Just saying hi.
I have been owning Hondas since 1994, have had them all, CRX Si's, prelude, EF8, EF9, RT4wd, CR-Z, CR-V and a RHD SiR EF9
so the other day I put a bid in on a 2003 wrecked one at insurance auction which was located 60 miles away bidding on piics alone. Salvage title, and won the auction, Not my first rebuilder. But, this car has probably had a hard life.
only pic I have is from the auction


car got to my house today from a friend who hauled it back. Was dark when I got home. friend said it started after a jumpstart. Its cold here at about 19 and a windchill of 0F

Haven't seen the car in light yet.

I am in in search and need of the following at minimum, although some are local found on car-part:
right fender
one front wheel and tire
one rear RIM/wheel only
Lower control arm (local avail but still might find a better deal here)

if ANYONE on here has seen the car before or knows the owner, would love to be in contact to find out more into.
The car is easy to know i think

If this car does pan out, I may get rid of my higher mileage NICE CRX Si summer DD, or my SVX but I did plan on reselling this once I help her back to life.

have been on different forums in the past…..
located in Iowa.

Welcome and good luck.
be sure to stop by the for sale forums and the WTB forums in S2ki.
someone is always parting out and offloading parts....that's where your best exposure will come.

Ordered the replacement Dunlop front tire on DiscountTireDirect tonight,
located a proper shift knob on garage sale here.
Wish i had PM status.

will still need front Fender in paint code NH-630M, a front wheel and much warmer temps to put this together. It's 8.5F out there now, with snow coming down and a windchill of -45F forecast for tomorrow.

Looks like you're making progress (especially for it being winter)!

The number of s2000's is dwindling, so it's good to see one saved.

Almost completely apart/dissected at this point. Have run into not being able to get the rear most lower control arm bushing to come out.


SO, is there a trick to get this out. I have removed the bolt that goes up from the bottom. Appears there is a adjustment nut or something else still there.

Can someone give me some instruction who has had to remove one also? Thanks
I have tried a few pry bars but decided to come in and see if someone knows the trick.
