Ther is a wrecked 4thg en in my area paper. They are asking $1000 for it. If I were to buy it would it be worth my while parting it out. Ad says it runs very well.

Si4WS · 12-28-2002, 08:33 AM

I would say yes, but I own a 4g. What trim level? Got any pix?

Porschify · 12-28-2002, 12:11 PM

id say yes too, depending on what trim it is, u could put the engine, tranny, and ecu on ebay and make your money back plus more.

If it's an Si 5 speed or a VTEC, then yeah, you'll the the 1 grand back from the motor/tranny/ECU alone.

VTEC Shore Lude · 12-28-2002, 04:16 PM

go for it

irishpilot · 12-28-2002, 04:30 PM

ya for sure, put everything NR and people will bid on them
seats, fenders, hood, of couse if they are in tact that is

yeah I'm pretty sure it is just a H23a. I know that if it werew a H22A I wouldn't have even asked you guys. I know better then that. Just wasn't really sure on the going rate for H23 these days.

Do it...

Depends on milage and condition, but between 800 and 1200.

That's pretty cool, but my question is, how did he go about getting Crower cams for the h23?

vectorx · 12-28-2002, 09:31 PM

you can get regrinds done to you stock cams.

Yes..... but not from Crower.

At least I didn't think they did them....

Go for it. You'll definitely be able to make a profit off of this.

MidNKight-lude · 12-29-2002, 11:05 AM

i know i would, damn for a grand, i wanna buy this wreck 95 SE gold prelude that all **** in the front and rear, i know it still drivable cause it at an apartment complex, and it was gone from the space one time. hehe engine and lil misc parts for my lude, then all strip for some1 else

cantdrive55 · 12-29-2002, 12:26 PM

Crower will make you custom billet cams for a price. I doubt that the Ebay Motor has them though.

Preyluder · 12-29-2002, 01:03 PM

I wouldn't want to send my cams off to a company, no matter if it is a reputable one such as Crower. I just don't know what would happen to them in the shipping process. I'd want to be there to see them do it.
