Default no more cheap cable hydro conversions on ebay??

wow, did suddenly the market drop out on the 92-95 civics??

I was looking about 2 months ago and found at least 7 sellers competing for lowest price on cable/hydro mount + brackets but now that I need a set, I cant find any?? lol...

After reading reviews of even the more expensive kits, it isn't something you want to cut corners on.

doesnt bother me as I'm swapping the drivetrain to a new shell, painting the car, and selling it pretty much immediately.

as long as it holds up for a few months I'm good.

x3. Why would you want to go through all that trouble? If the motor is out, just sell the motor and sell the shell.

same here.

but it's funny to think of the hillbilly playing thug, buying his performance parts at the flea market, rollin' his hooked up honda, getting passed by minivans on the freeway. lol.

theres nothing wrong with cheap **** thats my middle name, but its different when your asking for help so that you can get something running long enough to sell it then break on somebody(which you did say you didnt care if it broke after the sale cause you wanted more money) thats not cool im sure youd be pissed if you paid 200 for a cable to hydro adapter and they mailed you a bag of rocks and twigs.im not trying to be a dick and it makes no sense to fight you over the internet cause it wont work ive tried it already.by reading your sig im gonna assume your a soldier and im sure they taught you integrity.good luck on your build or sale. SEMPER FI!

why not do the car right and have another honda enthusiast happy? that way when HE sells the car it might still be in good condition, then maybe a couple generations later the car will be in good condition?

makes no sence to me
