yes, the import scene is pretty big out here. But I've found that it goes both ways. On one hand you have the advantage of ALOT of rust free cars, which make for alot of easy junkyard scouring for parts. On the other hand Hondas get stolen ALOT out here. I had my 91 Civic HB B16 swap stolen from me. The criminals either chop them for parts or they drive them across the border (no offense to la gente). There are alot of swap shops here, and HASport is located here in the Valley. I have been lucy enough to work up a somewhat familiar relationship with Brian and Keith Gillespie, the owners of HASport. They also own a wrecking yard here and have imparted alot of knowledge to me too. Almost anything I know about a Honda I learned from those guys. So yeah, the scene is pretty big here
