-- Posted by Juggalotus at 2:25 pm on June 26, 2008 Ok I was thinking about buying a beat up older civic for cheap then buying a v-tec engine and dropping it in. But where would I get a v-tec engine at? -- Posted by jpegg02 at 2:25 pm on June 26, 2008 intrawebs -- Posted by Juggalotus at 2:28 pm on June 26, 2008 Quote: from jpegg02 at 4:25 pm on June 26, 2008 intrawebs I mean what would be a good trustworthy site. -- Posted by mindydu0ng at 2:32 pm on June 26, 2008 http://www.hmotorsonline.com/ -- Posted by ScoobyDoo82 at 2:49 pm on June 26, 2008 Thats a completely stupid idea... but check a junkyard. -- Posted by Juggalotus at 3:55 pm on June 26, 2008 Quote: from ScoobyDoo82 at 4:49 pm on June 26, 2008 Thats a completely stupid idea... but check a junkyard.

I can buy a car and engine and be out under 10 grand. -- Posted by JeremyM at 5:17 pm on June 26, 2008 You could get a mid-90's civic and a v-tek for under 5 grand if you shop smart. -- Posted by hinshawwrx at 8:31 pm on June 26, 2008 Quote: from luvinmychica at 5:55 pm on June 26, 2008 Quote: from ScoobyDoo82 at 4:49 pm on June 26, 2008 Thats a completely stupid idea... but check a junkyard.

And you sound like a dumbass so i doubt you will be doing it yourself... expect to pay ATLEAST 1K in labor for the swap. -- Posted by Juggalotus at 9:47 pm on June 26, 2008 Quote: from JeremyM at 7:17 pm on June 26, 2008 You could get a mid-90's civic and a v-tek for under 5 grand if you shop smart. Ya but if build it myself i am talking about a car with zero miles on the transmission or the engine. not to bad of a deal to me. Maybe I am just seeing it wrong. -- Posted by ScoobyDoo82 at 1:50 am on June 27, 2008 Quote: from hinshawwrx at 11:31 pm on June 26, 2008 Quote: from luvinmychica at 5:55 pm on June 26, 2008 Quote: from ScoobyDoo82 at 4:49 pm on June 26, 2008 Thats a completely stupid idea... but check a junkyard.    Why would this be  stupid idea?

OP: It is a completely STUPID idea to buy a NEW car and swap a POS engine into it. Don't waste your money. -- Posted by hinshawwrx at 5:17 am on June 27, 2008 I'm LOLing at this person thinking a v-tec engine is something incredibly great. -- Posted by Holden Commodore at 10:52 am on June 27, 2008 it's not v-tec or v-tech, it's VTEC. -- Posted by Holden Commodore at 10:53 am on June 27, 2008 Quote: from luvinmychica at 3:55 pm on June 26, 2008 Quote: from ScoobyDoo82 at 4:49 pm on June 26, 2008 Thats a completely stupid idea... but check a junkyard.
