Coworker just wrecked his 99 Civic Si 5 spd, ~90k miles. Chassis is most likely toast but the motor/trans are fine as far as we can tell. Car is located in Hackettstown NJ, any offer above scrap value will be entertained. No pics as of yet, but if anyone's interested let me know.

That reminds me, anyone care to spread this to LocostUSA? I don't have an account there, but some middy guys might want this.

B16 should be worth substantially more than scrap value
Damn too far, or should I say whew too far.
Usually the only break ii have at work is on the john. So sue me.
Guy at work is broke again. So no go. You can sell that trans for 1k. Engine is prolly worth 2500. Real good steal.

The 99/00 Si have B series engines..........I just helped a friend do a clutch swap on a '00 Si. So please, take your trolling elsewhere.

Just because he is wrong doesn't mean he is trolling. A little harsh I think.
This is a steal!
Have you seen that MGB-GT for sale?
If you were in my neck of the woods, I'd have a new parts car.

That car could EASILY be parted out to make a decent $. That dropout should get at least $1000 if all's good.

well, he looked up part prices over the weekend and decided to try parting it out himself- no surprise there
