Hey well turns out the gearbox is gone and my mechenic said he would put a new one in for $250 labour if I can get the gearbox.
So apart from Hontoys and Honbits, where else can I try in sydney. I have an 89' civic with d15b4 engine and dont really want to spend anymore then $500
Thanks :)
Car??
Try Hannys performance.....last time I was there (a few months ago) he had a blown D16A8 engine and i'm sure the gearbox was in tact.
So maybe give Robert a call and try.
Hey how long ago was this? Does that one bolt up to a d15b4?Quote:

I'm guessing that you should ring around a few of the jap wreckers and see what you can find.

Oops sorry...must have missed that.Quote:

Go visit Robert at Hannys, I'm sure he might have something lying around.
to be honest when i was at online performance i remember seeing they had a d15 series engine sitting there.. it might be worth a shot to give them a call to see if its what you need.
Im not sure if Jims back from Jamboree yet though, BTW they ran a 9.79 for all you guys who havent heard.
Heres there number - 9826 6602
It was yesterday I saw it Rufes. If they try to sell it for more than 300 bucks tops then walk away. 500 is a rip.
have you tried honbits at smithfeild?
Honbits wanted $550 for gearbox
they can go shove it
Ill keep ringing around and let u know how I go

Talk to Andrew aka "Mr Sheen"...
He should be able to sort you out...
(Alcohol exchange programme... :wink: )
I know they had one in the junk pile...
That is of course if it hasn't already been tossed in the Colex bin...
Worth a try…
I have an old carb engine sitting in my drivway which i took out of my 1988 gl sedan, engine and gearbox and clutch still attached and worked fine before i took it out to drop in a b16a. If your in sydney and you want it come and grab it. It is only taking up space.
:P email or pm me if you are interested.

arg wish I checked this earlier.. Already bought a second hand one :oops:
Damn - I'd have some good uses for it - if I didn't have the B16A in mine :? Don't suppose you have the factory parcel shelf lying around? :P
na man just have the hole engine brakes a/c, all parts left over from B16A conversion. If you know anyone thats wants them they can have them. i need some more space to fill with B serries parts not D. :lol:
B series brakes or D? lol - like I have room for the parts - but I was thinking a D15 in a first gen Civic could be cool :)
