Stuff is still for sale. Was extremely busy past few weeks. I'm about to put it on craigslist and/or/maybe eBay. As a feeler, how much might someone pay for a ported and polished DISI head with a port-matched, stock intake ? Im a machinist and I've got this in the works.

People. I do not bite. Please PM me or whatever. Everything except the left half-shaft is still available. Rotors are also possibly spoken for I'm just waiting for a micrometer from a buddy to confirm they are ok for a buyer.

Just put in an 500 mile engine from a 2008 MS3. It's like a brand new car. My engine was a turd by comparison (turbo had a half inch of axial play, as an example) and I haven't even laid into this new one. But, it was installed and somehow the throwout bearing got damaged. Making a s*** ton of...

Yah. A week later a connecting rod (Cyl #1) made a gorgeous window in my block. If only I had a dream of that event.

Following are some more pictures. I'm not Ansel Adams. The sun was directly overhead and I didnt have my studio reflectors or bounce flash on hand. The lonely O2 sensor (I think that's what it is) is from a 2006 MS6 w/ 75k miles. The threads are a little boogered but it's still functional...

I won't be able to post pics until atleast Wednesday. Engine is at the shop. Thanks for your interest.

$100 + s&h

I'm new to pricing things. There's one on eBay for $1k with 58,000 miles. This ones got 500 miles on it, was running great before removed. Make an offer

No. I'm fixen to sell only the things I've got listed there. Regarding the MS6 engine, mostly mechanical parts and sensors directly connected. I will have a formal list once I know what is and is not salvageable. I'm getting PM's asking "how much for the trunk lid?" and "are the rims for...

Well. Some of my images appear to be upside down. Please adjust your monitor accordingly.

From a parted out 2008 MS3, 500 mile (!!!!) SEMA show car. All of them are in gorgeous, functional condition. Transmission (MS3 transaxle w/ LSD) w/out clutch Front struts Steering rack Right and left (SOLD) half-shafts w/CV joints Intermediate shaft (between LSD and RH CV) Front brake...

So, my clutch is toast. I dont even want to take it on the freeway. Slips at like 3000 in 3rd, 4th, 5th... with even the slightest throttle input. I'm out of warranty and do not really want an OEM setup. Ive been looking at the ACT ZX4-HDSS (Street clutch) and their ZX4-HDG6 (6-puck sprung)...
