I posted this here because if there insurance decides to total the car i willbe buying it back from them i have a H22a h/i/e and full suspension, rims.. i would like to know how much of the stuff can i use off of the lude onto a civic hatch and how hard would it be to change the parts over from my crashed lude.

Thanks,
Jaime

*This is if it's totalled, I guess. Doesn't look that bad. You can use the motor(header, intake won't really fit right)/tranny and shift linkage for an EG. Keep the axles as cores to get custom ones made. Then all you need is mounts, 250-400, depending on brand. Part the rest of it out and put that money back into the motor/car.

H22's in Egs are very nice, reliable too. So if you want something much faster I highly reccomend. Even if your car isn't totalled, instead of fixing it, it wouldn't be that bad of an idea to take the money you get from insurance to have it fixed and buy an EG and part the prelude out and keep that money for other things. Just my 2 cents.

You know what dog.....I have owned many cars and I have crashed many cars, and yours doesn't look like it is totalled. I think you can keep it just as it is and put new bumper, fender, hood, and light on it and be good to go!!! If you put much time, effort , and money into it...keep it... NOT SO BAD TO ME....

Do you have any pics of with the hood up? because honestly it doesnt look that bad. That whole shifting of the bumper is because they pushed your bumper support so evrything went. More then likely that pulled your rad support.

So im thinking you need:

New rad support, bumper, lights, fenders.

I dont think its totaled.

Looks like you could fix it, just take some time and find used parts. It won't be a expensive as you might think
