ok its a 93 CX. The motor either has a bad head or gasket, blowing white smoke like crazy. If I decide to buy this car(probably for $250-300) I would just rather put in a replacement used motor. Has 171K on the clock and BASE model…no a/c or power options. Does anyone have a D15 for sale ? If not how much will I pay for this motor? It looks like there is a lot of room to work and pull it and replace in one day? Give me some options guys and let me know what you all have for it. It is still up in the air if I am going to buy it or not. Just looking for a daily driver, and possibly a low boost setup. lemme know! ![http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a282/jackhunt321/hbrear.jpg](http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a282/jackhunt321/hbrear.jpg) ![http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a282/jackhunt321/hbint.jpg](http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a282/jackhunt321/hbint.jpg) ![http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a282/jackhunt321/hbhatch.jpg](http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a282/jackhunt321/hbhatch.jpg) ![http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a282/jackhunt321/hbfront.jpg](http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a282/jackhunt321/hbfront.jpg) ![http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a282/jackhunt321/hbengine2.jpg](http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a282/jackhunt321/hbengine2.jpg) ![http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a282/jackhunt321/hbeng1.jpg](http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a282/jackhunt321/hbeng1.jpg) ![http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a282/jackhunt321/hbdriver.jpg](http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a282/jackhunt321/hbdriver.jpg) ![http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a282/jackhunt321/hbdoor.jpg](http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a282/jackhunt321/hbdoor.jpg) ---

check out [best foreign auto parts](http://www.bestforeignautoparts.com/) . they have quite a few motors up there both still in some cars and some out of the cars. either way i’m sure you could find something really cheap. if you’re at rmu, its about 15 minutes north on 60 so its worth a shot. ---

Thanks everyone for your help on finding a motor. The car was trailored last night by Jeff at 1st try, and the we are swapping the motor on Tuesday. Probably with in the following two weeks if everything works out financially on the swap it will be boosted as well. I stuck with a D15 but went from 8V to 16V. Since I already got a standalone fuel setup on the accord w/ boost, I am going for a low budget 5psi FMU turbo setup. Again…Thanks everyone, especially Jeff. BTW, if you haven’t stop at McB Autosport, alls I have to say is HOLY SHIT. I will definatly be seeing more of him.HE has more sawwweeeet cars than World of Wheels x 5. Thanks a lot Mark and DALIFTS.
