Rick B. Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 sorry about your sol man. i used to live at ft lewis a few years back and the neighbor hoods around there were kinda scary, especially tilicom. you would get more money out of parting the car out but it might take longer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catawalks Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 I find it funny that all the broken glass is still on the seat. Does that mean that whoever stole it was dumb enough to leave all the glass there and just sat on it? I hope that they now have more holes in their ass than they are supposed to those filth bastards!

TS John Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Oh, man. That sucks. My condolences, man. And you had just fixed that front end after the accident. Good thing you bought the insurance from the dealer after all, eh? Best of luck with whatever you decide on doing with it. If you do happen to want to part it out, I've been needing a passenger side door (free of dents) for quite a while now. Yours isn't the right color as ITR_Girl's was, but she never really got back to me. Let me know via PM what you decide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EH6TunerDaniel Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Also, If you do decide to part it out eventually, I need both doors free of dents, I will let John have first dibs tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catawalks Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 lol...we are so sensitive to his problem. Well...since everyone else is asking I'll jump on the bandwagon...I need a Throttle Position sensor...or maybe just a new throttlebody with sensor...as long as the sensor is good.

redcoats1976 Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 this is jind of like stealing a horse in the old west.IMO the solution should be the same.catch some one stealing a car,hang them.bet it would cut down on 2nd offenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99CiViCSi99 Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 ^agreed. yea if u part it. i want the seats... w/o seat covers of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonnyjc3 Posted July 9, 2006 Author Share Posted July 9, 2006 well i can see why they didnt steal the cd player, because you have to remove like 18 panels to get it out. but yah nothing was stolen besides a case of cd's. ill keep you all posted when i find out how much they are going to sell it back to me for. see i wanna part it out cuz i know i can make mad money out of it, even if i sell everything like cheap. like seats for 100, engine for 200 or w/e, but when it goes beyond body panels and seats etc; stuff like engine pieces i wouldnt know how to take that stuff apart.

CRG7 Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Sorry to hear about your Sol. Your best bet is probably parting it out and eBay'ing the parts (those that no one on here wants to claim lol), then having the chassis removed, or taken to a local junkyard.

sonnyjc3 Posted July 10, 2006 Author Share Posted July 10, 2006 um, my car was originally red. but yah, if i do part it out im not trying to like wait 87 years for the whole thing to go. so i'd try to make everything cheap. i mean that engine im sure could sell for like 600 bucks or so, its only got 80,000 miles on it. but im sure no one is going to spend 600 bucks on a single non vtec when they can probably find a jdm z6 for just a lil bit more.

blackdelsol Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 ask around 2-300 for the motor. you can get motors with about 30k miles for around 500 i think. the targa top shouldn't be hard to sell. the lights are ruined I assume? the tails are nice I think, the suspension ok?

sonnyjc3 Posted July 10, 2006 Author Share Posted July 10, 2006 good luck finding one for 3500 and i hope u got loot for the b20 swap...o and about the seats..? well i did find a vtec for 3690 its black, and its at a dealership. it looks pretty good, and so i figured i can buy just the bottom of the b20 for 600 and use the b16 head and tranny thats already on the car. and that should still leave me 1500-2000 to boost it. about the seats, i wont have a definite answer until tuesday or wednesday when they give me a value for my car etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonnyjc3 Posted July 10, 2006 Author Share Posted July 10, 2006 ok, but ur not boostin ut car for 2g's... eh i was afraid of that, if need be, i might end up buying an ebay kit for 800 and over time replacing all the parts one by one until i have a nice reputable system. is the crvtec fast just by itself? liek if i did just put a b20 bottom on a b16 head and tranny what kinda hp would i be looking at?
