#100668 I found this one for sale and wanted to get opinions on it. Because I coming from the mustang world (no comment) I'm not sure what to look for. It's a shell obviously it use to have a B18 in it and I wanted to know if everything looks ok in terms of anything I'm missing from the engine compartment. (Please don't mention engine & tranny) It does have type r shift linkage. I mean in terms of brake lines etc.... Sorry the pics are so big. My plans are a simple B18C. Thanks for any help. Please don't hate on the NOOB!

#100669 everything looks to be there, whats the deal with headlight harnesses they look alittle messed up, and the heater cores missing?

#100671 well you'll need mounts, the rear tranny mount is there so that's good.

looks like it's missing the interior wiring harness, and that the headlight wiring has been cut off.

Lots of wiring work to be done there.

#100710 I see the shock tower plugs they are just not on the shock tower and hard to see because of the light. how ever if you follow the harness for the headlights or i guess the driver side harness it looks to go under the frame railing.


oh and Type R linkages are goldish in color. but indeed the same as the GSR/LS

in red is what appears to be the shock tower harness
i could be wrong.

well even if it was beat on the motor would of taken the grunt of it unless they wrecked it id look out for bondo n such like that but yea it looks like a nice start to a project car though id make sure all the wiring is there and not spliced or anything and when you put a battery in it all the lights work fan blows and stuff like that.

#100729 Hood pins would be trashed. The interior is missing a few misc. pieces. Here is what he lists.....

I have a 1993 Civic hatchback for sale. The body is in awesome shape and has a custom paint job. The car was professionally painted, inside and out w/ roof a black w/ sparkle. Price is $2200 for: shell, powermaster battery($230 battery!), Tanabe catback exhaust, Type-R shift linkage, custom painted fat five wheels, Neuspeed drag springs in rear w/ stock front, and sparco steering wheel. Price can vary if some of the extras are not wanted. Need to sell, so will work with you!! CLEAN TITLE IN HAND!!!

What do you think I should offer? The only thing good is the paint. I could care less about the battery and wheels.
