Man the whole car looks like crap. Headlights look cheap, and stereo over the top. Wheels are bad too.. Body kit isn't so bad. For 18k it better have under 60k miles.

Yay for Eff Bees!

Btw, if anyone sees a good deal for a rolling chassis RX-7 let me know. Needs to have good body and interior.

Does the solenoid have an open circuit?

if the solenoid is still good you should check your wiring and try to clean it.

Usually it's a bad electrical connection.

I may be ready to part with skeletor unfortunately, I really dont think i can find the time/money for him with the 10th AE chewing on my wallet full time. It needs paint but body is in good shape, ZERO rust clean title. I have most of an S5 black interior that can go with it if the price is right.

you will need to pick it up of course so get that figured out before you make me an offer- you probably dont want to pay me to deliver it

I caught ya on Facebook, not AIM. lol

Only problem is trying to put all the wiring back in for the dash, cluster, and idiot lights. I've never torn an FC completely apart so I'm not sure how it all goes back together is the problem. I would need it as a complete 5 lug rolling chassis with TII brakes and rear end but other than that I don't think I need anything. I guess it all depends on what you're looking to get for it?

Following sockets all metric; 10,12,14, and 17 i believe. Then patients? Special tools would be a flywheel holder if you plan to do it by hand. Oh and a really huge flywheel socket!! lol

Flywheel is 2 1/8 or 54mm. Take it off with an impact. You'll thank me later. Also the main pulley bolt should be heated before attempting to impact off. The rest is fairly normal sizes, etc.

Great, much appreciated, and many thanks in advance.

I've stressing out trying to find what I will need besides the basic list of parts.. That definitely helps

Now I just need my S4 engine GONE and its time to get crackin, then get that thing back on the streets from being MIA for 2+yrs.

Has anyone bought the aftermarket gasket kit from Atkins? Im debating if its worth saving the $60-something over the OEM gasket..

BTW, Go Lesnar lol
