ok so i needed some new strut mounts for my car since the steering return ....well doesnt return. so i went to a local yard and landed in treasure. a modded gsl-se. wat i grabbed today was the rb header, presilencer, front strut spindle and tokico illuminas. i also grabbed the muffler cuz it was shiny, so i just instinctively grabbed it too. how do i tell if its an rb or not? i plan to go back to grab the front mount oil cooler and possible the front cover as well as oil pan...MAYBE.





plus it was 50% day so i only spent about $150.

so how many of you guys get to see gsl-se's in a junk yard? im curious since its almost as rare as finding an s5 fc for me here.

 

nice... my junkyard days are done.

 

How much was the dog? lol. Nice score.

 

i thought it was illegal for junkyards to sell exaust stuff?

 

whats so exciting about that. I see them all the time and I break whatever I dont want or need. I leave nothing for the birds. j/k

 

I saw one gls-se about 6 months ago in Freemont but that was the only one ive ever seen. How was the shape of the header panel. The peace inbetween the front bumber and the hood. And what kind of shape was the passengers side fender in is you remember......?

 

the body was really clean. theing thing was the interior got attacked and passenger door. i wonder why they junked it. mightive been a blown motor..had 174k miles. but other than that it was modded and clean body besides wat i listed earlier. fred mato something somethign that goes to de anza lost a really nice car. lol

 

o yea... is there a difference in hoods like the fc where some models have aluminum hood and some have steel? for some reason the hood on that car felt lighter..maybe its because my hood is held on by 2 bolts.

 

the only way to tell if its an rb parts is look for the "RB" engraving somewhere on it.... but it most liley looks like either a stock muffler or a pacesetter muffle

 

****, you were not in the junkyard. you were in my garage.

 

No difference in hoods. Is this at the San Jose Pick-N-Pull or some where else? I think I could use those body parts.

 

I wish I had a junkyard around here with Tokico Illuminas for an FB, and RB exhaust. That is great.

 

thats definatley a racing beat muffler, the RB muffs didnt have any engraving, i can just tell by the tips and hanger mounts

 

its a racing beat muffler for sure! to tell if the header is a rb, you'll see a cutout on the flange that says rb. AMAZING find! you best just buy the whole car!

 

Damn, the manifold isn't even installed and turned on and it's already glowing hehe.
Also, I found some coilovers at a junkyard but for a Honda.

 

i wish i couldve bought the whole car! but im a college student and have no place to put the car. i barely have space to put the parts i just bought.

 

How about sharing the wealth? Was that the PnP? Commercial or Monterrey? I need some interior parts.

 

if you want engines come to the arkansaw

redneck guy: (looks at me funny when i have an engine in my arms)
me: how much?
redneck guy: that aint no 4 cyllinder wtf?
me: no cyllinders
redneck guy: no cyllinders? fifty bucks.

i have eight 12a blocks and a 13b in behind my shed under a tarp and i havent paid more than fifty dollars for any of them

 

Hey peter, good find! Sorry I didn't get a chance to say hi at de anza (I was in a hurry to trailer a couple of cars back), but keep an eye out of 13" wheels for me, k?

Alvin

 

I love rednecks! Seriously though I've see three or four Se models in the junkyards around Fresno. There is no lack of FBs in Fresno junkyards I couldn't tell you how many I've seen seriously. Which reminds me I do need to go get some more crap to store in my crap holder (garage)

 

How much for that goodlooking dog?
