I know how the forum world goes... I guess I'll take the bait... :D :hide:

I don't know if I also need the head since my car has no compression. It may be better if I just look for a complete motor rather than just getting the components. I'll definitely keep you in mind though. :)

I'm 26. I already posted pics. :p

Very clean R6. Thanks for the warning, but I'm used to the whole gaga-over-a-girl-who's-in-the-male-dominated-scene. lol It started when I first built my 1995 civic and 88 crx, continued with my street racing/drag racing the 00 si, and still deal with it with my track racing the R6. Girl...

I rode today... hit a little bit of rain on my way to school. Thankfully this crappy weather is a rarity in soCal. :D

Wanted to say hi in this sub-section. I have a 2005 yamaha R6 (raven) and have been riding for about 4 years. I do track days (no canyons anymore) and I admit that my biggest pet peeve is seeing squids. I live by the motto of "I'd rather sweat than bleed". If you're in the soCal...

I did the doggie DNA testing on my dog, Rusty and the results were pretty interesting... Rusty: Level 3 (20-36%) Chow Chow Level 4 (10-19%) Boxer Level 4 (10-19%) German Shorthaired Pointer Level 5 (<10%) Chihuahua Level 5 (<10%) Irish Setter Level 5 (<10%) Norwegian Elkhound...

Well.... vehicle-wise, anyway. haha

I emailed the guy. Thanks for checking craigslist. It seems that whenever I check there's nothing. lol Yeah.. i got out of the car scene when I got my R6 in 05. lol There's nothing better than being on 2 wheels.

I think I checked hmotors and they only have a b16a2 with trans for upwards of $2800. Back when I used to be more in the scene I had a 95 coupe ex that I did a b16a2 swap into (auto to manual conversion, the whole works). It's just been awhile since I've had a focus on cars and a lot of...

I'm in Laguna Niguel (Orange County), CA. I was trying to find a motor locally to avoid shipping costs.

I'm just more concerned about that guarantee of not having future problems. And...I know to make the car legit, it has to be a 00 or newer motor. With the way the economy is and me being a full time student, I need something reliable for commuting that won't cause more financial strain...

I was figuring that if my car is worth about $6700 (with motor, according to kelly blue book private party) if I subtracted $1500 - $2K for the motor, I thought it might be reasonable. Like... $4500 to $5000 for the car. The problem with rebuilding/doing a swap is that there is no guarantee...

As some of you may have already seen, I had the unfortunate experience of having water sucked up into my motor via my cold air intake... I'm trying to see what my car would be worth if I sold it with the blown motor. I definitely had water (could tell when I pulled the spark plugs) and...

I may look more into a JDM motor then. It just seems like the b16a2 is impossible to find right now. I want to keep my car stock since it has become a daily driver (after being arrested for street racing, I really don't want to get near the car scene again...I'll stick with racing sportbikes...

How does that work with registration, etc. I thought having the JDM motor made it difficult to pass smog visual inspections or something...? Where did you end up finding your new motor?

Thanks for the heads up. I knew of some places back when I was a car nut (late 90s, early 00s. I don't know the actual names of the junkyard... we would refer to it as the "JDM Junkyard". lol.. so that doesn't really help.

I think I may have thrown a rod in my 00 si while driving in this morning's rain. Stupid CAI... I heard a loud bang and there was oil under my car, so I'm pretty convinced that it was the rod. I've been out of the car scene for quite some time (I'm in the motorcycle scene now) and no...
