I remember when i was 18 i had 200 hundred to my name and i was walkin in maryland looking for a car. All on my mind was I'm not going to find anything for two hundred dollars, and was trying to find this honda my dad was talking about. I found this 89 lx 4 door rusted bad, so I called a tow truck friend who took it to my house and the work began.

My dad put like a grand in her but it still didn't pass inspection or emissions. Soo with luck and good friends and a little more money it passed, put a remote start 2 way pager on her and started to paint inside like the dash doors ect. but i had to get rid of the car.

My towtruck friend took a look under the car and told me i cant drive this car anymore because it was so rusted that he was wondering how the car didnt split in half on me. So i got a 98 accord, crashed that. Thats what happens when you dont pay attention while your driving, so i was bmw for a year that means "bus, metro, walk".

Bought a 95 civic, 90 accord, 92 civic and a Ford Taurus but didn't have money to get tags on all of them. I get cars super cheap, but i didnt keep any of them when i found out i was having a baby at 19. So im 21 now got my hands on a 86 lx-i 5 speed 4 door and here I am...

Fixed (I had serious troubles understanding your text), and welcome.

Welcome from Virginia, Home town Washington D.C.:cool: Hope you like it on here!!

[obdriver6]

Oh man that sucks but I'm glad nothing worst happened. What are your plans?

[hinchoDC]

Well the junk yard around my way is charging 100 for any engine and tranny less than 100. and i dont really find integra's or any B engine but what i do see everywhere is J series engines and many less than 120K miles. i have a friend that does custom work to cars and i could ask him to make me some mounts for the swap and axles but i dont know what else i need to do the swap i ask around but no one knows anything. i will love a complete list of EVERYTHING i need. if they can fit them engines in tiny civics i know it could fit in my engine bay

[obdriver6]

An j swap would be so COOL and if you do it, you would be the first one!!!

[hinchoDC]

really? you think it will be hard?

[obdriver6]

I'm not saying is impossible but be ready spend a lot of $$$$ and time!

[hinchoDC]

it will be the same with any engine im guessing. well doesnt hurt to try

[obdriver6]

it will be the same with any engine im guessing. well doesnt hurt to try

No, it doesn't but good luck!
