Check out the $5 score at the local boneyard...
 
http://www.we-todd-did-racing.com/we...ZkMzF5NTQx.jpg I almost ---- myself when i found this...it's an Apex-i Twin Chamber BOV that i found buried on a junk Galant vr-4. I was originally looking for some more DSM parts when i found it, and i'm surprised it wasn't gone since the car was there for a little while. Pulled it off and told the guy at the counter it was some fuel pressure regulator off the galant lol...idiot just shrugged his shoulders and said 5 bux...sold! ;D It had some corrosion on it, but that cleaned right off with a wire wheel. Now i hafta figure out where to put this thing on my hatch...damn thing sits like 5" tall.

I was at the yard the other day, scored a p06 for real cheap but there was not 1 turbo DSM left, so no injectors or bov's for me... good score

The only " nice finds" around here have been an hf manifold, $25, and an 90 Si intake manifold, complete with everything for the mpfi swap, $70.

And those aren't even good good deals. Our junkyards get raped by the guys working there. They strip down hondas like ants on candy.

Good find for $5.

My friend did "get" a CT-26 from a Supra, that bitch was huge and in great condition. One of those over the fence purchases ;). He ended up giving it away, stupid dumbass. I helped him take it out :3

Re: Check out the $5 score at the local boneyard...
 
Yeah, most of the stuff in the junkyards up here are usually pretty stripped down. Only reason i think it wasn't already gone was cause it was kinda hidden down low underneath the battery tray and a real pita to get to.

I had one asking $300 for a blown ihi rhb5 from a probe. He actually told me, it's no good it's blown, I told him that's ok, I needed some brackets and oil lines from it. He then told me $300 :S

all turbos at a local u pull place near me are under $40 with tax, another yard intercoolers are $4.00

Re: Check out the $5 score at the local boneyard...
 
my local yard is pretty cool. he told me that any turbo from a car would be 60 and from a truck would be 75. unforunetly he had the same deal with someone a couple years ago and everyturbo is gone from the place and all the mpfi hondas are missing everything from the firewall forward. the other yard yas turbos but rapes you and has cameras so no over the fence transactions

Only problem is that it is where all the asians and cholos camp out every day. You gotta get lucky to get anything there.

You gotta go up north to the solid junkyard. It is only open 5 days a week, and too far for the junkyard -----s.

I live next to a "up north junk yard", it's all taken over by beaners.

Everyone yard around here went to the they pull it thing. They won't even let you walk around back there for "insurance" reasons. Probably more like lack of.
