The 8 auto yards in my region got a call from me today, one of them is an insurance salvage yard, and I was looking for a late 80's EX-i. This is the breakdown of what I found
Place 1: 5 LX, 1 EX, 1 EX-i
Place 2: 1 LX, 1 EX
Place 3: 1 LX exactly like mine besides color***
Place 4: None
Place 5: 1 EX-i very badly wrecked
Place 6: None
Place 7: 4 LX, 4 EX, 2 EX-i
Place 8: 1 EX-i
Problem is, I was looking for an 88-89 or any of the others swapped to disc brakes in the rear. No dice. However, there must be a swapped car around here somewhere, because the very last place we went to had an 89 EX-i with no brakes at all.
Anyways, long story short I cant put rear discs on my car right now. Looks like I'll be keeping those pesky drums.
*** Looks like I'll be buying this car for parts, its from the insurance salvage yard, and for some reason its in mint condition but its in the "written-off" part of the lot. So unless it has some major mechanical issues, I'll probably be picking it up. Its an A1 engine with a 5spd and I think it had less kms on it than mine does. Either way, its got all the body parts I want to repair/replace and if it has less kms its even better.
I donno if some of you have been watching my Supercharged carb thread (http://www.3geez.com/showthread.php?t=43606&page=2) but this is the engine I will be working off of for fitment and what not.
Too bad I cant find an 88-89 exi though :( :uh:
