ok so I got a trainne for pizza hut in my car with me, and I'm going down the interstate and I notice lose of power in my throttle and a weird smell so I pull off the off ramp car shuts off and won't turn back on :( so I get into a gas station and billowing smoke from under the hood.. white smoke. So I bought coolant put some in pours out the bottom so I think raditior has a hole in it, so then I take the bumper off to get a better look. There's oil in my wheel wells :? Both left and right a decent amount to, but I can't find a oil trail? No where,,, any ideas? Anyone around jacksonvile that can come to westside and give advice/sell parts./help wrench? I'm sitting in subway waiting on a tow truck as we speak,

Yeah all old hondas are ugly IMO. But hey 700-800 on a car plus a couple hundred in gas/food money should get you going.

The first is about a month old, forgot to look at the date.
The second is 18 days old.
 
Glad you got options now. Nothings wrong with cross training. You can move up to crew trainer and maybe manager before your life changing experience. It'll look good on your resume with a manager title in your last job. Have you tried geo metros or the suzuki swift? Or maybe an old corolla. Other cheap cars. Just a thought.
 
Fine, sell your body and make that money! Nuff said :^) Seriously though a old car such as a 87 doesnt even need any type of inspection unless MD is the only state to require a vehicle being inspected before tag and title?
 
Sometimes you just gotta suck it up and spend a few. In the words of one wise man, "You got to spend money to make money" these being spoken like a true believer!
 
The only sizes you need for a engine swap is a 12mm 17mm and the occasional 10 mm... Takes about 3 hours to pull if your like me and struggle to remember to remove the UICP :/ But in all seriousness, I had the exact same problem on the bypass on my way to work and it was Cyl. #4 pulled the spark boot and had nothing but oil on it. Now.. Back to my criminal minds. But yeah bud, I hate to say it, but with the tools you have, you should be able to get your motor out. I had a 40 dollar set of Toolworks tools from advance and got my engine and trans. out together (easiest way) in less than 5 hours. DSMs are hard to keep happy, but when they're happy, your happy and thats what makes it so worth it.
 
make sure you take the trainne from pizza hut on a drive again, after the car is fixed, so he can see how fun dsm really are..
 
Here you go, and it's even an Eclipse (or better, an Eclipse II):

Seem to run about 900 bucks, so within your range!

Jokes, jokes...seriously, that first Honda posted above looked fine. You do not want a nice car to deliver pizza in, you don't want to put a car you care about that much through that abuse.
