OTHER INFO: Lease car on the way so need to sell this.
Odyssey paint in reasonably good condition. Does have some stone chips on the front end and a few minor marks here and there. No major damage.
Black interior with leather seats/trim in excellent condition. Very minor marks on the driver seat, but no rips and the foam is still holding shape well.
2-1/2" red back catback exhaust, factory manifolds and cats still fitted. Has HID headlights and interior lights have been changed to LEDs.
Has a strut bar fitted. Water pump replaced December '12 due to failed gaskets, still have old pump for a spare if wanted. Radiator cap, aircon idler and tensioner pulleys, plus both drive belts also replaced when water pump was done.
New plugs and leads fitted a week ago (NGK BPR6EFS plugs used)
All standard Calais options, all working (volume button on steering wheel is broken but does still work. Just needs a new button, not a whole control unit) Centre console storage bin lid missing, I never worried about replacing it.
Recently tuned by a friend who has been tuning LS1's for about 6 years. Noticeable improvement in performance and fuel economy, running on 98 premium. Gearbox tweaked for smoother gear changes.
Overall in very good condition for it's age, only a few minor marks as mentioned. A great car to drive
I also have an older model Clarion head unit I was going to fit. Has USB input and can play MP3 CD's. Patch leads, including steering wheel control interface and facia can all be purchased on eBay for around $180. I can throw the head unit in if the buyer wants it.
PICTURES: More to come. Can take specific photos of car on request.
