Well. I totaled my integra GS. The dad told me my axles are broken and something about the control arm. Here is a picture



I was thinking... Which one should I do, buy a Civic Or Integra shell and drop my motor and tranny in? Or have my dad fix the mechanical problems for free so it will run and take it to the body shop? How much would it cost to fix that much body work or replacing fenders and doors and bumpers?

 

Do you have any more pictures or details on the damage? Frame damage?

 

yes it has frame damage in the back, the front frame looks good. Im leaning more towards getting the engine out and puttin it in another car. Since this car is OBD2 is it possible to put it in a OBD1 body? Will all the plugs in the engine bay match up?

 

is insurance going to pay for it if so buy the integra back yank the motor and rear brake assembly. Find u something cheap ie old civic or crx, find u a b16 head and mate it to the block. (gs comes with a b18b right? Boom now u got a frankenstien for cheap. Who cares about the looks when their behind u lol.
IF u didnt live in cali i buy the teg from u

 

nope insurance aint paying nothing! i want to put the b18b1 into a del sol or something, is that a direct fit tho? GS/VTEC too hard to do i cant find a shell, its pretty hard heh

 

yes the ls/gs is the same engine b18b and yes it is a direct fit into the del sol or civic all you will need is the obd convertors and gs/vtec all you need is b16 head and some block work u get around 180 hp with the gs/vtec

 

WHile normally cheap and good dont go togather i think this will be ur best bet. But u have to buy another in which to do the transplant. I just picked up a good running 95 civic hatch for $1000 but the airbags had been deployed and it needs a new hood but other than that its great.

 

where do you find such shells? lol i dont know if you have a certain place you look for em or if you just came across it, cuz i need one. and if you dont have a specific place to look for shells alone, where do you look for used cars? i use craigslist and auto trader and cars.com. any other ones?

 

ebay but normally people r trying to get way to much out of their hondas on the internet. I found my locally through a friend. Look in the classifieds try to find something with a blown headgasket or something. I just lucked up i bought my jdm b16 powered delsol for 1100 but it had a burnt valve, broken window, broke timing belt, worn water pump and others but it now runs great dont u wanna buy it

 

so yes, my b18b will be direct bolt onto a civic or del sol body right? do i need to do any modifications to the body to make it fit, it goes on perfectly right? i am worried because i dont have much money to work on it. has anyone answer my question? will the plugs in the engine bay plug in directly into my engine? like will all the sensors plug in correctly? how much is the vtec head na dkit? how much can i sell my b18b head for? and does anyone know a shop in the bay area that will put the vtec head on my motor at a cheap price?
