when i got my car it had a gay "type R" e-brake handle so the other day i was on craigslist looking for a stock one because i hate the one i have, well i found someone parting out a civic they bought at an auction just to take the motor and tranny well, long story short i got a bunch of stuff off him for cheap E-brake handle($10) inner tail lights because my were scratched($17) and some misc. screws and stuff, well i asked him, can i see your car? he brought me around the corner and he put the motor from the ex into a 99 SI i was like wtf?!?!?! he made his car slower by A LOT it just cracked me up, for once i felt like i could smoke an SI!

no he blew the b16 and couldn't afford another one so he bought the crashed ex for $400 at an auction and put the single cam in there, and it was electric blue

Sounds like a smart plan to me. :what:

Don't have enough cash for a new B16... get a cheap Y8 out of a parts car you bought. Sell the rest of the car for profit.

$400 for a running car sounds decent imo.

Oh yeah, and it's Electron Blue Pearl.

he might sell it as is to someone ... anyone remember that girl from oregon who posted on here for a little bit and had a 2000 si with a d16y8 and didnt know it? Then she figured it out and went back and hustled the seller cause he didnt tell em.

I say for 400 bucks he should been able to find a block and swap everything over. I blew my ringlands and got a new stock block for 250 then i just swapped out everything over form the old motor and threw it in. But its his ride/money, let him do what he wants. its also better then having a dead ass car.

and i TOTALLY agree.. i mean who are we kidding.. sure it doenst make as much power.. but a b16a2 isnt exactly all that much faster than a d16y8... i actually find the a2 to be a pretty blah motor...
