Default Hybrid owners...what did you do with your original setup?

Just curious. I have my CX with 112k, but ran great. A/C and all.

Is this worth anything to anyone?

What should I do with it?

Mine is becoming a spare race motor for the shop car. You can sell them, bring them to the junkyard for a little bit scrap money, throw them away bit by bit in the trash.

I have my old CRX Si engine with 240,000km's on it. It's a spare parts donor for my brother's recently-purchased stock CRX Si. It's beautiful having two CRXs in the house!!

My D16 engine is still at the shop. I really don't know what to do with it or who would buy it. It's only got 91K. I'm sure it would make a good engine for a go-cart.

LMAO. haha.

Well, the 125 hp Si engine isn't a bad engine. You could probably sell it and get some money for more mods on your DOHC VTEC.

i have my 93 si sohc vtec sitting in my garage (I know what you mean about it 'whispering' every time I step foot into the garage). I am hoping to find a cheap 92-95 civic w/ blown motor so I can build myself a daily driver for winter
