[BrodyP]

What kinda engine for 4500$ I hope you say K ?

[GScivic7]

or an R motor

[ridestreet84]

unfortunaly not i didnt buy the engine its a new D16y8 which will be replaced again after i buy the wife a car and get the money. My dad bought the engine and wanted honda to put it in so thats what i get oh well they say it has a lifetime warranty on parts lets see how long that lasts

4500, holy crap. a new D is worth... 500?

[BrodyP]

[AudioGuy93DelSol]

raped

[Ace$nyper]

dizzam new from honda? pretty neat but rape.

happy shes back though!

[ridestreet84]

well i have my car back the final bill was 3700 that included the engine brand new lifetime warrenty on parts all new seals, new belts, new clutch, flywheel and i had a wheel stud fixed while it was there. unfortunaly like i said i didnt have the money at the time and my dad said he would buy it but i had to put in the same engine, the hard part was finding one that he liked with a warrenty more than a start up.

$3700 for a new D-series motor? Dang, at least the car runs again though.

[ridestreet84]

it was only 2000 for the engine itself the rest was mostly labor, due to the fact that honda is ass raping expensive

Holy crap, $1700? Yikes... a swap would have been cheaper, even a junkyard D-series. You don't don't have to pay your dad back for that motor/labor do you?

[exman98]

you could have bought my whole car for that

[ridestreet84]

yes i do have to pay my dad back, but my car is running again, i also had so other things replaced at the same time i had a new clutch put in and i had to buy all new belts to have put it and new seals. trust me i know a swap would have been cheaper thats what i wanted to do but since most swaps have start up only warrenties my dad wasnt buying.

[eckoman_pdx]

Dang, if you have to pay him back...I would have told him no thanks, and just saved up and bought a used D-series from the junkyard. Maybe $500...$700...then just change the motor out...could have done the labor yourself and saved a ton of money. Besides...most places you can buy motrs from give warrenties...like Auto Adventure gives a 1 year, 12,000 mile warrenty on all used USDM motors and swaps (onoly a 3 month for JDM motors and swaps). For little more $, you can buy a longer warrenty (for both USDM and JDM), I think as long as 2 years or something. That would have given you a swap, WITH a warrenty for less still. Just learn to look arounbd, and look around nextime. You'll save $$ and get what you want. Swaps with warrenties are out there, you just have to look.
