Honda Heaven. Me josh and clint all set out of here yesterday at 8:00 a.m. We went down route 7 all the way to galapolis(sp?). from therewe hit my new favorite road route 114. that road had some killer curves on it and Clint and i had a blast driving. At a town called Oak Hill we got off 114 and hit route 93, Which took us to ironton. we crossed the bridge and went to huntington and to Freedom used Auto and salvage. We looked around there for a while and tried to talk the owner out of a set of Del Sol seats, but he wouldn't come down in price, so after killing some more time there, which by the way they have a really nice 93 Si hatch there, we asked the owner if he had ever heard of honda heaven, he said that he was friends with owner and gave us directions there. so after jumping on the road again and following the guys directions, we finnally found the place at 4:37 p.m. The first thing i saw when i got there was the wonderful RSX-S that he had...... Damn those seats were awesome. He had some many motors and trannys it was nuts.

Adam: He had a wrecked Si there just like yours
Jeremy: he had alot of SOHC D-series motors there

Then after wondering aroun for a little while and getting a good price on a set of gsr rims that i am going to buy next week, We picked up hood squirters, trim pieces, valve cover nuts(i was missing one), and odds and ends.

Then i asked What was under these big pieces of bubble wrap that had of to the side he said go take a look......... HOLY SHIT THREE K SERIES MOTORS AND TRANNYS!!!!!!!! He said he would let the RSX-S motor, ecu, tranny, axles, spindle, RSX-S brakes go for 3000 Cash. the other k motors were a k20a3 out of an Si and a K24. All in all that place is awesome some many motors, h22's, b20's, b18a&b's, h23's, f22's, k20's, new accord v6 vtec motors, b-series tranny's, d-series tranny's, k trannys, everything you could think of. I will going back next week to get those GSR wheels, i just wish i had 3 grand to drop for the k series motor in my crx :twisted:

Excellent. Glad someone finally found it. I had heard rumors that it was down near Ironton, but no proof. Going to let us know where this place is?

so i could go buy a totalled si' just for useage of the vin# an get a salvage/reconstructed title, go steal Adam's si, swap vin tags, an sell Adam's car as one that's been salvaged? Sweet! Adam you better lock your friggin doors lol

Dude that owns that place looks to be from the movie "Wrong Turn"
The guys name is Dave Shermon. Its actualy Shermons Salvage located in Scottstown Ohio. Just for your help with the phone number. Super Dave is a wierd cat to deal with, He never has the same price for stuff twice. Dave want's to much for little stuff and not as much for bigger things. He has a band of car guys from Hunington that stash good stuff all over the place so other people won't get it. It may take monthes before they get the cash so be sure to look close for things when you are there.
