So I went to the junkyard the other weekend and I actually came across an 04 RA. I know how rare it is to find a scrapped RA. The whole engine bay seemed intact, it was mainly rear body damage. I was just wondering, is there anything of potential value that I should try to remove from it? I kind of want the IM (to port later ) and maybe the the two front wheels. Any other parts that you all think is worth trying to get off of it?

 

Personally I would take every little thing I could get off of it you never know when you might be in need of it.

 

lol....i would do the same. If i had a place to store it, i'd haul the whole thing back home.

If its an auto grab me that crank! Lol I'm still having issues with this car...

That or tell me where it is! Ill prolly take the whole damn transmission and do a manual conversion lmao

 

dude, you do that and grab a CF hood were the same lol, but hellz yea, manual conversion FTW!!

If you could grab the head to port out later too then that would be pretty deadly ha.

 

lol ALMOST the same. you're still a few engine mods short but im sure you'll catch up quick. once the car is up and running i'll be adding the rrm camshaft to the list of X's in my sig haha (cant really count it until the car actually runs w/ it )

 

take everything! i wish i could find one

 

What color is it?

I need sideskirts badly.

 

It's a black auto with beige interior. The body is much destroyed.. literally missing the back 1/3 of the car, no back seats, no trunk, all the doors are bad, the left side of the car looks like where the initial impact was, and no front bumper either. I'm assuming someone got there before I did and stripped the body. I just want the engine parts, but I'm thinking I'm going to need help removing all that I want. I'm still a rookie student when it comes to cars, but I'm slowly learning (mainly thanks to all you guys). Raikiri PM me, maybe we can go together and bring a big 'ol box of tools

 

id ask for the fan controller and the tps but knowing my luck id get em and theyre bad just like mine..lol

 

Jabl3s lets go to the yard! Imma try finding time for me and my mechanic to go down and rip out that crank. maybe we can get the entire engine out and you can get what you need cause i think we have to take all that crap off anyway to get to the crank. YOU WILL have to come w/ us though cause there's no way i can front the money for your stuff lol im broke as hell to rebuild the car as it is

honestly just buy new man. you never know if it'll be one of the bad batch coming off a used car. its a great part to replace anyway cause i never hear them fans anymore after i turn off the car

 

i know i should buy new...but rt now im kinda in a hole money-wise...
i just got 4 struts about a month ago($450), all the timing belt stuff about two weeks ago(just under $300), a used a/c compressor($250), and a set of tires a few months b4($450 employee price)...its hard for me to get theese base and underhood bushings im getting secondhand rt now..and i had to save almost a year to afford all that

and w/ christmas coming...yeah....not much $ available
(then again...my b-day is soon too)...(and my tax return soon after)

 

I'm down. I'm available this sunday and monday. Lemme know.
