My civic is on its way out. The motor is constantly having problems and frankly, I'm very frusterated with it.

Right now, I'm looking at 2 options.

a. Sell it and get a new Echo Hatchback Base model

b. Put a new engine into it.


Im inclined to go with option B, but I don't have time to go running around looking for all the parts and I was wondering if there is any shops (perferably north of toronto ie. newmarket, barrie.. with the exception of Canspeed), that I could just tell them what I would like and they go and source out a new engine in good condition and all the parts needed and do the swap for me? I have no time with 2 jobs and school to do it myself nor the patients and shop/tools. I know I would pay a premium for getting someone else to do all the sourcing and do the work, but its alot easier for me. Also I'm not looking at going to a B series or anything, just an SI d16 with vtec or a plain d16.. All I need now is a motor in amazing shape that will make my car like new (and run for a long time without expensive repairs) and get me to school. I'm not looking for a race car.

And also, what are the average costs for a job like that? Motor and tranny swap. (an auto to manual conversion would be nice at the same time too, my auto dx tranny blows.)

i think u should go with option B... Echos blow. And you should save yourself the money and do the swap yourself. Oh yeah, and get back to class!

you would still save yourself a ton of cash by going with B.......even if you go to a shop and have them do it......

a civic is never on it's way out... like 1st gen Saturns, Civics dont' die, they get killed.

all your Civic needs is a new lease on life... and it's generally always cheaper to fix a car than it is to replace it. depending on your level of how-to prowness.

Is it that Gunns Automotive?

Regardless, I will talk to you on msn.

REV in Barrie sucks. Bunch of kids running the joint who can't even install gauges properly. I would reccomend ALTEC. Short drive down the 400 from newmarket to Blackcreek. Joe is a good guy, shop is clean, he is quick and will provide you with a good engine. I had my 99 LUDE engine replaced there and have had no problems since.
