Wanna Know what to take out

I mentioned a while back that I had picked up an s5 GTU. I have had the car too long now and Need to DUMP it. Sorry but I cant part it out to anyone, I know I promised 13b4me the rear end but I dont have time to take it out let alone to ship it and then dump the car. So I was wondering, the small things I could take out and adapt to my s4 n/a? Any ideas? i.e. the fuel pump (worth it?) or just leave mine alone? bumpers and moldings although i have to paint them dammit it just makes me mad. Although I was advised not to take the warning lights out of the center panel or clock thingy I modified it to work for me and All seems to go well coz its still the same wires connected to the correct pins so only light that dont come on is the ABS light which I dont have anyhow.

Is shifter worth it? dont look any different just that this s5 has a mazda or rotor looking like shifter thats SUPER glued on that I cant take off so thought id take the whole thing? Any engine parts that would be worthwhile taking off this s5 and put onto my s4 that would benefit me? Just small stuff that can be done in less than 1 hour.

Any input is appreciated and if there is Anyone in the SJC area that would like to pick up the car shoot me a worthwhile offer and its yours otherwise my bros tow truck company coming for it. Sorry but no space. Car runs btw.

I know this aint a for sale forum section but Im not looking to sale so please dont flame me for it. If it needs to be moved fine!

Thanx

wait? your dumping the car? as in... junking it? well, the front/rear bumpers, side mouldings, aero mirrors, 5-lug hubs, rear end, and radio surround are probly worth the most if your planning on taking parts off for your s4. the rearend isnt hard to take out, theres 4 big bolts holding the whole entire rear subframe on. all you have to do is disconnect the brake lines and the 4 small bolts holding the driveshaft on and undo the 4 big bolts holding the subframe on the body. stuff like that is worth money to some people.

Wow I'm touched that you even remembered me at all!

I was really only interested in the rearend when I thought it might have been a GTUs anyways though... I'm sending you a PM regarding something else I need though lol...

Dump the car as in bring it to a junkyard because you don't have time to get rid of it?

I'de hope not, it's just wrecking one more RX-7 for no good reason, again.

Sorry I prefer a more reliable, purer, version of the RX7 that represents the rotary in a clean light. I'd rather show people what the rotary can do, not what a turbocharger can do...

You'd have to know Jager to understand why I posted that... I guess I'm just feeling froggy today... Must be the sleep deprivation...

The interior is Blue sorry guys. I dont wanna dump it, but Its too much of a hassle for me to keep being that I dont know the 1st thing about rotary. The car idles at 2k - 2.5k rpms and I dont even know where to look. Regardless of which. I have to get rid of it coz its taking up space. I bought it mainly for the lights and the Wing, and now that I got that, I just wanna let it go. Thanks though you guys.
