Either the oil pump let loose or I spun a bearing. Nothing catastrophic, but definately blown up (oil light on and lots of RPM dependent metal on metal)

Not sure what I should do at this point... Sell it as is, part it out, or maybe do a swap )which I really can't afford.

how many miles were on the rebuild?

and that car is clean!

 

Hey Ive seen that one around before, the guy selling it traded his ITR for that car and some money. I think I would do a swap, that car's too nice and has too many parts to just be sold as a shell.

 

That's me.... I traded my Mugen ITR and some cash (lots of it) for this EF. I never really wanted it - maybe that's why it blew up!

My problem is that I have two other real race cars - D Modified Hatchback - ITA CRX - that take up a lot of time and money. I really don't want to hassle with another project right now.

I believe there were 30,000 miles on the rebuild. The motor came out of an ITA CRM race car, so I'm not really surpised that it let go at 30k. Usually those motors only last a year or so.

If anyone is interested in parts let me know.

 

hmm that sucks welcome to the blown oil pump club. Leat its not gonna cost you 6 grand like it did to me. Adam and art have a single cam swap thouhg just to get her running again.

 

your selling it as is for 4k? Give me a call at 414-803-4087. I might be interested..or would you trade for a clean 95 ZX-6R piped/jetted and tuned by the buell race team? Im having some problems with my civic and Im looking for a super clean shell..Im in Milwaukee also.

Do you need a car to get around? If you do, then i suggest to just rebuild this motor that you have. You have a lot of good parts that if you sell em and start from scratch, you'll probably end up paying for more and not even get the guarantee that the motor will last. You can sell the Mugen wheels for starters and use the $1200 to get you back running...With all the swaps going around, I'm sure you'll find a D16a6 for cheap...say $500 and use the rest of $$ to make sure it doesnt break again. just my 02...thats a really good looking ride you have.

 

No I was selling it for $4k before the motor blew up. I'd sell it for $2500 as is.

 

and that..my friend..is one HELL of a deal.

 

Ok, so 2500 for shell, and everything on it? The only that won't be with the car is the motor, correct. Shoot, for 2500.00 you might be sold.
-are you still going to leave the blown motor in it with all parts?

$2500 would be a good deal. I don't know if you want to go through the hassle of the swap versus how much it would bring in additionally but check out this post:

https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=278353
rebuilt D16a6 with 50k for $250..just a thought.

Wish I had that one and two other race cars

 

just find a D16/D15 for it for cheap, and throw it in...

 

tell ya what.... i can get a Z6 vtec head for 100... i can make a mini me off my old D15, mate the vtec head, rebuild it and sell it to ya for 500..... what u say?

 

how much do u want for the springs and struts give me a decent price and ill buy them let me know jdmracing@aol.com

 

Well if you can afford 4000 on another car, get a sohc vtec swap for 400 or so, that will work good.

 

TTT....

$2500 as it sits (the motor has some pretty trick parts - throttle body, intake manifold, etc...

 

any chance you can ship the car for 3k?
Let me know
NJ located
does it still run or is the car shot?
No rims coming with it for that price right?

 

I really don't want to ship it..... It comes with nice Rota Circuit 8 rims.

 

TTT....you traded an ITR for that EF?...you got more cash from the deal right?

 

Yep everyone made out on the deal. It's just a bummer that the motor blew up! Oh well **** happens Luckily I have 3 other honda's in the garage

 

i love those mugen rnrs

 

i wanna see how bad it got killed?
come on show some death pics

 

i'll trade you my accord for it... IM you. If you need a super reliable car and confterble too then it's a win win situation. check out my accord, i'll be in greenbay in about a week or so. I always wanted 2 4thgen black civic hatchback Si... sweet now i can go with two different setups. gotta see my car man i can email you the pix what's you email address?

 

Bummer...the car was so nice too

good luck selling

 

"Wish in one hand, **** in the other - see which one fills up first"

If I lived even remotely close, I'd scrape that up in less than one second. I need another EF like I need.....I don't but those pics look like it's an ultra nice HB.

1071 miles from my house...I just checked.
