Mr. Midas

Hello All,
I've been a very inactive member since taking my project off the road and living life in many other directions. Still a closet rotary enthusiast and hopeful that one day in the future when my work life is more stationary, I'll have time to implant a 13B into a runabout lake boat or something else fun and not too sophisticated.
Right now I am looking to make space and need some spending money to get through the fall, and in the process help provide y'all with some good used parts that wont blow up the bank accounts.
All parts pulled from my 1988 S4 NA automatic-to-manual conversion and have been in storage now a few years. I have photos of most things, but may still have some to move onto my pc for uploading in a follow-up or edit... once I re-learn how to post photos.

All prices are OBO + shipping or local pickup.

Transmission: $350
It is a low mileage salvage unit from Canada. Had it in my car for about 30k miles without issue. I could try to dig up old records, but fairly sure it has less than 170k miles total. Flushed it as soon as I installed it and only ran synthetic(Redline or Lucas oil) in it after. IIRC, the reverse switch wasn't working. I'll be happy to transport it up to 50miles from Hartwell, GA 30643; otherwise, I can pack it in a crate and make arrangements with your preferred shipping/freight service for a small additional fee + whatever the freight ends up being.

OEM Shifter with aftermarket ****: $20.
Includes bushings, etc to install and go.

Driveshaft: $50
Just a plain OEM driveshaft for the S4 NA 5spd. Joints move smoothly with no slop.(I'll confirm the length when I get a chance to measure it)

Koyo performace aluminum radiator: $200
Temp sensor and level sensor installed. Also includes the already-mounted custom made mounting brackets that work with the factory fan shroud!

OEM mechanical radiator fan and shroud: $100
The viscous clutch still feels good.

Custom designed and fabricated long-tube NA 13B header and mid-pipe: $250
SS mandrel-bent sections with 3" collector/resonator and 2.5" outlet. Heavy SS Racing Beat engine to header exhaust flange.
Primary pipes are about 34" long and length matched. I'll check if I have enough fresh exhaust wrap to replace the torn pieces(scraped it on a low shoulder once). The mid-pipe began as an aftermarket SS catalytic converter, but the converter quickly died and blew out. :P
Also note the 3x O2 sensor bungs for multiple setup and tuning options.
The rear flange is 2-bolt 2.5" which should be OEM compatible(I had it bolted up to the typical aftermarket SS Borla dual cat-back exhaust - already sold the borla system).
This system sounded great IMO for a NA street car. WOT could maybe get you in trouble in some locals... I never experienced undesirable attention, but I also never went into full send mode while in town.
Scared plenty of deer and dumb dogs out of the road outside of town though!


Thanks for your interest!

Mr. Midas

Quick amendments and more parts for sale... pics coming soon!

I was mistaken about the shifter - doesn't have a **** with it... not sure where that went! Also the larger shift boot with it appears to be turning gooey for some reason(oil exposure?)


I can sell the transmission cross-member with performance rubber mounts separately: $50

2nd Gen MT Starter in excellent condition: $30

OEM 2nd gen oil cooler with rebuilt lines and mounts attached: $100
Whatever paint was used on the hardlines is flaking off, but the lines themselves are fine(was running with a turbo oil pump /w no leaks when pulled)

Factory competition rubber 13B engine mount pair: $60
Low mileage take-offs in excellent condition. FBY1 pn.

And a couple non-specific things that are relevant for here...

2.5" SS Mandrel-bent U-J bend project pipes: $60 for both.
See photos for rough size. One has had a short bit of straight pipe and partial radius cut off.

Analog Pro Tach Tachometer gauge by equus: $10
Smaller sized for A-pillar mounting.

Please message me any questions and offers and I will try to respond promptly.

Hope everyone is having a safe year so far... and no shortage of covid-19 projects to tackle!

Length-matched 13B header. Note shredded heat wrap, but no dent in pipe.



Been sitting a while... a quick wash with simple green recommended.


The catalytic material spontaneously disintegrated. Now it's a stealth mid-pipe(where legal, or for track use).

SS 2.5" Mandrel-bent project pipes. apx 25" from outside radius to end of angled straight section.

Header outlet showing excellent convergence of header pipes.





FBY1 Racing rubber mounts. Slightly stiffer than plain mounts - way stiffer than old plain mounts!
























Transmission cross-member with slightly harder race rubber mounts.

Sorry for the jumbled images! Couldn't get it to upload them in order, but happy it didn't take a degree in computer science to figure out how to batch resize in windows 10.
