Hey, not trying to change the subject here guys, but I need major help.. I need to find a decent S5 rotor and housing for an NA... I'm stuck in a rebuild in which my apex seals blew and chewed the rear half of my engine...

Needs to be in Iowa.

I appreciate your help!

I can vouch for that motor it has like maybe 30-40k on it. The internals are beautiful!

Ian when are you going to have some free time I'm going to be getting some more parts in the next couple weeks, probably my fmic, 16g turbo, injectors and what not and some more odds and ends to put on.

Free time? **** man who knows. In reality just figure up a date or something and we can figure out when/where and of course the price LOL. Oh, and I was all sorts of out of it when I told you the price before. Cut it in half, and thats closer to the right price (for the trunk lid).

Diego and Greg -

400 picked up or 450 delivered. I will include all seals that I kept. Also includes clutch, fly, eshaft. Basically a complete short block with some extras. This engine came out of a car with ~38K miles on it (like Steve said). Parts have already been cleaned up so minor touching up of seal grooves is all that would be needed and then soft seals and put it together.

Yeah I'll keep in touch I've got to order some stuff and send some injectors out and what not so it'll be a little bit but it is going down for sure.

Ian, ill take that engine for what you were asking. I can't buy yet for at least two weeks tho until get paid. I've got good looking torn down S4 if any one wants it, cheap..

Fattie, there was a mint triple black vert here in Des Moines, I don't know if its still there but it was at Extreme Autoplaza for $7k with 60k mi.. Dunno what's your range of price but just throwin in out there

Well once I get rid of my civic Ill be able to pull a loan.... So my price range is pretty good... But the bank pretty much told me that If i want to get a loan I have to fix 1 thing on my credit... and there is no way ill be able to without selling my car... Then I need a replacement car in enough time not to lose my job... decisions decisions...

just cause they don't like to give out dont mean they wont. For anything above 10 yrs the interest is really high. Really its all on the cars value and your credit. BTW im selling my rx8 16,500! :p lol

I'm noticing a pattern here. Every time there's a meet, my 7 is out of commission. Then again, it hasn't been in commission in the first place... Found a few nice parts off an 83 in a Des Moines junkyard. Anyone want a brown leather/cloth (or maybe vinyl/cloth, I was too busy cannibalizing the headlights) interior?
