going to the junkyard (suggestions)

[Jerren]

I feel like taking a trip to the junkyard this weekend. what kind of things can i get that may help my cars performance. like any goodies from preludes and other cars whose parts will fit well with ours?

[dhcarss]

prelude!! H22

[TeKKnoTeKK]

don't really know about performance stuff you could get but one idea is a CRX lip lol

[AccordChemist]

crx lip(s), se-i rear disks, prelude/crx seats, prelude upper arms, armrest, cupholders....

[POS carb]

you aren't going to find anything newer than 1989 at a pull-it-yourself lot sorry man

[Jerren]

great advice mike.

[Jerren]

what year prelude will these parts be coming from?

[1988starter]

Get me a cam shaft from a 88 or 89 LXi 5 speed and I will pay you back and for shipping .

Hey POS, you should come to some of the pull it yourself yards here in Ohio. There are a lot of 4th Gen Accords and 3rd Gen Preludes in the yards up here. I even saw a 5 gen Accord the other day.

[joshuabrack99]

so the rear disc from the 89 se-i will bolt right on to the 89 lxi or is there more involved- could someone clue me in please because there is nothing I would love to do more than getting rid of these damn drums

Ahhh those days are long gone in Australia, you cant go into junk yards now pretty much without knowing exactly what you want, and you must be accompanied by someone who works there.

Now we've some major insurance crisis lately and the cost of excess and premiums and annual insurance rates have skyrocketed. Now everyones scared if an accident happens they cant afford it.

If you go out there without someone accompanying you, you wont be covered by their insurance...and if something happens to you, you can sue them...(i think that's how it all works)

So well....

Yeah I've got the same experience as pos carb, I never see any 4th gens or newer. I saw a 4th gen once, but never again. Might be a california think.

Jerren U wrench it on Hall Street had and 89 accord se-i just like my 2door for like 2 months. I couldnt post so I couldnt tell you. I have the cupholders from it because I have the Cd player instead just thought it would be nice to have a set. And I also got the steering wheel, radio, sei emblem, bose speaker emblems and the seat handels because one of mine was broken. So I picked up all of them in case any others break. Sorry I couldn't tell you but I couldnt get registered. Anyway I know a couple of good junkyards in the St.Louis area.

good luck Jerren ! i would search for some stuff that are expensive when new like the ignitor , prelude arms , discs !
