1990 mx6 gt for sale. needs work

**mx6 z28** · 8-17-08, 16:02

Ok so this is an upset but my 90 mx6 gt is for sale now after a huge attempt at getting her right and giving up after soooo much frustration. I have owned her for a year and in that time have replaced all this:

- both cv shafts
- ball joints
- a inner and a otter tie rod
- did the shift gate lock tight (mint)
- brakes all around
- e brake cables

And then came the motor swap.
So about 3 months ago I had a main bearing go on the stock motor somewhere around 280km and decided I loved the car so much I would put a replacement in her tunned out.
So here are a list of things I put in her about 2 months ago:

- Brand new racing motor mounts sent up from states
- Brand New alt
- used new power steering
- Boost control
- probinator chip
- brand new tb boot
- brand new cold air
- 2.5 exhaust, flex pipe, highflow cat, and performance Brullen muffler
- brand new ngk plugs and wires
- brand new distributor cap and rotor
- brand new thermostat
- brand new fuel filter
- brand new rad cap
- brand new oil pan gasket
- brand new intake man gasket
- brand new exhaust man gasket
- brand new dual friction clutch stage 3
- brand new throwout bearing
- I had the flywheel machined at car quest
- used yokohoma tires all the way around with alignment
I'm sure I missed lots but thats the just of it. Alot of time I put into cleaning that engine/engine bay!
I have receipts for everything and reason for selling is the guy I bought the motor off on this site told me that it ran perfect a couple of weeks prior to me buying it. Long story short I fired her up and there was a hla that I had to swap from my spare block (comes with deal) and did a comp test she was perfect and still is. Then when I drove her she smoked out the tail on deceleration only which I thought was valve stem seals. I drove her anyway just didn't use engine brake and all was good till I broke in the clutch and gave her boost for the first time. At that moment she left a cloud of white. She needs a head gasket which is only around 100 bucks, but i'm so fed up with this car and the a-hole who sold the motor to me, and the money I put into her that I bought a mk3 supra instead and now I want this car gone.

$1300 or best offer! I just put $2000 into her in the past 2months
Lots of new parts and receipts. 1000km on new clutch shes just broken in and holds outstandingly strong.

Good car for someone looking to perform and has some time to do the work, just have to do a head gasket. U will have to machine the head before reinstalling it and replace valve seals aswell. This car flys when running proper.

Lots of engine [shizzle] and lights and all sorts of stuff comes along with the car along with PICTURES of clutch installation, engine removal and re-install.Big loss for me but feel better from my mk3.

Congrats on the MK3...

regarding the mx6 maybe you might want to consider parting her out...might do better that way

and post pics or replies would be limited indeed.

Parting isn't all it's cracked up to be. Actually, it's a huge pain in the ass. I ended up giving [shizzle] away in the end, and even ate the cost of shipping on a few things.

Yeah I remember even when you were giving the stuff free no one was biting

and I can definitely see parting out neing a huge PITA but maybe if it doesn't seel he'll have to try that

oh and thanks for eating the shipping on the boost line conditioner

I never forgot
