So, I built / am building my 3.9 v6 powered rx8 over the last 2 years.
I got it running well enough to trailer it to the challenge last year. However, since I got it running about 2 weeks before the challenge, I didn't even try for the underbudget category. I just showed up to play with my new toy.
My budget right now is somewhere around $1900. However, that includes recoup for a few big items.
Now, here is where the poor planning and being a luddite venn diagrams come together...
I can't find the files on my laptop for the receipts for the selling transactions (and 1 of the buying transactions). Furthermore, I have the threads on Facebook messenger, but the price listed is no longer visible after some amount of time and listed as sold.
So, here are the items (and what I *remember* i paid / sold them for). Obviously, I would love it if 5 of you would either back me up, or suggest a new value.
Items I bought:
Engine- 2007 gm 3.9 60 degree v6 lz9 could be out of a minivan or a pontiac g6. Originally listed for $400 with trans. Paid $200 and left the Trans with the seller.
Items I sold (all items from 2004 Mazda rx8 6 speed):
Transmission (looked good, and functioned well according to the PO): $350.00
Engine (core with most accessories): $350.00
Driveshaft: $125
Starter motor (upgraded S2 type): $75
Ac compressor: $100
Catalytic convertor and exhaust from engine to end of cat: $150.
Feel free to either agree, or suggest a new value. I am not trying to pull a fast one.
If you made it this far, thank you! If you actually respond in this thread, I'll gladly give ya a hug at the challenge!
