junk yard junkies

[Juan4DCB7]

for those who spend most of there lives in the junk yard, or go there very often (like me), what things do you guys usually look for on a CB? or things that can work on in a CB?

also what valuable five finger discount pieces are there to get every time you guys go lol. (i like to leave with something rather than nothing)

post up any ideas

I scored a nice shinny oil cap once..

Never found anything rare though.

Eh Idaho sucks for junkyards. We have them, but most of the CB's are already gutted to shit.

[Juan4DCB7]

haha yea that is how it is here in California, when the new shipment of cars comes the cars are filled with parts and in 2-4 days they are already gutted out.

Keep an eye out for flushmounts, fogs, lips, armrests, mufflers, strut towers, rims, rear disc brakes, anything that looks out of the ordinary.

450cc DSM injectors are a good thing too, although they're usually gone. Turbos are cool too, just check for shaft play before bothering to take it out.

Relays are good five finger discounts. Most places will just let you have them for free anyway.

Yeah the main yard I visit has a $1 entrance fee where you can take any fuses, nuts, bolts, relays, and lamps for free. And you can borrow a wheel barrow, and if you come across a stuck bolt they will cut it off for ya.

I am crazy hooked on goin to the junk yard. I like to score bolts, fuses and stuff like that. I was hella excited when I got a heater knob. I've had the car for 8 years and I just found out that the heater control clicks when you turn it. I found a complete 93 lx for 400 and its in great shape to be in a yard. I'm trying to get it by next week. There should be some kind of intervention for us......lol

yea, and as for the lx, you should go for it if it is in running condition
i am hella hooked on going to the junk yard, when i can not go i feel bad sort of empty and start to think about going it even more

i am so jealous of those who have fog lights and especially for those who have found them in the junk yard

I look for legend lips, coilovers, shocks, any Prelude ECUs, power antennas, basically all accessories that you can add on to our cars.

I found a complete set of 91 Fogs once w/ switch all 3 harnesses and both fogs.

Recently, if i don't find anything for my CB7, I look into the domestic cars. Some come w/ Superchargers that I buy for like 50 and then sell for like 250 on CL.

I don't just look at Honda though, I found some Ground Control Coilovers on an Acura Legend once and sold those the next day on CL for like 5x what I bought em for.

Also got a couple Thule Roof racks a lot of people look for those too.

wow that is a lot of stuff you can find in your local junk yard.
the only supercharger i have ever seen on a car in the junk yard was an SSEI and that is about it. all the domestic cars are gutted and the ones which are left alone are the 4 and 6 cylinders
