I located a single stock rim on Ebay and have that picked up, so the RSX wheels are mine now too. The airbags popped everywhere so the steering wheel, seats, etc. I'm going to take the above idea and strip the bag itself and re-seal the compartment with some type of adhesive and use 'em. Unless there's a way for us to be able to use the side impact airbags?
When I got back today, someone had already came and taken the entire body from the windshield forward. There was a guy waiting to see if I was taking the seats. When I loaded the engine into the shop I had a guy walk up and try and "take a weak engine" off of my hands for 800 bucks. lol. I'm new to this- but I'm no retard!
And has anyone else been out to junkyards in the Metro-Detroit area lately- there have been a TON of totalling accidents lately with awesome cars. Another junkyard by my apartment has been seeing a decent amount of DSM's, EMII's, and even a 350Z. I helped a friend of mine pull 3 complete 4g63's out of a junkyard about 20 minutes from there. 3 of one of the highest demand motors, complete, in running condition, with 5 speed AWD trannies. For those of you in the know- they were even six bolts!
