So, many of you know, I have two sols. The second was a salvage title, and WAS an auto. I picked it up for 2000, and it ran great and was fully redone. Si, yaddy yadda. So the tranny side mount was saggy, I put in lowering springs, and the new week hit a huge bump in the road, the tranny smacked it, and buh bye auto tranny! So, I did an auto to manual conversion on it. Not tough. Then the good old d15 in my 93 S decided to go... Well, I love that car with a passion, so I pulled the d16z6 out of the green Si. The blue S was peachy again, but I didn't have anything to throw in the green one. So, I got a d16 from a buddy, and it turned out he hosed me... Some buddy... Missing a ton of sensors, timing belt cover, dist, wires, engine harness, etc. So, I finally found a totalled 95 civic EX that a guy was parting out. So, I drive half way to Bump F@#$ Egypt, and pull the motor, ecu, a hub, and the steelies for about 300. Cold as hell, and I dragged my best friend out there to help. So, after having my junkyard wonder sitting engineless for about 3 months, I finally have the engine in, wired up, and bolted together. JUST STARTED for the first time! I'm friggin giddy! I still have to throw the interior back together, fix the brakes, etc, BUT SHE RUNS!!! SO HAPPY! WOOT!

Just had to get that out of me! :fawk:

 

oh

you should kill your friend.

btw, lotta strife for SOHC.

 

the whole car is still under 3000... I can't complain. Just glad it's nearing the end!

 

that was by far the longest paragraph i have ever read in this forum... good to see that dedication and hard work pays through in the end... even though there are some SHADY people around... good luck with the rest of the car!!!

 

You should kick your so-called friend in the balzz

 

No ****! I heard he got hosed on that engine when he bought it too, but ****! you don't have to pass that on! I'm not! I'm reselling that thing really cheap!
