it is automatic. I need some help though. The dumb *** who I bought it from had some gay racing seats in it. I am looking for both front stock tan seats and seatbelts. He also put a aftermarket shifter in that just pisses me off so I am looking for a stock one of those as well. If anyone can help me out let me know.

By the way its lowered about two and a half inches with springs and coilovers and its got a kn airfilter.

They are tenzo racing seats with the whole five point harness deal. The harness is a pain to get in and out of thats why I dont like it. Thanks for the advice .

Re: Hello

surprisingly he got quality springs and coilovers. And the seats are not a problem more of a preference.

For $2k I believe I got a steal. Even if he beat on it a swap to a dohc vtec sounds like fun and a good learning experience. same goes with a manuel swap.
