Timing belt, water pump, tie rod, and calipers ordered and an route. Surprised at initial parts availability.

I wish I could have taken your Vic off your hands, that thing was great. Good luck on this horrifying monstrosity, though! I really hope it doesn't bring about your grisly doom.

So is parts price the sort of thing where you'll be having a fire sale of duplicate organs, or fairly reasonable? Brigdh posted:Probably floating level indicators for the low fluid warning light. Makes sense. The Niva uses a weird variant of the same idea with a float on a shaft. I'm not really fond of how the shaft protrudes from the lid. That Honda design would avoid that. Assuming it's not just because the PO was a hateful person.

That same kind of float is pretty common on a lot of 80s Japanese cars but it's usually used for the gas gauge. I would imagine it's a pretty common part in that era.

Timing belt and water pump come out to $116 shop supplies, coolant, parts, and labor so not too bad. Tie rod is apparently the most expensive part for some reason, maybe it's hard to find/unique.

Didn't those early honda's have motorcycle engines? hayabusa swap? It probably wouldn't be that fast but it would sound cool as poo poo.

- Can you drive a stick? Yeah. - Put it into second, let it roll, and when I say "pop it," pop it. "Pop it?"

Hayabusa swap? Why would you put a Suzuki engine in a Honda? Keep it original, and by that I mean CBR1100XX swap.

My brother had one when I was in my mid teens. I remember once driving to Edmonton and asked him to pull over to take a piss. He said no, just lift up the floor mat and piss through the gaping hole in the floorboards.  Which I did. He totalled it later that summer when rubbernecking at some girls and he hit the curb. The frame rail buckled.

Nodoze posted:Can you VTEC swap this? It's possible but difficult. Apparently the most common and easiest swap for these things is to drop in a motor from an early Accord, which gives a significant power boost and goes in without too much hassle.

The only reason the one brake works is thanks to the diligence of thousands upon thousands of Nano-spiders applying all eight legs down onto the warped surface of the formerly-metal rotor. Just wait until they find out about his tats.. they may even start drawing fluid from the various rust-and-coolant puddles, and finish off his sleeve in delightfully toxic colors as he slips into a coma. Meanwhile the larger bretherin begin to spin webs between his digits. Of course, this brew will cause further mutations. The next time we see him, we very well may be facing the one - the ONLY, 13" DICK WITH EGGSAC.

It's stock and if I were to guess it was to protect the turn signals there. Or they just felt like it, I don't know.

So does my memory of a few cars owned by friends over the years. I can't say I've ever seen that bar before, though it could have been a dealer option. Definitely not factory as far as I can find, but it's ugly enough that I assume it was installed by a dealer. randomidiot fucked around with this message at 10:56 on Oct 23, 2013 |

Huh, most of the pictures I'd seen of early Civics had the bullbar and of course now they're all coming up with plain bumpers. I have no idea, but I've seen them before.
