In that spirit here we go...

I'll keep an eye out but keep in mind that I'm not running a recycled parts finding business in this thread. It's meant as a heads up for other members/guests, so if you need a more pro-active effort, I'd suggest you work your local junkyards and do what I do: search eBay (Stores section may have what you need), www.searchtempest.com (Craigslist batch search tool), www.bing.com/shopping, shopping.google.com, shopping.yahoo.co.jp, and occasionally amazon.com. I don't search them all everyday, so like I said, if you need something in a hurry you'll probably want to search yourself.

Best of luck, and like I said, I'll keep an eye out for you.

Stock head unit if anyone needs one. No reserve and opening bid is $5.

Radiator for $117, not sure whether that's a good price or not though.

Mentioned this one earlier in this thread. Might work for you, but you'd still need an insert and a #@%!-ton of Bondo.

Dealer accessories brochure for anyone interested in looking up what you don't yet have. ;)

Anybody want to be a guinea pig? I'm sure this will definitely work as a bolt-on mod. :rolleyes:

My friends and I refer to these as "Erector-Set" spoilers. I'm sure it would look oh-so-classy on your VX. ;) Price is pretty high too.

That turbo kkit is not for a vx. It's just a kit that u cut/mod to fit so be careful if u want it.

I know, I just think it's funny when you see products advertised as fitting a particular vehicle then read further in the ad to discover that it's basically on you to make it work.

I think I'm gonna start selling a custom vx turbo kit. Kit will include turbo intercooler and long straight piece of aluminum. I promise it can be made to work....lol

The only catch is, you have to drop off and pick up from a greyhound station. Its really easy though, its a whole separate area than the bus terminal.

I have also used them to ship a bumper from Ohio to Florida for less than $100.

I've posted about this before, but I second that JAMAS!!! Greyhound's shipping prices are unbeatable! I shipped my backseat to Osteomata Phoenix to Miami, weighed 65 lbs, cost $73. I bought a "large wardrobe box" from U-Haul for $12, plus some nylon reinforced tape and she was good to go! Os said it arrived in fine condition, took maybe 4-5 days. Both UPS & FedEx Ground were around $235+. Savings was well worth the hassle of drop off/pick up at a Greyhound terminal.

So did anyone here pick up that Crashed Ironman...???

Seems like a few bidders pumped up the price.


jo

I am still POed about that auction. Bid retraction should not be allowed. It enables someone to figure out your high bid, and then plan accordingly. BS.

So what was the final price?
