    We used the knife more than any other tool, slashing hoses and cutting wires.

    It was savage :hahano:

    Haha, I hope they don't try and use the brake pedal to stop the car when they're rolling it around. I was more than happy to pull your pads for swapping those pretty black brembos

    they'll be fine. it's scheduled to be picked up.
    The only think I didn't get was the front sways. We ran out of time.

    what happened to the new car replacement?
     
  11. 4sevens

    4sevens Member

    I'm covered - they're just getting regional prices for the new car.

    hmm 6800 isn't bad for tranny brakes wheels and interior (minus seats). Someone buy it and give me the steering wheel.

    I don't have the time to deal with it. Essentially I'd have to cut them
    a check. The question is how much will I get back. Sure it's fun and all.
    I just don't have the time.
     
  15. Jake

    Jake Active Member

    buy it back and I'll handle selling/stripping everything for a "fee"
     
  16. 4sevens

    4sevens Member

    Interesting... I'm up for that. Variables that I need you to help define.

    1. fee
    2. market price estimates broken down by part
    3. time frame - how long would will it take to move it out

    lets talk

    PM back at you again
    Which parts do you want.
     
  20. Jake

    Jake Active Member

    ok people david and i need to know how much (if any) interest there is in the remaining parts.

    here's what i can think of off the top of my head:
    Blown sti LONGBLOCK (definitely bent valves, probly bad pistons)
    '07 STi transmission w/ axles, driveshaft, rear diff, and DCCD controller
    gold front brembos and rotors (swapped by JEB)
    limited rear brembos and rotors
    5x114 hubs (will probly need some sort of replacement to keep this thing rolling)
    stock limited BBS's with tires (not sure type) w/~70% tread IIRC
    limited door cards (black instead of blue)
    sti control arms
    whiteline 27mm(??) Front Sway bar
    sti factory rear sway bar
    sti axle back.
    UGM doors
    UGM trunk w/ limited wing and all badging

    the following are parts that are already claimed but could be sold if needed:
    dash
    gauges
    steering wheel
    wiring harness/ECU

    seats (leather are already gone)

    i'm sure there are other misc. parts i'm forgetting or stuff you guys may need in particular.

    we need to know ASAP by tomorrow. otherwise it will get auctioned off or CRUSHED!!!!

    please post up guys. also those more informed than I, if someone would please post what the average prices are for these so that david can be assured he will get his monies back.

    corrections:
    rears are gold too
    wheels are enkei stock limiteds with re01r (i have a fifth one as a spare)
    I have an extra limited door card for driverside rear door.
    whiteline fsb are the biggest available 33mm? they're adjustable too.
    sti sway bar available too
    leather seats may be still available if buy back happens

    i need to at least break even if the buy back is going to happen!

    ^^^what he said.


    any takers/offers?

    How much do you need to get out of the door cards and FSB?
     
  24. integroid

    I honestly dont think you will get back the $6500 investment with a blown motor and an already picked at car. If it was complete with full STi interior and brakes, you could probably make some money.

    That being said, I would be interested in the gold Brembo's if they are in good shape.

    How are th heads on the motor?

    SOG said the valves were bent it would need new valves and a new shortblock according to them, IIRC.

    but you can only have those items if he buys the car back

    matt if you are buying LMK. i am interested in parts!

    If you can find a buyer for the tranny this thing should be profitable. You will need to cover around $2000 more right. I'll take the red hazard button and maybe the door cards if the price is right.
     
  32. 4sevens

    4sevens Member

    15 minutes left

    What price is right?

    You guys have to make specific offers or this ain't happening

    i'd put $400 on em.

    biggis - the stockers right?

    I'm about to make the call guys.

    Sorry it not going to work out.

    If someone desperately and definitely wants to buy the entire thing they could cancel the tow order Monday morn.

    I'd like to see pictures of it.

    I have the #65/800 tag. I'd be amazed if they could duplicate that!

    2pt5rs has the leather seats so they must have sourced it from somewhere else. Jason swapped his gold brembos for the stock black ones.

    Siegel has the vf43 :rofl:

    I often play back the events of that fateful day. We were only going 30mph and everything happened in slow motion. I do believe if it was RWD it would have been different. When all four broke traction, the rpm shot up and it was like we were on ice for those few sconds. If it was rwd, there would have been some steering response. We were just spinning on ice until the impact. I wasn't driving but I saw it all happen. I saw him fight with the wheel but all the steering input didn't do anything. With RWD, you'd add some gas to correct, in this case, adding gas simply perpetuated the spin. The spin was at consistent rate until impact. :eek:hnoes:
