Green Grand Prix parts swap? - Fuel Economy, Hypermiling, EcoModding News and Forum

Anybody interested in trading/selling/buying parts? I could use some Metro/Swift and Honda stuff and I have plenty of Metro/Swift stuff to part with. I probably won't have a car ready for the GGP, but I'll be there either way.

I've got a small gamut of parts similar to gasoline fumes - I've got XFi body and interior parts (sorry no engine/trans or related parts!) and some random 4th gen civic engine parts. Most notably, I've got a full set of stock 95+ metro/suzuki tires on steelies, and front rotors and pads, all in near-new condition. Used '96 toyota tercel (5E-FE) head and all other related ICE parts removed during electric conversion.

Looking for CRX interior parts. All I have is a seat, seatbelt, and a dashboard, and I eventually at least want a rug, passenger seat, and passenger seatbelt, but let me know what you've got regardless.

I have a '90 Swift dashboard, fits any 1989-1991 Swift/Metro. And a front and rear 1992-1994 Metro bumper. These are the ugly "aerodynamic" bumpers. All FREE to any EcoModder members attending the GGP! Or I throw them out on Friday....

Horseheads Pick-a-Part is open to 3PM on Saturdays. I don't know if they have a CRX or not, I haven't been there recently.

Pick a part definitely does not have a CRX. They post a photo of each car that goes into their yard (and I think it's exhaustive). This is a handy feature, but that yard isn't rich in hondas. Gary's is, but is crap for letting you know what they have - you have to keep going all the time to get an idea of what they have. Then, the day you really need something and plan to go get it, the car will be gone.

PITA. Good yard though.

I'm in the market for a dead Insight or 03-05 Civic Hybrid battery pack that I can harvest cells from.

I'm looking for a set of hubcap lug nuts for a Honda. If you know Hondas, you probably know what these are. They have a plastic ring on them that holds the hubcap on. 16 of them would be great, 8 would work. But any quantity would help me.

They have over 1500 cars, they only list some of the new arrivals. I'm not sure if they keep track of the full inventory, but it might be worth calling them.

I can probably get some of those for you...

Christ - do you know if there is a CRX, or even a 4th gen at pick-a-part?

Gasoline Fumes · 05-05-2010, 12:48 PM

I might make a junkyard run this week. Any specific parts needed?

Wonderboy · 05-05-2010, 03:42 PM

A full set of RE92s mounted on stock insight rims please.

Gasoline Fumes · 05-07-2010, 12:05 AM

I found my lugnuts. No Insights at either junkyard I went to. Maybe someday....

I wouldn't mind having a 2G CRX HF 5th gear set to put in the Wagon I'm driving.
