so my friend had this turbocharged civic...it just got recently stolen and they found it stripped...



and hez giving it too me if it is fixable...wat kind of swap would b good..like what engine i should get and is it worth fixing it up if i get the car for free?? plzz give me sum input =] thanks guys i forgot to put that pic up...

 

for the engine...u might wanna check out the FAQ at the top of the page....i'm sure the car can be fixed but you might be fukced on the wiring...good luck though

 

would be worth it if you're looking for a serious project.

 

yeah hopefully the wiring is not all hacked up

 

my friend said the ecu was RIPPED out so wat if it is?? how big of a job is that?

 

dammmnn stripped, how long was it gone for?

 

it got stolen last wendsday...im not sure wen it was found..so about less than a week

 

sorry for the loss, but looks like a money pit, just forget it ... get a new car..

 

if thats the case, i believe you gotta get everything legit and take it to the highway patrol for inspection. anyone wanna second this? youre gettting a free car. from the pics it doesnt look like youre going to be spending much to bring it back. definitely no more than $1000 if you drop in another D series. even if the wires are hacked up. just hop in the salvage yard and get OEM REPLACEMENTS there.

 

Just get it for free and sell it to somebody who wants a project, if you dont want it.
Make a little $$ while saving a civic from the junk yard

Exactly. You're going to get nickeled and dimed to death on it.

 

I'll buy it for $5 dollars

 

if u do decide to get it and want to sell it or something let me know i might buy it i live in Connecticut, i see u are in NY

 

why is there a honda badge on the dash?

 

its free...take it part it out then sell the rest to a junkyard or scrap metal yard...the interior still looks pretty good

 

If you wanna keep it, then it should become a full race car. IE. You take EVERYTHING out and put only necessary stuff in. This means the wiring wouldn't be a problem.

Or take it and do like posted above. Take it, part it out, and sell the rest to a scrap metal yard.

That's what I would be worried about.

 

Ill buy the complete center dash piece, you know where the radio and stuff goes. PM me please i live in NY also.

 

I would take it in a heartbeat. A few of the cars I have owned have been way worse than that and I had them completed in less than 4 weeks. Jump on it if its free

 

i would jump on that. free project car~!

 

take it. if anything just part it out.. You can probably make 1500 off random parts. I do it alot with salvage title cars from auction. That car is for surely rebuildable and you can do it. Hondas are easy to work on.. Good luck with the project man! I know these cars like the back of my hand.. Let me know if you have any speficic question. I think you'd be amazed what the car would look like with all the junk and broken parts cleaned out
