I think they are just going to get a new manifold, OEM. No problem for me though. My whole project right now is to get it back to a normal, decent Civic.

I went today, 2 dollar admission for me to NOT GET ANYTHING! There are loads of Civics. 45 bucks for the rear bumper and like 85 for like the full complete set. I have no idea what that dude was talking about so I'm either going to check CL for some part outs in my area and do what I can. I don't want to take off the front bumper till I have the rear in my possession, I don't know why but I feel like I want to do it all at once and then go for paint that same week. I need to look into more about what the junkyard guy was talking about and anyways, my car is in the shop and I think I'll have her back in a week or so.

My little Civic is still in the shop, in pieces. The starter spring has been replaced and the tune-up is done. They are now looking for new window regulators. I'll keep you guys posted.

Anyways, when I went to the junkyard, the guy was talking about selling me just the bumper without the brackets for like 45, then he said something about selling a full complete rear bumper for like 85. WTF does that mean?

This dude was selling the steelies for 80 bucks. Good set of them too. I should have picked them up. What a steal.
