Sorry to hear about your car. I would rip *** at the place that did the carb...But if you really wanna part it out, how much for one of the 6A's and the headlight conversion stuff?

EDIT: Just outta curiosity, how much for the Starion IC also? Is it a 14 or 16 row?

you shoulnt part that thing out..........





YOU SHOULD FIX IT

It hurts to think of somthing like that being wasted

Find a junk yard car, and pull the wiring harness, master cylinders and the hoses you need.... then re hook up everything, and spray it primer black to cover up the charcoal.... STOP SELLING PARTS THIS INSTANT

Man, that's a real shame.
If you do part it out, I'd love the tail lights.
You have PM.

Those have got to be the longest velocity stacks I've seen on a rotary with sidedraft carb! I'd bet 6 inches!!

Did you run the car without an air filter? You know rotaries do spit flames up to the throttle plates.

Sorry to see such a nice car go crispy. It looked like a labor of love....

Sorry about your loss, man. I'd definitely talk to a lawyer about getting compensated for your car, though, given that, with the information I can see, its entirely their fault. Hope your luck takes an upturn!

Jeeze, that's crazy. That's it, I'm getting a fire extinguisher.

I know you're probably not in the mood to discuss the car... but are those the tall velocity stacks from CB Performance? Did you notice any difference compared to the regular stacks? I was wondering about those things.
