Anyone interested in a JRSC for a B16? Purchased from RedstandardHatch and never bolted up.

Also will be up soon will be my white 89 civic si project. It needs a hood and r & L bulkhead pieces, but has a B16 swap, mudflaps (f & R), NS Front strut bar, good interior, SI Swirls and the coveted floormats.

I wont be parting out just yet, I need to see what the interest is in the complete car. While it's in my garage, I may go ahead and get the hood and bulkhead pieces and at least button it back up.

I've been putting off selling it because I really dont want to, but I may have to.

Not really hard times, just hard descisions. Trying to help out where I can. As a father, I am more prepared to set aside my hobby if needed, I'm sure many of you guys have or are doing the same.

Others projects will present themselves when they can.

Vega, the hatch looks good, how solid is the mounting? Any movement?

Nah it fits so tight that it was even hard to get it on. When i did it with just the two screw tabs on the side of the bumper it would slide down on the center but the brackets hold it up. All i know its a real tight fit so it ain't going no where.

yeah it sux...i've had to sell my Civic one time before for my family, will do it again if i have to but the only hard times i'm falling on is not have the $$$ for HPDEs i need to get in as much time on the track as possible this year so that i know what to buy for my car...outside of getting another steering wheel, eventually getting a B16 or GSR transmission, and fixing stuff, i'm done with my car...nothing else i need to get....although getting my car painted woldn't be a bad idea, not something i need at the moment

Hard times must be a relative phrase. If you own a vehicle of any sort, you are in the top 3% wealthiest people in the world.

I'm so rich, I have three cars, two of which have a house of their own!

I'm in the other direction when it comes to money. I can afford my car but i can't afford to mod it, unless its stuff that is free thats already been sitting around.
The market sucks too for selling parts as well

we solve the problem with the Cruiser by not driving it unless one car is out of commission or for family trips...and as far as selling parts...i have the same stuff i've been trying to get rid of since i did my swap in October...to get rid of stuff i've been organizing swap meets...noone still buys my stuff

I broke even on my Nardi after a year and a half and have had tons of interest in the wagon so far. Used part market seems okay to me. If anything, people will keep their older cars and need replacement parts as opposed to buying new cars. Could be good news, only God knows.

Nice. I'm ordering up the same a-arms as I've yet to see a product that doesn't slip. Hopefully those won't with the nice backing plates.

I need to up my camber to -4 degrees.

anyone know the tq spec on the mounting plate bolts of the camber kit? The bolts that go through the ends of the camber kit that mount to the shock tower.
