Picked up a W203 Coupe Black w Manual Transmission
What an interesting car!
Picked this up yesterday from a very meticulous owner, everything works (knock on wood).
Pretty good condition aside from a few paint chips. Fun car to drive, now I need to sell my e46 automatic.

Look like the one I just bought -- surprised to find a 6-speed that sealed the deal for me.
But mine has a few gremlins to work out. And driver's door mirror looks like a failed dimming mirror. Did Mercedes put dimming mirror on the outside?

Picked up some Carlsson 2/5 Brilliant Edition 19" wheels
Picked up some staggered Carlsson 2/5 Brilliant Edition 19" wheels , but the rear width / offset is too close to rubbing the suspension, I will need a spacer + flare to make it work, which I will try do since I have a warehouse full of fender flares and fiberglass parts.
5x112
Carlsson 2/5 Brilliant Wheels
Front 19x8 et35 (fronts should fit)
Rear 19x10 et45 (rears need a spacer + flare if they're going to fit)

2004 Civic Si. FWD for the Win!
Nice coupe - looks to be in very good shape. What year is it? If it's a 2002, the timing chain is not as much of an issue as the 03-on years.
Damn, those wheels are huge. You should get the updated mirror blinkers; they update the look a good amount. Good to see another manny show up here!
