I just got 2 illusive '88 CRX doors really nice shape, no dents, just a minor spot of rust on the rear lower corner, that my door caps will cover anyway, a pair of '91 EX knuckles for CRXToad, and a Tracker throttle body for my other friend, all for $200. $50 a door, $50 for both knuckles and $50 for the throttle body. I love my local junkyard. Now unfortunitly I have more paintwork to do........

Woot Woot!!!!

I wish when I went to a scrap yard that there would be a nice find. Best found I found was a 01 Prelude crashed with motor (which I bought for 2000$, and sold for 3000$ haha) anda 90 Civic that I stole every body panel and interior panel and tranny from. I go to junkyards like it's going out of style.
You go lucky man, nice find!!!

Anybody got a glass roof they wanna come off of, might as well do that too. Otherwise I'm getting a DX roof. I hate Si sunroofs. I so wish i would have gotten a 88 HF to start with. Oh well live and learn. 8 years ago I didn't know ****, what can I say.

We could have a CRX Meet at Mid Ohio for the NASA championships, and also I could take people to the local yards. We could deplete all of their CRX parts, so then I won't have any to pick through anymore. Thats OK though I'm sure they'll get more. It's just an idea I've been kicking around.

A little FYI for you. A glass roof is 16lbs lighter than my current roof.

From what I remeber the Si Roof is 29lbs heavier than a HF roof, and a Glass Roof is 16lbs lither so it is 13lbs heavier than a HF roof. I dunno though, it's hard for me to justfy an extra 13lbs in the highest point of the car. I might just get a HF roof.

Bart and I have the screwest parts network in the US. We have people searching for Honda parts in several states and several people in those states. Heck I am going to be out in AZ with some of our buddies and what will I be doing Sat. going to 1/2 off day at the junkyard!!!
Up here all we have is http://www.car-part.com haha. It's an only database of junkyards. Best way to find almost anything. I only have 3 scrap yards in my area. I have to drive over 100kms to the next one...it does save ALOT of time to know what's there already.

None of the yards I go to are on car-part. hence the reason they have a good stash of stuff. I am having a CRX meet now thanks to this thread.

I can get b18's all day for $100.
Problem is they have 100K++++ miles on them and are basically worth nothing as-is except a core. You've got to remember most cars are in the junkyards because they explode on the highway and left, or they get a repair bill they can't afford, or something along those lines.
I'm sure yours is the same way, in which case I've got to ask you why you think that's a good deal!?
Sure most junkyards will give you a 30 day warranty, but you're out all that labor to install an old junked up motor just to find out when you go to start it it's got some major problems.

Are you serious??? I can get these motors cheap and turn around and sell them for double or triplr what I pay even if they have 300K...Honda motors with 100K are far from done, and if I can get them cheap even if they need a rebuild I'll just throw another one in...why pay $600 for a low milage motor when i can have 6 for that price? My teg has over 250K on it and runs like a champ, have you been to a junk yard some cars are in great condition but got hit and totalled because of where they were hit, but i guess to each there own, I'd assume most people are with me on this one

I could probally do a frontend for about $100. I just talked to one of my buddies I went to school with about this idea, he is part owner of one of the 5 yards in our town and he is gonna start buying more old hondas to make sure he has a fresh stock for us.
