    I can't take it anymore!!

    I'm selling my euro 325ix! This car has been nothing but a nightmare to work on. It has a rebuilt bottom end ( Ross pistons, rmi rods with arp 2000 head studs), turbonetics t3/t04e turbo charger, carbon fiber a/f ratio, boost and oil gauge, jensen cd/DVD player, greedy type rz bov and an eBay fmic. I've also replaced the fuel pump along with timing belt and spark plugs. For some reason now i cant get the damn thing to start and im tired of working on this car frankly. I'm asking $5000 obo. Pm if interested.

          Well I changed my mind. I probably shouldn't of posted in such a haste. I'm actually going to either part it out or sell it to a junk yard. I got it running last night (finally) but it was throwing all kinds of blue smoke everywhere. I took the turbo and manifold off and I found that the smoke was coming out of the third cylinder. I guess I had a bad set of rings when I rebuilt the thing. Anyways I've pulled all my aftermarket stuff out and I'm parting the rest of the car out.

            So it's a turbo iX? (obvious question I know)

            What shape is the drivetrain in?

              why part the car? is there body damage? If the engine were to be replaced, would it be a perfectly good iX?

                Yeah it would be a great ix. It ran perfectly fine before the build. It feels like I was cursed through this whole project. There's a little bit of rust on the body but no under carriage damage. I'm willing to part out everything including drivetrain, engine ( rods are still good) and I'll be selling the turbo kit ( manifold, down pipe, exhaust, modified fuel rail with afpr, all lines and fittings, fmic, piping and t clamps. I'm letting the turbo kit go for $1,200.

                  If anyone is willing to rebuild the engine I'll sell the car minus the go fast goodies for $1,500. It would need new rings is all I'm thinking, unless you want to bore it out then you would need pistons. I figure I would give the community an opportunity to get parts off this thing before I decide to sell it to a junkyard.

                        don't send it to the junkyard. I GUARANTEE there is an enthusiast willing to pay much more than a junkyard will give you.

                          I hope so. It's a great car and I would like to see it go to someone who can make it happen.

                            Intriguing. I could be interested if nobody else comes though.

                              I'm trying to get it out of here within two weeks so hopefully someone takes it away.
