Found a donor car! 5 speed B18A dual carb 3G

[Steve_Si]

Cost me US$140, has 94,000 miles on the clock and actually goes really well. Pity, as it will never be driven again :P

It has all the wiring, brackets and switch for the 85/86 folding fog lights, but the fogs themselves are missing :(

Now I just gotta get that gearbox swapped over and i'll have a mint manual 3G Si.

[A18A]

good stuff :thumbup: im so jealous, you should swap the auto into it & sell it on haha

[forrest89sei]

CONGRATS!

i'll give you $1,200 USD Shipped! lol I wish :D

do you plan on selling what you don't need on the forum? :deal:

[Steve_Si]

lol

it's a pre-facelift so I don't think there is much on it that you guys would want. The corners are amber, no bumper pole or climate controls etc :(

Us north Americans would be interested in:

The Factory Spoiler, Tail Lights, Badges, Corner Lens if in good shape, things like that.

[Steve_Si]

Spoiler ain't factory but the other stuff you mentioned is in good shape.

[forrest89sei]

Yeah any of that stuff would sell, you might be able to make back what you paid for the car :D

Oh and Off Topic, Did you get your keys yet?

[LiTtLe xOx BitT]

I might be interested in some parts as long as your not like some of the other guys from NZ that want $100 plus shipping for corner lights.

[russiankid]

So are you going to do a 5-speed swap on yours now? Or the B18 tranny doesn't mount up to the B20?

[MessyHonda]

nice.

[snoopyloopy]

yes, b18a tranny mounts to b20a. that's what wohdog was running for the longest. and hey, are you willing to sell the long block. or at least ps + ac and their hardlines that connect to the pumps and the brackets.

[bullard123]

I might need that 5 speed transmission. We will see:rockon:

lol just ask him to find you another parts car...lol

[Steve_Si]

Yep Russiankid I'm gonna put that gearbox in my 3G. It has lower gear ratios than the B20A box so that's all good :D

I don't mind selling parts, but any ac parts may be needed to fix my ac and shipping would be a nightmare on the longblock. My plan was just to take the parts I need for the swap, and the fog light wiring/switch/brackets then just have some dismantlers yard come collect the rest.

I would want less than that for corners lol. Probably 30 + shipping or something.

cool...how much would shipping be to california?

im interested in the tail lights also

[snoopyloopy]

yeah, i know shipping would be horrible. but if have money later on in the year and you still have it, i'll give you a shout and see if it'll be doable for a reasonable price.

[Civic Accord Honda]

nice and that EXL-S Badge is cool

[Steve_Si]

Umm good question? I can ask at the local NZ Post store and see what they say. Anyway these corners are the old type and don't look as good as the facelift corners. Tail lights are nice though, I don't like the facelift ones :P

[thegreatdane]

We might need that engine for closer examination here at the 3G bureau of investigation (3G.B.I) headquarters :squint:

yeah we can test it out on my dx

[snoopyloopy]

i'll chip in for shipping for the good of the people...

[Civic Accord Honda]

if i could aford the front marker's i would buy them but no cash :(

[Steve_Si]

Ok the rubber around the corners is brittle and falling apart and there is a small part missing in the plastic surround in the right tail light. The motor is a POS B18A with a measely 135HP. It weighs the same as a B20A so I think the best place for that is a junk yard.

I will have good corners for sale when I get myself a 87-89 grille and corners :P

[ghettogeddy]

find out how much shipping in the rear spoiler would be to 94509

[Steve_Si]

It's not OEM i dunno what it's from. Cost would be $1 + shipping lol. But I think you could get something locally for less than the cost of shipping.

ok can you also do 1 buck plus shipping for the engine? i mean come on...we got 98 hp engines here.

[Steve_Si]

lol i will be happy to give the entire car away once I've taken the stuff I want :P But I got no idea how to take an engine out

[A18A]

all you need is a big driveway, the tools to undo everything, some rope, a towbar and a mattress for the engine to land on :) and then roll the car over :thumbup:

i wish chch was a few hundred k's closer :P

[carotman]

Hmm Nice car. I would really like some parts out of this one :D

Like:
Fog light wiring and brackets (I have the folding fogs hehe :D )
Center console and E-Brake brackets
Horn button

I know you want to help me :)

Haha if it was, i'd come over at night and steal your climate controls :P

Carotman I need those fogs! :crying: Although to be honest I haven't even tried looking for some yet.

I might need the centre console for the 5 speed swap, but it kinda looks like I could use my existing console. E-Brake bracket and button I can help with.

[AccordB20A]

just dont get a digital dash using a b18 gearbox... it will be very inaccurate...lol

[Steve_Si]

Plans have changed since then, I'm gonna be using the transmission from the F1 instead. My friend will then put the EXL-S gearbox in the F1 and use the F1 as his daily driver

[AccordB20A]

just remember with the car with the b18 box to get a b18 clutch not a b20 cause theyses be different lol
