    MS3 Front Clip incl. Trans, Struts, Rack, Shafts, Brakes

    Stuff is still for sale. Was extremely busy past few weeks. I'm about to put it on craigslist and/or/maybe eBay. As a feeler, how much might someone pay for a ported and polished DISI head with a port-matched, stock intake ? Im a machinist and I've got this in the works.

    People. I do not bite. Please PM me or whatever. Everything except the left half-shaft is still available. Rotors are also possibly spoken for I'm just waiting for a micrometer from a buddy to confirm they are ok for a buyer.

    I got the *clunk* from somewhere near the trunk.

    Just put in an 500 mile engine from a 2008 MS3. It's like a brand new car. My engine was a turd by comparison (turbo had a half inch of axial play, as an example) and I haven't even laid into this new one. But, it was installed and somehow the throwout bearing got damaged. Making a s*** ton of...

    I got the *clunk* from somewhere near the trunk.

    Yah. A week later a connecting rod (Cyl #1) made a gorgeous window in my block. If only I had a dream of that event.

    Following are some more pictures. I'm not Ansel Adams. The sun was directly overhead and I didnt have my studio reflectors or bounce flash on hand. The lonely O2 sensor (I think that's what it is) is from a 2006 MS6 w/ 75k miles. The threads are a little boogered but it's still functional...

    My trunk clunk? Lugnuts were loose on my drivers side rear wheel. I had a dream about my wheel coming off and I woke up wondering if that was the problem. Sho 'nuff.

    No. I'm fixen to sell only the things I've got listed there. Regarding the MS6 engine, mostly mechanical parts and sensors directly connected. I will have a formal list once I know what is and is not salvageable. I'm getting PM's asking "how much for the trunk lid?" and "are the rims for...

    Another clutch thread? Yes. ACT vs SPEC vs ... ?

    So, my clutch is toast. I dont even want to take it on the freeway. Slips at like 3000 in 3rd, 4th, 5th... with even the slightest throttle input. I'm out of warranty and do not really want an OEM setup. Ive been looking at the ACT ZX4-HDSS (Street clutch) and their ZX4-HDG6 (6-puck sprung)...

    I got the *clunk* from somewhere near the trunk.

    Good stuff. Keep us posted. There's no doubt the rear diff mount isn't very substantial but, in my case, my clutch is slipping and I need new tires and I need to paint my trunk and don't quite have room in my budget for this repair.

    I got the *clunk* from somewhere near the trunk.

    Ive got a clunk in the trunk too. Is the rear diff mount for sure the only possible cause for this?

    the ko4.....

    OP plz read a bit about this motor and how it interprets boost needs. MBC isn't what you wanna go with. But, since you sound like quite a chump, do what you fancy.

    Interior Squeak / Rattle Discussion Thread

    I didnt touch my doors.... most cars use fragile little plastic pieces to secure panels. I actually found the Mazda ones to be comparatively robust, but you still need to be careful. There's probably a speaker install page somewhere on the site, but otherwise just have at it. I recommend you...
