I'm gonna try to keep you guys posted on my bi-monthly visits

 

Might want to post which junkyard you were at. I'm guessing there's more than one U Pick Parts in the area covered by the west forum.

Thumbs up on the public service announcement though. I helped Brismo get an s4 t2 diff one time because someone posted up.

 

Ah yeah its right off the 5fwy in Sun Valley(91352)...not the octopus but the one around the corner near Aadlen Bros.

 

nice! thanks man. im going tomorrow...gotta grab me those front FC hubs. big brakes for the FB coming soon!!

 

Umm I think I have those FC hubs... wait 4 or 5 lug???

I know I have 5 lugs for sure.

 

im gonna stick w the 4lug for now and just redrill the 5lug rotors. i dont have any 5lug wheels right now. im too PO!!

 

Git it. Yeah man grab them *****!

 

Anyone know how much A-arms cost at P-a-P? and other suspension bits?

jajaja

 

i wonder if that 13b na motor is still good..

 

DOubt it. It has rust in the rad which is a sign of inside corrosion and maybe bad water seals. One rule about junkyards and rotaries... if its crashed and totaled = most likely good motor

If it s clean and sitting...most likely in the yard cause it blew

 

About $25-30 each depending on which yard. Get the S4 ones so you get replaceable ball joints unlike S5's.

 

^^^

 

I used to go to that yard a lot back when I lived in Sunland. At the time (1998-2001) they used to regularly get very pickable 1st gens. My mint-perfect dash top came from there, in fact.

 

Yeah good luck finding anything decent now... it sucks

 

Us vultures are starving, heh.

 

They all got turned in as clunkers and haven't hit the yards yet.

 

I hope so. I'll take a day off of work to just go play in the fields of parts LOL

 

idk but thats a clean blue Z up top.

 

i raped the gtu's interior this morning. took the dash.. all side panels, door panels. couldnnt get the carpet

 

I don't think that S5 motor will be any good. It looks like a cash 4 clunkers trade in (hence the orange spray paint). I saw a ton of those clunkers at SFS ecology. I thought maybe the whole pooring crap in the engine was bs till I saw a few empty bottles of "engine kill" under the hoods of those cars with the orange spraypaint.

Thanks for posting that up though, I never thought of taking pics of the rx's in the yards to post here. I'll have to do that in the future.

 

"few empty bottles of "engine kill"

I wonder if the engine kill damages the parts so they can't be reused again, or it could be cleaned off after taking apart?

Any first hand experience on how damaging this stuff really is?
