Yes,
you guys are reading this right. It's been an amazing experience owning this car, but I've (painfully, and certainly NOT easily) reached a point in my life where I need to move on from it.
With the addition of our new bundle of joy a month ago, it is becoming increasingly important to me and our family to focus our finances elsewhere.
ULT1GCRX has (especially lately) represented the ultimate dichotomy in my life:
An absolute blast to own and drive w/ jaw-dropping performance on one hand, and on the other seems to be a source of invariable petty annoyances.....more on this later.
For those who've seen the car in person they can tell you; it's taken an enormous amount of time, $$$, patience, sweat, bloody knuckles, colorful metaphors, etc to get it where it is today.
And for anyone who's ridden in it ::cough::DiscoStu, et. al. ::cough::, he/she can vouch for the car's performance.
It was built w/ the goal of out-accelerating, out-handling, and out-braking a stock C5 Z06 Corvette.
Mission accomplished.

The following issues are things that I've lost patience with, and I'm sure would be much less problematic for those w/ greater mechanic skills than myself:
"ISSUES"
- PGM-FI light comes on intermittently (may need O2 sensor, close to turbo)
- surging idle at start up
- sometimes has a "hiccup" at low rpm's (have to blip the throttle w/ clutch engaged to smooth this)
- mild synchro grind from 2-3 gear shift (only noticeable w/ "spirited" driving)
It is an 1985 Si, so it has the factory "sponge" spoiler exclusive to the '85, as well as functional power sunroof.
I have receipts for almost everything that is currently installed on the car and anyone here at RPR can vouch for me and this car. I can provide any information you need and pics of anything as well, but John Ward ("ComposiMo") at RPI racing/ICON auto parts would be able to tell you much more specifics on the turbo install than I could. This is a nasty car (power-wise) and reliable (although a bit stiff) as a daily driver. There are about 175,XXX miles on the chassis, and about 50K on the engine (less than 2K on the engine since the turbo install). The body currently has the residual damages from the "flying hood" incident from last year, but I am willing to work w/ you on getting it repaired. The car has never been smoked in and I am the third owner.
My thoughts toward the sale price of this car is pretty much up in the air. I know I have around $27K into the car, but... it's a CRX I don't have any delusions of grandeur. The blue book value of the car is apprx. $1,500. Don't offer me this or I will laugh at you and you will feel stupid.

This car has been modified with a 'non-destructive' mentality so there are not unused holes anywhere on the car. The engine wiring has been done with care and precision as has the rest of the mods.
I am willing to be as accommodating as possible to long-distance buyers so do not let that limit you.
I will ABSOLUTELY NOT part the car out, so please don't even ask.
This car is 100% RUST-FREE (Arizona car for 16 years, Ohio for 1, NC for the last 4+--always garaged)
I truly hope this car goes to a good home...
****UPDATE****
I *might* be willing to trade for a $3000 or less 4 door 5-spd civic/accord/corolla/prizm/camry + cash
