#132405, "Usability of maintenance parts… "


          

Hi everyone, long time member. My 98 RS survived a long time and I was going to do a lot of maintenance to it, but a spark plug blew out the top of the head. I had it fixed and traded it in. That was four years ago and I have finally got around to boxing up all the parts I had. I am not looking to sell here, I am really just looking to see if they are still useable. I don’t want to sell something to someone only to have it be completely worthless. Most of this stuff is 5 years old. I currently have:

A Purolator fuel filter, never used.
A Mopar water pump with gasket, never used, not even removed from the sealed packaging
A Timing Belt, never removed from sealed packaging
A Timing Belt Tensioner, still in the box
A Thermostat, with gasket, still sealed in packaging from Mitsu Dealer.
A Sachs Clutch Kit with a release bearing, still in the box

Again, I am not looking to sell here (although I may) but I wanted to see what everyone thought of the usability of this stuff because of the age. Moderators, if you need to move this, please feel free.

Thanks

All of those things are worth it to sell. The oil filter can be thrown in with someone's purchase though, :p

That happened to a friend of mine. His car sounded like a WRX... without the turbo.

I CONTRIBUTED TO THE WIKI!
ah... turbo. I love the turbo, the boost, the speed, the sound.
and its all better when you do it yourself. cheaper too.

Yes, I was on my fourth set of spark plugs at 148K miles. I was using NGKs, just like you were supposed to, but of course I believed the Pep Boys guys and went with Bosch. That's what did me in. Cylinder 4 popped out at 153K. Yes I blame Bosch

Jesus man. How terrible. I bet it was hard to let her go.

I would definitely would be interested in that Sach's Clutch Kit & TOB.
