MindBomber

Here's how it works,

If your chillin out on ebay or craigslist and see a wicked deal or something cool that you want to share with the group here, post up a link with a few words about what you saw. It could be a rice bucket car, a killer modified car, rare part or just an amazingly good deal; it doesn't even need to be car related.

Be smart about this though guys, if your planning on buying the item you post up wait until transaction has been completed. The last thing we need is members fighting, because someone scooped a deal from another member.

Also, do not post something that you see on ebay and think is a good deal if it has 6 days left!

I'll start, but no links or pics as of yet.
I bought a k20a3 with an extra head and a pile of extra parts for $100 off craigslist. It came from an EP3 owner who swapped to a k24a2.

My rims were $120 off craigslist; they have a bit of curbage but came with 90% tires. It was an older guy who actually delivered them to me from an hour away, he said that he told his son to get his wheels out of his garage, but he didn't so he took the initiative to sell them.

This is the story of the father telling his son he sold his rims through smilies.

(countdown for off-topic reply in off-topic forum to be deleted: 5... 4... 3... 2...)

MindBomber

haha no, the k20 was a local sale.

do you really think that we'd delete an off-topic post here?
Your forgetting, this is the friendliest and most off-topic Honda forum there is!

I am still not banned, right? that answers the question
too much work, brain is mush at night

VTEC-4.0

Damn 02civicsi02 swapped in the K24?I know he got it last year,but I haven't seen his thread on it.Is the K20 in your Civic MindBomber?

MindBomber

Not yet, picking it up in a day or two since the seller is on a business trip then starting a bottom up rebuild before it goes in.

I have big plans, a big credit card bill eventually too, but that will be discussed in an upcoming thread. Basically, this motor will be a long term project that will likely see more than one chassis owned by me.

CRV? 4WD conversion DIY

MindBomber

haha I wouldn't even consider attempting that if I didn't have $15k and a fully equipped shop. I wonder what happened to our prior AWD conversion dreamer?

KaiserS

found a discount coupon for the 2011 Civic at easycardiscount.com while looking for reviews
it sounds good and looks legit but is it true? car discount coupons for $700 for free? whats the catch?
anyone use them before?

MindBomber

Go ask the dealership if they'll honor it, they're common around here.

F**king CL scammers! Too stupid too realize where the real money is. It's like you mention CL and here they come out of their holes.

mac25

bahhh! hate you mindbomb, now we can't be friends! k20! JK.

my 17's with 90% tred were $300, craiglist, i saw cheaper but i liked the five spoke look.

my megnaflow cat. back, craigslist $150 (mint condition perfect chrome). new they're like over $350.

e-mange blue, with harness (s2k =( ) and software $300 form craigslist. would have been a good deal but now i have to add $100 for a civic harness.

MindBomber

^Haha I knew you'd be jealous, it needs a lot of work though so it won't be swapped in for quite some time. Even if I parted it out though I could sell the parts individually for a least 3-4x what I paid.

Are you going to sell the s2k harness?

I found a new in the box revo short shifter for $20 and DC sports short shift adapter for $15 on craigslist.

I just got both because they were so cheap.

mac25

ya i'll get around to it. do you need one for the k20, does the s2k ecu use the same pins as the k20? if so i'd sell it to yu for like half price cause i know yu, $50 or maybe if you had something to trade we could do that, if the harness even works with the k.

MindBomber

K series motors have a different harness I believe, plus I'm going with hondata once I can afford it.

cmiller_01ex

2005 NSX with 1500 original miles!

BobDobolina

Thats a sweet effing car Mindbomber, even comes with factory TAPE player!! WTF were they thinking?!

Do they still make those? NSX's?

MindBomber

No, NSX production has stopped.

There was a V10 Ferrari killer NSX in concept stages, but the idea was scrapped when the economy tanked. Honda executives are continually insisting the NSX is dead and not coming back now..

BobDobolina

Sounds like there prepping for a comeback, ala camero...

mac25

i want a production hsv!!!!!!

MindBomber

Mac and I definitely can't be friends anymore after this pick-up..

A set of almost new RSX H&R lowering springs for $50, plus a few suspension parts that he included in the box.

H&R... they not well known in the miata world... hope they hold up well...

MindBomber

I've heard lots of good things about H&R over the years. I'm fairly confident that they'll hold up well, but if not then they were cheap enough that it won't be a huge loss.
