CRX is totalled what should I do with the engine?
Heres a link to what happened
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=945545
heres a pic as it stands right now:
Well Im not sure what to do, the engine is okay, it shows no signs of cracks or leaking from what I can tell and I could start it after the accident but I only did once and let it run for about 3 sec.
AFter I pull the motor what should I do, Im parting the car out should i just cut my loses, and start fresh with somthing new meaning I have to sell the d16a6 for prob. only 2-300 bucks at best......
Or should I part out the car and in the meantime drive my beater while I build this motor for a turbo and go all out, then find anything from 88-95 that I can put it in, crx, civic hatch, or civic coupe???
since I can pretty much bolt it into anything.......keep in mind I can always slap a vtec head on this with a built bottom end and buy a turbo kit for it, then all I need is a clean rolling chassis...
??? I just need ideas.....

a built mini-me would be pimp, sorry about your loss, looks like it was very clean, if you get a EG you'll probally regret it and get another CRX

Re: CRX is totalled what should I do with the engine? (Sideout)
so it wouldnt be a bad idea to build this motor for a turbo and get everything motor wise together then find a CLEAN ef..???
I guess I can sell the motor after its built if decide I dont want an ef again.....Ive had two crx's now and they will always be my first love....
BTW this pic was taken the night of the accident Id just lowered it on H and R race springs and did the rest of my ES bushing kit THAT DAY...
the car def. sat lower then it looks, the stock muffler was about a good two inches if that from the ground....lol I loved it

Re: (SkipMic2006)
Well for those who didnt read the fulll story I was t-boned in the front end pretty much side blasted by a woman running a red light at 2:30 in the morning.
It turned into a hit and run and I couldnt go anywhere obviously look at the pictures...
theres more to it then what i just said read the other post if you wanna know all the details.
Ive been getting PMs like crazy, I really appreciate it but the car is still at the tow yard, im getting it towed to my garage tomorrow morning give me a week or so to strip the whole car down and estimate what im keeping and what im selling then ill post up a nice big FS post.
thanx to the guys who show some compassion for me, prob. the worst thing that has ever personally happened to me(btw I had liability only, full coverage owns me!!!)

Re: (SkipMic2006)
it sux the most cause overall the car was pretty clean but the front end and driver side was absolutley flawless, my sunroof was rusted a bit and the passenger side rear panels paint was faded from a shitty bondo/rust job fix by the previous owner from like 5 years ago, and the passenger door had been replaced with an 90, mines an 89 molding was diff. and the door was not aligned right, im just real picky and most people wouldnt notice it but I def. did

Re: (stmizner)
What type of shape is the shell in?? what chassis is it si, dx, hf?
Ive decided if I keep anything and get an ef, eg, dc2 its got to be CLEAN I dont want to deal with body damage,dents, scratches, rust again.
besides ive gotten like 100,000 pm's asking for parts from from other people and few offers from guys right around my area to take the car as a rolling chassis.

Re: (Smokinsax)
I hope they find the bitch who totaled your car. I'm starting on a CRX project myself. It's an 85. Needs body work and a new engine. I don't think I'll be able to afford to get it as beautiful as your car was tho. Sorry man.
