Okay, here's the situation, I bought a 94 TSi AWD for $4500 in January, and the engine went about a month later. It's a JDM 6-bolt that supposedly had less than 60,000 miles. There is at least one damaged valve and probably some damage to the lower end (I haven't had the oil pan pulled yet. Now, I'm just trying to minimize my losses. What I want to do, is sell the performance parts I have, get a good engine and have it installed (I'm not qualified to install and don't have the tools or facilities.)
Here are the parts I want to sell:
WEB CAMS, Street Grind (excellent condition except for one very minor scratch)--$350 OBO
PROFEC A EBC (nearly new, all necessary parts included)--$350 OBO
HUGE T-4 HYBRID TURBO, .60 trim, 1.15 AR (never been used)--$800 OBO
BLOWN ENGINE--$Make an offer$
I might consider selling the car, but first I want to see about getting an engine put in it. If you have a good engine, I would be interested in knowing about it. If anyone out there can reliably perform an engine swap, I would like to talk to you about some kind of arrangement. Cash or parts for labor, maybe.
