700 yo yo's for an engine with a wrecked bottom end? Is it not the same basic engine that's in a mondeo ?

[jpo]

Not wrecked, but certainly needs attention sooner rather than later. That I'm not sure about but if you can find one, add the price of a new crank (if it even came to that) + shells all-round + the most expensive labour you know of & find one anywhere near the price in total please show me & I'll happily adjust.

Prices updated to clear - make me an offer especially if you want to take the engine, 6-speed gearbox, diff, exhaust etc: the worst I'll do is say no.

Offers on this even?

[jpo]

Price drop to free up some space - €300 takes it away.

I believe its the same 6 speed as the RX8 with a different bell housing. Could be wrong though google has failed me before.

Does anyone know where the MK3 owners hang out in Ireland?

[Fergus]

Mk3 owners don't 'hang out' and your selling scrap metal, I'm sorry for saying it but somebody had to as this post is from last January.

[jpo]

If anyone would like to offer a constructive opinion on where I might find a group of MK3 owners to see if it would be of any interest (block or ancillaries) to them please post up.

Offers welcome.

There's a few groups over on FaceBook, here's one of them with over 160 members that I'm in. https://www.facebook.com/groups/701339086660911/
Hope that helps.

Cheers Fergus! I've added the rest of my bits & pieces to that group now.
