"motor issues"



2002 B6 Audi A4 1.8T with motor issues

1966 VW Bug - Acura RSX K20 powered project car

it's a little out of the way but k20 + bug, kinda cool concept I've never seen before.

Not bad for a shell! I wonder if the frame is straight?

is this a common mod? that's a lot of weight hanging up high past the rear axle line... too scared to think if that thing can handle :o

Not common. WRX motors yes, Honda Motors no. VW's have been cursed by bad handling from the get go, at least it'll be fast in a straight line. ha

I love the line "Please don't call me with a million questions". haha Good luck

this looks like a good deal

1992 Honda Si

not too bad at first glance... the rust isn't so bad in the rear 1/4 panels.

^ I thought rust just came stock on EG civics

true, but anything honda from the era rusted like that.

my definition of not so bad in this case is that the sides of the rear bumper still has something relatively solid to clip on to and is not flapping in the wind :thumbsup:

Clearly someone who doesn't have personal experience with a VW. Come for a ride in one of mine at anytime, and don't believe everything you read...

Tempting. ..

remember the JDM civic type R with the EL front end.........well someone bought it & now hes selling it, dude has 99-00 civic front end to go with it

1997 Ek9 Civic Type R "Authentic jdm, rhd"

not sure if its a good deal (sorry i dont know much about good deals on cars)

That's pretty cheap for an ek9. The front end would have been hot years ago, but its definitely cutting into its value now.

2013 FORD FOCUS ST Hatchback with NAVIGATION

30,000 kms and clean title for 16,200 seems like a good deal

^ As the old saying goes, if it's too good to be true...

Seems to be priced about what a rebuilt one would be interesting enough...

Pics or it doesn't exist...

there are pics of it somewhere here on RS. it was for sale for the longest time at vancouver kia. white with a jdm domani front end.

[EDIT] here you go: http://www.revscene.net/forums/69186...nd-dealer.html

Just called and the guy told me it had front end damage approx $2000 repair. text me the address and google result come up "Star West Autobody Repairs"
:heckno:

did a quick google search and there is only one positive review (someone bought a rebuild from them) and not much else... have you dealt with them before?

99% of body shops who sell clean title vehicles with "$x000 in repairr smol dmg no a rebuild" have fixed a large amount of damage and claimed it to be small.

This seller has had countless Craigslists ads. He sells "clean title" at rebuild prices. I've seen a 2013 Acura ILX and 2010 Mazdaspeed3 he was selling for about $5-6000 under market value.

if the accident was claimed through icbc, would there be a record of how much needed to be replaced and how much the estimate was?

i say go take a look at it, and if it still looks good see if they will let you take it to another bodyshop to inspect. if they say no then of course walk away but if they say yes and another shop says it's a good repair... big savings?

When it comes to big repair, it will never be the same no matter how good the repair is.....

all the sudden you can hear rattle noise, see the paint fading, etc regardless it's from the repair or not....then you would ask yourself why did I want to save couple thousand and get something like this?!

I have no doubt yours handle great. Trust me, the Beetle is my favourite car. They are amazingly light, and with the right modifications can handle well but your starting off with a flawed design. No if ands or buts. I was going to finish that last post off with a "I have a big hard on for Beetles, probably bigger then CCA-Dave, but that doesnt stop me from seeing the truth" so I expected your reply. Ha. Having the engine hang that far out the back is not going to help the situation much.

You don't see too many winning SCCA championships, or podium finishes on the track when competing against a sports car.

BTW, I'd love to get a ride in your car so you can prove me wrong. It would be a riot and I just love them so much.
