    New Owner, and immediately selling the car

    Hey guys, I locally found a blue 1987 manual in the seattle area. Original owner with 188k on it. Every record since the showroom and tons of spare parts.

    I immediately needed to do rear main because of a visible leak - which i suspect was getting on the flywheel and the clutch was slipping so I decided to take it apart.

    What i discovered is quite arguably the most difficult car i have ever worked on. Ive own 50 cars.. very mechanically inclined and have virtually a full shop at home. I have several high HP cars and this was a cute project my daughter liked.

    With everything back together, the clutch isn't engaging and I have zero patience for this knuckle beating, needlessly complicated and surprisingly tight engine bay compounded with extremely limited parts availability.

    As a result im fire selling it.

    "extremely limited parts availability"......
    -Rockauto
    -Carpart.com
    -HondaPartsNow
    -Ebay
    Also if an EFI third gen is complicated to you, maybe just stick to OBDII eggblobs. You'd stroke out with a carb one.
