Hello everyone...

Name is Jacob... was in the Honda scene from my teenage years all the way to my 20's... Ive always loved euro cars and about 3 weeks ago, i made my first euro purchase.
Took me about 3 months to find a cherry R53.... i had to ship this one from Philadelphia to Seattle.

Ive never been a track person... my prior cars have alwasy been show/meet cars.... Plans on this car is no different... garage queen that never gets driven in the rain....

2003, 24k miles. Never been driven in the rain..

Owner had it in a temp controlled garage.
Paid $8,700 shipped

Thanks for looking.





















My first mod - got lucky with some BBS RS... the face and the centers are just very dirty but was able to save with Original Paint.... Bolts are also good without needing replating.... just need to get the lips CNC Machined to bring it back to Original look. Never been a fan of huge lips and crazy stance look...
























More to come... Thank you for looking.

 

It's a beauty. Thanks for sharing.

 

Congrats on the R53, looks very clean. Nice you have the sticker, that's a keeper.

Are you converting from a 5x120 to 4x100?

 

Good catch ECS; this may have been an 'oops' moment; awaiting the owner's response.

 

lol... will be using adapters.... or fill/redrill.

Nice one ECS.... btw i got a huge order coming

 

Nice price on a low mileage R53, particularly considering the shipping!!

If you need contacts for Puget Sound area mechanics that do good work on R53's, just let me know

 

Nice color same as my 06 R53 you got a good one!

 

Welcome and Congrats on the nice low mileage car. Let us know if we can help with any parts.

 

Really nice work on those BBS wheels. Post up some pictures when you get them mounted. Hope you keep the 17" wheels it came on, they look great on your Mini as well.

Excellent Mini find, but you made one big mistake!!

Shudda driven it across the country yourself... epic trip opportunity!

 

thanks man... yeah i would have loved to drive... just the weather.... if it was the summer i def would have done it.

 

Nice find, welcome to the forum!

 

Yup. It's a pretty tough time of the year to synchronize with some good cross country driving weather. At least you got the car... which is 100% good!

Plenty of Summer weather on the way to take care of the driving part.

 

Just wanted to make sure.

Thanks for the order

 

Looking forward to it.. Thank you
