I can attest to the tuner crowd throwing/giving away the D15Z1 motors. That is exactly how I got my spare VX motor with only 110K miles on it for free. The poor kid didn't even want to try and save money/gas, he was too smitten with lust over the false promise of speed and glory.

The real problem with the tuner crowd going after VXs is the fact that they ruin the harness so it's harder for people to install a VX motor into non VX Civic.
