alex37211 Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 I may just sell it as-is and let some one else try and fix it. I'm not sure yet. It's just body damage and a radiator core support. It seems to have been side swiped or put in a wall on the interstate or something. I'm just glad the bags didn't pop. BTW, if anyone is interested, I'd sell it as-is for $5,500. Or after I have it fixed, probably $9k. KBB value is $10,700 in good condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elusiveshame Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 if you fix it up, you might be able to get 9k for it.... as it sits though.... I wouldn't pay $1,000 for it, I don't care how well the engine runs, or what was told about the damage.. that still a lot of work, time, effort and $$ to dump into that While they're nice when they're stock/modded, that one I wouldn't even think twice about buying >.< Hopefully you can restore it back to the way it looked (or better), and you enjoy it, otherwise, good luck selling it.

Nancy Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 you should save the engine, sell the shell and use the money from that sale to swap everything into your honda. a k20a2 alone goes for 4k at the cheapest. edit- you can even pull the complete suspension and sell that alone for like $1000, an em2 or ep3 enthusiast that wants to convert to 5 lug would be all over that.

chris_agu28 Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 If you ever decide to sell the engine, you will make a good bit of money. Plus who knows.. I might the one buying it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_agu28 Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 That is what I am talking about. I bet that motor I just fine. Mainly body damage. I can't believe I missed this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex37211 Posted June 3, 2008 Author Share Posted June 3, 2008 You guys got the world exclusive so far. The car is supposed to be dropped off today. The shipping company has been taking their sweet time about delivering it. It was supposed to be Thursday! I'm waiting for the truck from Atlanta (I'm in Nash. TN). These pics are the only ones I've seen so far too. It did have "run and drive verification" from the insurance auction. When it gets here, I'll post some more detailed pics of the engine bay and maybe a video of it running or something. There's a similar one on ebay with front impact damage and both air bags popped ($1,000) and it's got a price of like $5900. The ad looks a little sketchy because they don't show a pic from the angle of the worst of the damage (front passenger) they show the other 3 corners. Sketchy ebay junkyards! I bet that suspension is bent to hell. The axle may have even been shoved into the tranny. I've seen that before. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...856227&rd=1 If it actually sells, I'll just sell mine on ebay and get like an 06' or something. One with the K20Z1.

chris_agu28 Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 I like the color but I bet the frame is bet out of shape. If I had the money I would invest in it. But sadly I don't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubbith Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 I'd probably look into parting it out... bet you could pull more than 5000 for it.. it might just take you some time.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cranny Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 02-04 is better overall than the drive by wire cars. drive by wire = no good imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex37211 Posted June 3, 2008 Author Share Posted June 3, 2008 02-04 is better overall than the drive by wire cars. drive by wire = no good imo. Did the 05+ use DbW? I did a little search and found this guy who says it doesn't. http://www.superhonda.com/forum/f22/what-y...ve-wire-312463/ Then I looked at some reviews and found this: Drivetrain Technology Drivetrain available -front-drive All-wheel steering -Not available Steer by wire -Not available Brake by wire -Standard Drive by wire -Standard Now when it says "drive" by wire, does that mean throttle!?!?!?

Ben. Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Drive by wire is the sh*t involving no throttle cable, I thought. My work van has it. I hate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex37211 Posted June 4, 2008 Author Share Posted June 4, 2008 That bastard towing company FINALY brought the sex. It looks better than I was expecting (the front of it anyways). The side is definitely gonna need a cut. Oh and I didn't notice before, but I gotta get the damn windshield replaced. The radiator and condenser aren't even broken! I'll need a radiator support, re-bar, body parts, etc. If anyone has anything I can use, feel free to PM me. Check out these pics! I think the guy that was driving had a milkshake or something when he wrecked and apparently had a whole lot of change close-by too, cause there is about $1 worth of change stuck to the driver's door. I'm already making money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alex37211 Posted June 6, 2008 Author Share Posted June 6, 2008 Well I just snatched up another rsx. This one one will be used for parts to fix the other one. It's way cheaper than buying all the parts (I'll actually make money on it in the end). It's not a type-s though. But it is a 5-speed! Anyone want a K20A3 swap?

Yes yes it is, the 2004 is dead even with the new Si... in 3rd the Si pulls to about 2 or 3 cars, then at about 80 - 130 the bonni pulls right back up to the door, and both top out at 130 governed... i tried it when i was home, raced my home boys 08 Si.. it was FUN FUN FUN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So alex, what are the plans for the motor in the type s rsx? Well I've got the type s up on the rack as we speak. It's being repaired. I got the quarter panel skin and left door put on from the other rsx and ordered a fender, front bumper, rebar, and headlights. $545 just for those parts I ordered. I'm so glad I got that parts car. Those doors alone, I've seen for $400 a piece. And the quarter panel would have easily run me $500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
