Hi,

I'm seeking to swap my GReddy kit for stock intake manifold & airbox. I might throw in the metal cat too.

The catch is that whoever takes me up on it will have to help me swap out the parts.

I'm in the Oakland Hills (SF Bay Area CA) but can drive to a Bay area garage for the swap.

 

i think you have to post a price. also why would you change the intake manifold? it should just be the intake air box and MAF tube, unless you mean the exhaust manifold.

 

PM sent bro. lemme know whats up. And any associated prices/issues.

I'm local so lets make this happen.

 

Pics???

 

damn, too bad you're on the other side of the country....

 

damn 4real 2bad ur so far away i wouldve done it

 

wow...this has to be the one of the biggest deals on the forum

 

I hit him up and I'm just waiting on a response. He has my number so we'll see what happens.

 

is cahs involved too? or just straight up trade?

 

damn you dude

 

i dont understand why he needs the intake manifold though. not saying that this isnt a good deal but the intake manifold runs for nearly 2k

 

Whoops! I did mean exhaust manifold!

I need to restore the car to stock in order to sell it, thus the post.

I am following up with the first posters so I'll keep ya'll informed.

 

thats a hell of a deal.

 

Yeah I have all the stock parts he'll need, all the way down to the wheels.

I been building big turbo cars for a while but anything to give my RX8 a little pep is worth it.


I've been following up on Slideways progress with his kit and sucks he's getting rid of it after all the motors and Charles help but it'll be going to a nice home. Just in time for Charles and Jeff to come up here and tune it.

 

hey.I'm in Miami but done want to pass this deal up.how about I pay for a shop up there to remove ur greddy kit and ship it here and I send my airbox and manifold up there?

 

I am bummed about having to part with my 8, but so it goes...

Methinks a bit of clarification is in order. What I am shooting for is to have someone show up with the stock exhaust manifold and airbox in hand then help me pull the GReddy kit off my car & install the stock parts.

Since I am working 14+ hour days, I simply don't have time to help pull parts off or install on the 'donor' car.

 

It kinda works out because I have been working 14hr days myself but I took some time off with the bad air and high temps out here in the Valley.

Just let me know when and we'll get it done asap bro.

There are a few ways we can do it so let me know.

 

humm u don't respond to PM's???

 

Probably because he's been talkin to me about it...


Its pretty much a done deal after tells me a date.

 

Sorry, I got held up in San Diego on business longer than expected.

The soonest I can do this is the week of July 26th.

I haven't agreed complete terms with anyone yet (I think a little bit of cash my way on top is reasonable).

 

how much are you asking for?

 

You know, I have no idea!

Make me an offer I can't refuse!

 

I've been waiting to hear from this guy since the first post.. lol

I have access to a shop and lift if you make the trip to Sacramento, if not I can come to you with the parts you need, as well as any other stock parts.

I haven't the slightest idea what your kit would be worth since as you said the turbo has 18K and is on its last leg.

I'd also have no idea what the labor of me uninstalling the turbo then reinstalling the stock parts would be worth either.

So at the end of the day its up to you to let me know how much you'd want on top of everything else.

I'll be available all next week (off of work) so any time you're serious about actually doing this, let me know seing as my schedule is completely open for the next couple weeks.

 

this guy is trying to sell his car in the other fs section.. asking 15.5k.
