my friends and I sold ours to a local repair shop. We didn't want much for them , and we didn't get much for them.. . but we needed to get them out of the way. Just ask around at different shops. *hold replies to this* we let them go for cheap, $250.00 a pop, d15 motors.

I took mine for a one way ride to an abandoned hotel.

-oh **** here comes the police! (wouldn't recommend illegally dumping it like I did. I got away with it, but I know that the cops wouldn't like that so much)

Pull EVERY sensor off of it. PULL as many nuts and bolts as you can and put them in a bucket. You WILL need some extra nuts and bolts, trust me.

My mom still doesn't realize that I did a swap. I just tell her the motor belongs to my friend.

im taking mine apart and selling what i can
the value of knowledge is more important than the 150$ the local shop tried to **** me for to buy my motor. 150$ for a full d16z6 with tranny and ecu
what an *******.

That is a damn good idea, thanks. Now when I do my swap, I am probally going to play around with the old motor, and eventually keep sensors and stuff for spare.

My d15 is sitting in my garage. The shop that did my swap wanted $75 TO GET RID OF my old motor. I had it hauled to my house in shrinkwrap and it sits on a pallet in my garage. The sensors have already come in handy.

My advise - DON'T THROW AWAY ANYTHING. Eventually you'll either need it or can sell it.
