If I someday get this mazda rx8 6spd to work in my e9, I'll definitely will sell my 265 "kit" on BAT since it's 95% complete.
Man, things getting way expensive these days.

is that all it would take to upgrade/change the engine, $8k, all-in? If so, sign me up!
Man, seems like there would be a market for this.
Akin to what BLuntech/IE sells for 2002s:
Al--Congratulations on your upcoming marriage. Since today is my 53rd wedding anniversary, I can say with experience that almost all of the parts you mentioned above will be the endless topic of, "When are you going to sell this stuff?"
“kit”
AFAIK it was tested by a reputable shop in CA. I’m sending my dogleg there. He pulls the case apart, changes the seals, and checks for wear on critical parts.
Accurate.. It's the highly regarded Pete's Gear Shop. He has a process where he pulls it apart and does detailed internal measurements to discern wear and tear. He did my Dogleg 265/5. Takes him a bit to do it as he's thorough.
And since we're talking high-dollar transmissions, I STILL have my 265/5 CR box sitting on the shelf. Clean bill of health. Considering where this auction will end up - 10-11k, I'm seriously considering putting it on Bat now!
Tyson,
there will probably be considerable interest with the e30 m3 special interest group. if you want to sell it or put it on BaT, i can post on the SIG and let them know its coming up.

Thanks! If I get bored and want to deal with Bat, I'll let you know. Appreciate the offer.
We, at 2002s Only, are already working on this. I'll keep everyone posted on the progress.
Any idea what he charges for the diagnostics?
I think I paid 400-450? It was pre-covid. It's all a blur
450.00
Fair price for a detailed inspection and reseal. Does he have common wear parts (bearings, synchros)?
Hey now, want to hear more about this…Using the adapter from UK? I have a pretty good supply of 6 spds…
Al
Synchros yes
bearings no
He said the close ratio parts are getting hard to get which makes a box that's gone through his process that much more valuable. Including the one in the bat auction...

Glad I scored my 5-speed when I did. Even happier it received a clean bill of health while being installed by @sfdon and crew. But I'll take @tferrer 's comment about selling his trans one step further: Do I just sell my coupe? I sold my 1-year old 911 because I was too worried about driving it/value. I'm starting to get this vibe about the E9...
Is that really a question? A resounding no..you just got it running! If you take your argument to its logical conclusion, where do you stop? When you're driving around in a 74 Pinto with bald tires and bad plugs? Life is to short to drive shitty cars!
I just looked at your 2002 site. Very cool. As having just put a deposit down on an 02, and having never owned one before, I'm currently consumed with all sites with 02 related stuff! It's a whole new world where parts are everywhere and you don't have to frequent dark alleys or German brothels trying to find that illicit dealer of D-jet parts!
Oh sure, the old "looking for D Jet parts" story...
