My Si has a DX motor!

Congratulations. That's the kind of deal you just have to be in the
right place at the right time for. What model is it, a DX?

yes, dx auto. i want auto because of a knee problem and have been
assembling parts from the 90-91 ex auto, originally so i could put the
d16a6 4pfi + auto into my 89 civic hatch. i think the crx is now the
candidate! if that goes well, maybe i'll do the b20 + auto swap from a
prelude on the civic...

Welcome to the new Improved Google Groups, where one of the
improvements is replying to postings only to the first group listed
unless you manually add the others. And to think that they're too
humble to even try to publicize this improvement.

Well, I doubt any dealers check every used car they sell to ensure
that it's got the right engine, any more than private buyers do. I
tried to buy a used Sentra SER from the local Nissan dealer, and they
couldn't tell me whther that car had ABS or not. They were pretty sure
it had disk brakes though; they gleaned this info from the chrome
circle impressed into the brake pedal.

You mean Google, the company that's chock-a-block with
really, really smart PhD's? They did this?

Ah, remember that education and intelligence are distinct concepts! (It is
really mean to ask a college recruiter, "How much will my IQ increase if I
graduate from your institution?") Or maybe it's the same as the way donuts
make me smarter: after I've eaten a couple I know I shouldn't have, and
that's obviously *way* more than I knew to start with. <8^P

Well, you can't tell me they hire PhDs to answer the mail and clean
the toidies.

I've been less than thrilled re Google's "do no evil" philosophy since
they blocked my account years ago, because I had replied (in a
negative fashion) to somebody's antisemitic rant and they couldn't
figure out that it was me who had replied not me who had originally
ranted; and when I did get them to figure it out after a long series
of emails, most of which were ignored by them, "there is nothing we
can do, you'll have to start a new account from a different email
address". Me being one of the early adopters of Google when everybody
else was still using AltaVista. Humph.

 

Face it: Google is evil. 10 years from now, people will look back and
say, "Remember how we thought Microsoft was evil? Man, they got NUTHIN'
on Google."
