Default Mini-Me Jive

Where is a good place to buy all the jive I need for a mini-me conversion? Other than e-bay of course... nobody is ever selling a full D18Z6 head.

Thanks

Ahhh there is no such thing as a D18Z6, but for the parts off of a D16Z6 which is what you want, then check out some scrapyardsmaybe if you have a local forum you can check out there, And ify ou are still looking for the head, you can also get one off of a D16Y8 from a 96-00 EX

Well, if youve been searching D18z6 on ebay, of course its not going to show anything because like fiirkan stated, no such thing. That said, i just looked up D16z6 head on ebay, and theres like 7 or 8 on there, and a couple are looking pretty nice. Just be sure your looking up the right thing when you search, youll get better results.

haha yeah i meant d16z6 and that is what i searched for on eBay... nobody was selling the head with the VTEC sylenoid and valve cover and all that stuff. Someone was selling a really clean one but for like 300$ + shipping and you ahve to send them the head your replacing... Maybe ill have to check there more often... If it doesnt come with everything is the stuff easy to replace? And does a lot of mileage make a big difference?

Are you saying that junk yards scrap those parts for you?

thanks

So is it possible to find these parts from a junk yard?

And if i do a mini-me will i need different headers or will it all line up and stuff?
