I always worry a little bit about Honda HBs. They're such sweet little cars with crazy mileage potential - Gasoline Fumes' "Nutwagon" being a really, really good example - but they're also super popular with racer kids. The aftermarket wheel and CAI on your example being a case in point, I worry that the car may have been "riced" by someone who had an idea of what he was doing, but no more than that. The collection of throttle bodies only adds to the concern.

Cosmetically speaking, the hatchback you're looking at appears to be in great shape. That's a big plus, especially with a Honda that age. You'd halfway expect it to just evaporate from wintertime road salting. If the body and chassis are good, there's enough support for engine work that you could get the mill sorted without too much investment.
Thanks, this was my thoughts as well. They PO is an older gentleman. I don't think he abused it (too much lol). At least I'm hoping. I passed on a lot of riced out Honda cars before finding this one. I'll have to look up the nutwagon. I just don't see passing this one up for the price and mileage.
