SoCal: Colin's Garage Sale - New Parts added Regularly

that B17 head…what valvetrain/cams can be used on it? like generally any VTEC aftermarket or even OEM setup can be used in it?

You can run any b series vtec cam in any b series vtec head… OEM, Toda, Skunk2, Rocket, Crane…etc…

Hey Colin, so most of the other parts I was thinking about possibly getting from you are sold. All except for the type r flywheel. What would be the best price you could give me for the flywheel and shipping for it and the other parts I got from you already? Thanks!

Mike, the flywheel adds quite a bit of weight and size to the package, I’m getting a quote from USPS of almost $27 to ship. However, I might be able to squeeze everything into a flat rate box, if that’s the case then shipping would come down to $17 - I can check tonight to see. Assuming I can cram it all into a flat rate box, how does $80 shipped sound? Shoot me an email if you have any questions or want to discuss further. Thanks!

prices lowered…

Itr linkage and shifter sold. More goodies for DA track car :burnout:

Bump, I got my parts but the forum was down. Thanks again!

Glad everything got there safely Mike! And thank YOU for helping me recoup some funds from this bunk swap I bought :frowning:

edited for stuff sold while the forum was down…

Bunk swap? Huh? What happened?

Yeah wtf?

I found an ITR swap for what seemed like a good price from the brother of a well known Honda racer. Looked a little dirty but I’m not afraid of cleaning. When I got it home some of the parts were not what he said they were (clutch & flywheel). Pulled the trans apart and it was beat inside. He said it was fine but whoever put it together did it wrong, we almost couldn’t get the case apart. 3rd gear was unbelievably worn, no way it shifted smooth, shit, it may not have even stayed in gear. After seeing that I couldn’t be confident that the motor was clean or even had the internals he said it did. Well, it did have the right internals, but the cyl walls were smooth and likely had many many more miles than he told me it did - I had planned on just putting it in my car but now it’s going to need a full rebuild. Icing on the cake was when I tried to sell the intake manifold the buyer noticed a crack. I’m glad he did see it because I hadn’t noticed it at all and would have hated to accidentally sell a bad manifold. Basically what I thought was a great deal turned into a not so good deal plus a lot of headaches for me having to sell parts, some of which were not what I was told they were. Basically the cost and timeline of my swap have now doubled. At this point I’m not sure if I’ll be able to get back out on track this year or not, but whatever, I enjoy projects nearly as much as I do lapping, it’s just this wasn’t the original plan. Another thing slowing me down is that my garage has been very very lacking. I had planned on buying a house early this year but prices have gone up 20% in the past year and I’ve been priced out of the market. So, I’m stuck in my tiny single car garage which I’m currently doing a little remodeling in in order to have the capacity to tackle some of the projects I have planned. Haven’t even touched the car (other than pushing it in/out of the garage) since I had it towed home from the track earlier this year :frowning:

Man, that may sound really whiny, lol.

Man that sucks, I’m sorry to hear about all that. It doesn’t sound whiny to me, when you buy something you expect it to be what you were told it is. Best of luck getting it together and out there driving again!

Exactly… It’s not whining when you were duped and misled. Sorry to hear of the headaches Colin. But at least you noticed all of this before swapping it in. Rest assured you’ll get it all squared away properly!

Thanks for the support guys! Love this forum :slight_smile:

Me too! Since the forum has been down I’ve been on hondatech. Man I hate that forum…

Great price on the cf hood wish I was on the west coast, I am sure price to ship would be high

Dam Colin! Sorry to hear about your recent bad experience with your swap. I hope all is moving along for you. Bump for a great seller and forum member. Buy some of his parts so he can get his project moving and back on the track!

Thanks guys! I’m gonna edit the post in a bit and slash some prices. Need to move this stuff.
