Clubrsx (watch out .. they are vicious over there) Acuras' make great beater cars, but don't run 100 shots of NOS thru them or you'll blow your intake manifold racing Dominic.

+1 for Craiglist.

lol yea it runs, it just passed emissions and state inspection... has 154,000 miles on it and kbb says that it's worth $1,700 bucks, but I don't really have much room for it, as the Z will be coming home soon. I'll take a pic today and hopefully have one up tonight/tomorrow morning...I just got the exhaust replaced about 5 months ago, had the oil changed about a month ago, and a buddy sold his car and gave me a cold air intake or short ram intake(don't know exactly what to call it...kinda like a PopCharger) about a month ago so the car has that too. lol.

here is a pic. I couldn't get the other ones to load b/c they are too big. I don't have time to resize them before class, so I'll put them up later today/tonight.

I just traded in a '97 Probe that ran absolutely flawlessly. The dealer gave me $1200 for it, I don't know if they still have it. Not sure if that's out of your price range, but you could probably get at what they paid for it just so they didn't have to wholesale or auction it off....let me know if you want more info.

Just noticed this thread and yea $750 isn't a biggie so no worries. No problems with the car as far as I am able to tell. I'm more than happy to let you drive it or have a mechanic look at it if you want.
