to be honest you could sell it for more if its not leaking and not cracked, i sold my leaking one for 50 plus shipping. I spent over a month trying to find one...... some guy from texas told me the same thing when he bought mine. He found my MSP partout thread on craigslist and bought it from me. He said he was looking for longer then me for one. the stock rad you only have two options. AWR which is 550 and new oem which is 350 i think.
shipping alone is 20-30 bucks, mainly cause you need to pack the s*** out of so its size triples. Doesnt take much to damage one.

I will be needing one new or used. If it's new I also need a ring gear. PM me a price
Transmission dropped. Two new casualties in the cause. The the nuts for two bolts holding the lower engine support (front motor mount connects to it) broke their welds inside the radiator support. Luckily there was enough slack with the rubber mounts that I could move it out of the way to drop the transmission. Might need to have a shop fix them if there's slop when I put everything back together.

hey would you be able to get the measurments of the 3 bolts for the rear motor mount? i see you have them off. i lost mine and need to buy more. or if anyone knows that info.
Everything is breaking because I live up north in the rust belt. Those welds on the sub frame nuts are never sturdy enough to take the torque of an impact gun if there's rust. PBBlaster doesn't even help that much. If I hadn't driven this thing in the winter then it would be a piece of cake, just like my 1987 Nissan Pulsar from North Carolina. Working on that thing is a dream. Crack the bolt loose and take it out by hand every time.
719prottege, I'll get you a measurement either tonight or Monday, tomorrow's auto-x will wipe me out and I won't remember.

Ok, figured I would just go out there and do it since I was thinking of it. Found my bolt guide cheat sheet and measured them. I don't have the bolt that goes through the mount, because it's still on the car.
Bolts for rear motor mount to attach to transmission
M12 size, 1.25 thread pitch
2x 70mm length
1x 85mm length

Who has the Forge WGA? What is your opinion of it? Would you get it again and does it spike real bad? I read 1 review over on speed circut stating that it spikes pretty bad.
I had one but never installed it. I have heard mixed reviews out the ass on it. One thing I will say it, its the most badass looking wastegate for our car hands down. Its gorgeous. If you get one to work properly, your a lucky man because its super high quality.
