I had these parts stolen:

intake manifold -including fuel rails, sensors, throttle body, etc

Coil packs and the rail they bolt to

valve covers

aftermarket downpipe

shipped to 35405

EDIT:So what I am saying is, I would like to try to buy these from someone if anyone has them available. Would like prices quoted that would include at least an estimate for shipping to zip code 35405. Sorry if I was unclear.

Well those seem like parts only another CA18DET owner would want, I would check around to see what local guys have CA's. And go from there.

word

I have extra coil packs+ rails and I have a pair of valve covers........

but fair market price for most of the stuff listed is expensive. hell what would anyone who didnt have a CA have need for an intake manifold for?

yet they left your turbo and ic?

If you are ever in Huntsville I have a lot of spares in the garage. The only thing I think I do not have is the coil packs. Let me know if you come up and you can see what I have.

so all they left you with was a bare block, MAF, and Ps? how does the harness look? what about the radiator?

sorry I know this isnt a ton of help, just very curious about this story.

PRECISELY, lol. Sucked big time. busted window, stole parts. I had a good condition owners manual for my 240 that they took, so I know they were an enthusiast. I am at work now but I will be getting with you guys later today about parts. thanks

wtf. Who takes the time to take an intake manifold and not just pull the entire engine. This is so fishy.

Probably someone who stumbles on a disassembled engine =P ...did I miss the part where he said it was all assembled and in the car when it got stolen?

Yeah, they pretty much decided to grab and run. I may have caught them had they gotten greedy.

ah, missed that...

"busted window, stole parts"

i don't see somebody stealing parts off a running car when they could just hotwire and steal the car so much easier. so it makes sense.

however it happened, it still sucks! hope you find the bastard who took your ****!

idk I read the busted window part and just though....... well there is just as many goodies inside my car to steal as outside. that makes more sense.

though It should narrow the number of people as only a few people know what lurks in my storage or even where it is at.

I had no back seat in a coupe so they could see the old head with the intake and exhaust mani on it in the trunk. also, I did have some gauges they grabbed under my cd player. then they popped the hood, actually took the time to unscrew the stainless steal oil feed line to the turbo and then snatch it out with the downpipe which was the only exhaust I had. they did not get my lc1 wideband but they did break the cable from the sensor to the plug on the device itself. then they grabbed a couple of ic pipes and thought about getting my radiator.
