I'm starting this thread because I'm excited about some stuff I just found. None of it is from an rpr worthy car, but the parts I picked up will be going into my 87 crx.

First off, I found battery relocation wires froma BMW.. In fact, I pulled them from 2 BMW's and also got the convenience jumper box all for $20.. Considering that if I purchased this amount of 0/2 gauge wire, and all of the connectors, I would be upwards of $70. This was $20 well spent. Man this was heavy to carry!


Next up was a center console and armrest from a 92 civic. Not only are these grey ones kind of rare, but they are a pain in the butt to get out. The 2 bolts that connect it to the chassis under the ebrake go all way through to under the car, and are usually rusted.. They are a nightmare. After messing around with it, I found that it almost bolts right into the crx by swapping some brackets around.. It may also need a small custom bracket.. Easy

Interesting! I want an armrest now.

in all reality you only need those two center  bolts that hold the armrest and the shift knob piece together... and that just takes a quick drilling of the plastic itself... i have an armrest in the 3G right now...

Hey Andrew what junkyard is that?

No pics, but recently found a 90-91 Civic LX with 101,XXX miles on it! I snagged the throttle body, mainly for the TPS since there is only one source for them now (DPFI) and it's $125. I also snagged the trunk springs so I don't get guillotine'd by my trunk lid anymore  Getting rid of the car soon otherwise I'd have swapped her to MPFI.
