alright, so i just picked this mx6 ls up this morning from a local guy.

he said all he wanted was what he paid for the radiator, $100. so i said what the hell ill take a look at it. i get to the place and realize that its an ls. this is when i get excited. why you ask? because its got the klde, and almost everything else i need to get my 323 running.

he claims the headgaskets are done but other than that it ran.

so heres the question, keep it and have it as an extra car? or get everything i need and scrap the car? if i can get it running ill have a decent dd that just needs some TLC an about$ 300 or so.

im kind of thinking extra car because i know the 323 wont be perfect when the swap first gets completed.

what do you think IA?

I wouldn't bother. I'd take the parts you need to finish your build and part out the rest.

It does not happen to me either. This was a first.

So I have been going back and forth all day, and I'm torn. I'm debating getting the 323 running first now with a few parts from the mx6, but keep it and get it running afterwards. Then it can still be my dd but I won't be sacrificing my main project, the 323.

the choice is clear either have two busted cars or have one nice one have 2 projects sucks up more money than you think stay focused on the 323 if it does break you have back up parts.

Keep the engine, get your 323 running, then sell the MX6 shell for $300

bit do u want a rare as klde 323... or do u wanna be riding in some auto mx6 with klde like everyone else with klde... bit i like the 323, i think ur swaps badass.. i say get the 323 running... imagine how badass that would be... besides if u start working on the mx6 the 323 wont be ready till next season then mikes gonna be running 16s this season (lol srry mike) and swearing up and down hes faster than u lol... but foreal 2 projects is to much... trust me i know... you never finish the 323 if u work on both... just take the mx6 as a blessing that came ur way to help you finish ur swap with spare parts then boom get ur money back... i mean come on lose u find exactly what you need to finish ur swap.... that wasnt no coincidence :goodjob:

Me personally would keep it and fix it, but the trannies in those things are the worst! Im srue you know. but a 5spd swap is a snap! I wanted a mx6 as a 2nd car... im kind of jealous..lol

You really wont make too much money off that car if you part it out, but a running you can get a little piece of change for. And there is honestly nothing of the mx6 you really need, and the small stuff you would need you can get from the yard.

And also trying to get cars like that to run are a pain in the ass, but if you plan on parting it out, let me get the wheels.. i need soem spares...lol

lol. i was going to get a few small things off the motor for now, like some misc. brackets and things i need. theres a guy on clubprotege whos dying to get the seats from me, but other than that i dont really have any offers for it.

im thinking after i get some things off of it im just going to put a car cover on it for now until i decide what i want to do with it.

i wish the auto halfshaft would work for the 5spd but it doesnt even look close to the same thing.

You can get $500 for it to recycle it. That's what I would do. Looks like one hell of a project to make it decent.

update.. talked to the guy today, and it turns out he cant find the key(used my buddys integra key to get the car home, lol) or the title to the car. so he said dont even worrying about giving him the $100. so now i have a free mx6 with no key or title. so most likely im just going to part the car out. quick cash on deck! :goodjob:
