Default Check out the $5 score at the local boneyard...

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! 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

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.
