not what I expected from a story called “murdered civic on the thruway…” sorry to hear, I can relate. personally, if you want to keep the car and have it as a rock’em sock’em hatch, I would sink a grand into a decent daily driver accord, then build the motor back up the way you want over winter. this way, you have a backup in case this happens again, or if you want to do work to it and tie it up for a few days, etc. if you just want to get the thing back on the road, set aside a day or two from work and get some stock pistons put in. it sucks, but it won’t be quite as bad once you’ve got a game plan and start following through with it. good luck though :tup: ---

> [@JayS](#): > > A great example of why having only a modded car as your DD can be bad. Good luck getting it back together. You might be better off just finding a stock motor and dropping it in until you’re in a better spot financially. :word: Can’t be too expensive to put in a d-series, considering how many of them are probably in perfectly good working condition when their owners swap them out for b or k series… ---
