Hey guys! I just got a 86 sport from a friend of mine for a blown Honda civic! Anyway the engine is toast (He overheated it coming back from sac) but I'm looking for somewhere to get a rebuild done (if possible) The car only has 76k original miles on it! I'll try and post pics soon...there is a little body damage (guy hit a dear >.<) in the front and some in the back as well. If anyone knows of anywhere i can get a rebuild done relatively close that would be awesome. Also, how much do the usually cost? Thanks everyone for checking my thread out.


Pics soon!

 

Could do it yourself with a more knowledgeable friend or fellow forum member..

 

Get ahold of Junpower here on the forum. He does rebuilds for the bay, and I think he will come to you. Good luck.

 

X2 on Junpower.

but you might have to go to him. Lol

 

I would love to do it myself but I really don't trust myself yet. Nor do i have the space or the tools. I will try to get ahold of Junpower then. Thanks guys! I just went out to clean it up a bit. It needs some tlc but im sure in a few months she'll be looking pretty good. I have 700 plus a month to blow so...

 

Damn, that must be nice

 

Hahah in a way...but i ve just been saving to buy an FC. But when a buddy of mine was like "I can't take the headache anymore" i told him i'd trade him a blown 90 honda civic hatch. the tranny casing on the honda was cracked too...I'm pretty sure i got the better end of the deal...

 

It's amazing what some guys will trade for a busted *** Civic hatch

 

I know. Pretty ridiculous eh?

 

an rx for a civic? wow congrats, cocaine is a hell of a drug! i got mines for $200

 

The cocaine, or the seven?

Anyways, great trade.

 

i guess it's an even trade. Dead car for better dead car.

Clearlake might be too far from JUNPOWER (Unless he tows it to him) but he and Karack are good.

If you're north of SAC then Karack
If you're south of SAC then Junpower

 

So your saying you want to tow the car and have someone else rebuild it? If you had the space - the money you would spend on labor would buy you the tools. + you could add small upgrades on while your there like a new clutch

 

and if ur in sac like me???????? haha, just rebuilding it myself

 

lol. Yeah, I'm gonna try on a spare motor one day.

 

Yup you're more in Karack's area go to him or bringyour short block over here to the bay!!

Thanks for the reff guys.

 

Clearlake is north of sac. Its a small town full of tweakers and idiots. I guess i should get ahold of Karack.

I asked a friend who has the tools and garage space to do it but there in the middle of building 3 cars right now...sooooo thats a no go. theres another buddy i have who might be able to help me...i would love to try and do it myself...but i have a feeling i might end up scowing craigslist for motor.
