Questions I still had from viewing just the pics could not get out of the office today.
What brakes are on the car.
What does the front look like behind the bumper, intercooler, radiator, etc.
Rear wheel & suspension in one picture look off.

With that I think anything over 10k is not worth it.

I know the car had Stoptech trophy series BBK. I saw a pic behind the front bumper but a long time ago. It had bad damage. Not worth 12K IMO. But hard to say. There was at least 100K in the car. It's in a salvage yard for a reason.

wstar 11-27-2012 05:19 PM

Well, the big wildcard in my mind was whether it still had that $9,300 set of JRZ 3-way coilovers, and whether the one on the damaged front corner was destroyed. If it had that and most of the brake hardware, maybe some of the custom hardware for cooling, maybe cut out most of the cage for re-use on another car, etc, it might've been a decent pickup for somewhere in the $6-10K range. I didn't get a chance to see it in person first so I let it go :)

SPOHN 11-27-2012 05:33 PM

I forgot about the JRZ's.

EVOR 11-27-2012 07:28 PM

This Z was at salvage yard auction twice. First time back in sept. it had a serious front right damage. The wheel was off. At that time original race seat was still on the car. This time the front right was fixed. But I think stoptech BBK was removed. driver side race seat replaced. Car listed as runs and drives. I think someone had fixed it before. They use it as race car for few rounds and salvage the car again. My max offer was at 8800. I think 12300 is just to much of risk.

Am I reading this correctly? It's back on auction? Copart

wstar 12-23-2012 08:18 PM

Yup. I guess the previous buyer stripped the good stuff, either that or the sale fell through.

guru 12-25-2012 02:43 AM

it appears the jrz coils are still there, i will check it out wednesday morning. im off this week.

Rusty 12-26-2012 05:55 AM

Not worth the price.

wstar 12-27-2012 09:53 AM

Thanks for checking it out. Yeah $15K is too much. Someone should talk that owner into selling off the JRZ's separately (maybe offer him $5K for the set as-is if they're not obviously damaged, then send them to JRZ for refurb?).

travisjb 12-27-2012 03:25 PM

$4k for used JRZs, $3K for used motor, $2K for everything else... having trouble understanding where he gets to $15k?

I am going to bump this thread since I am parting out some of the pieces that were missing from the car. I knew the owner of the vehicle and the individual that had wrecked the car. Before the insurance picked up the car, some aftermarket pieces were removed from the vehicle.

They included the Hotchkis front and rear sways bars, both Greddy blow-off valves, both wastegates, the stoptech trophy brake kit, the aeromotion wing and some other bits and pieces.

The front right JRZ coilover was toast so the complete suspension was left on the car as well as the wheels. The car did suffer alot of damage when it hit the dirt embankment and the owner decided just to part ways with the car.

Cutting to the point, the Stoptech trophy kit is currently for sale in the classifieds here. The sway-bars were sold to another forum member here not too long ago. If anybody is interested in the parts that were listed, feel free to pm me.

RIP...
