TITAN has a spectacular aura about
Default Stealing the eletrics for my car

well im not stealing them but my mum is scrappin her old P reg vectra on saturday and i've already taken the sony xplod headunit from it and fitted it into my car this morning (i bought it for her but wanted it for myself really) but as my civic doesn't have eletric windows i was wondering if it was possible to rip the units out of the vectra and somehow wire them into my own car, along with this i wanted to know if i could also rip out the remote locking and alarm system. anyone know if it can be done and some help on how to do them.
Thanks

its possible, but an awful lot of work for very little reward.

by the time you have modified the motors etc, youd be there for weeks, - if its aftermarket alarm/immob/central locking that shoukd be easy enough - if not then its most probably tied to the ecu, again possible but pointless - it would be much easier and probably cheaper in the long run going to a scrappy and gettin the bits you need for *your* car, eg civic leccy windows.

I have to concur with gangsta here it is fiddly and time consuming.
