    I disagree when the crank itself can easily sell for $300

      It doesn't matter what you sold it for, I could sell it right now for $20 if I wanted to, I sell it where the market is and that's actually lower than I've seen everywhere else.

        Okay you spend the couple hours taking it out and then tell me it was worth it.

        Sure you can strip a whole engine down and the individual parts may be worth a bit more. However, that doesn't mean as is, with it still being put together, it is worth what the individual parts would be worth.

        You can't say its worth something that would take man hours to actually take out of the block... it's just not logical.

          I'm sure it'll be worth about $300

            it doesnt take hours to pull a crank out of a short block, maybe an hour MAX ...

              So then do that and sell the crank... It doesn't matter what you try and sell it for at the end of the day, as it isn't mine. I was just giving my 2 cents as to why I thought the price is a bit inflated.

                    Been running around all day, if I don't get called into work tomorrow, it'll get pulled. Eric has dibs on it at the moment though...

                            Dragged the girlfriend around the bay for a parts run today... No idea why she still loves me haha.

                            Picked up Jason's salad shooters and a set of sender side skirts 8)

                            The GTI is definitely roomy!

                                No worries! Thanks for accommodating my schedule. I really appreciate it. I took a look at the cars, and I'd definitely be interested in the z3 shifter!


                                Spotted this yesterday on the way to SF
                                Who are you!?
