2009 honda civic SI with bent passenger frame rail?
The car looks clean and has 35k miles but has a bent passenger frame rail. It's quoted at $1200; and he wants 10k for the car.
Should I buy it and fix it? How bad will this hurt resale value?
Let's see, a unibody constructed car, forgetaboutit.
Most likely best to not fix it, and not buy it. Your risking way too much money on that.
The frame rail is not the issue because "most" of them can be repaired safely. The best thing you can do is take it to a body shop prior to buying it and have them measure the unibody to see how bad the rail really is, it may be minor. If the rail is collapsed in the crumple zone it will have to be replaced which means the motor has to come out for access to replace it, not for the home mechanic. If you have it measured make sure to ask for a spec print out.
- If I made a few mods to the frame of a 1972 Honda z50, can I classify it as a moped? The 1972 honda z50 came with a vin. So it had to be street legal. In Michigan the engine has to be under 100cc, automatic engine and not go over 30 mph to be a moped. I have seen some mods that people have done to the frame but I just wanted to make sure
- I have a 1994 honda prelude si. It has bent valves i don't know how many due to timing belt breaking? I need step by step instructions on how to get to valves and to know if they are bent or not and how to replace them. Anyone help me with the step by step instructions. Please

- Frame size of 250 and 450? I'm 17 years old and weigh 140 lbs at a height of 5'11. I want to get a KTM 450 EXC, but I don't know if it is too big for me. I have heard that the Honda 250x, which is a perfect size for me, is the same frame size and the KTM 450EXC. All in all, is the 250x the same size as the 450EXC?
