Just found a DSM gold mine!
Just got back from a trip out in the boondocks. 123abc and i went out to look at a shell for a transmission and all the parts for a awd manual swap. Not going to lie it was a sketchy situation, and a craigslist find but i had to check it out. It was a sweet find. It turns out to be a DUI seizure and they are using it or firemans training. I got the transmission and ALL the swap parts for $300! Its a 4 bolt LSD rear end. it has a lightweight flywheel, some aftermarket street disc and a RPS pressure plate. everything else looks pretty good. 123abc got some free stuff to. im stoked. ill get pics of the parts when i get to clean them some and find some part numbers

Hell to the yes! I scored myself a new kick panel and a nice hatch cover for my Laser.

I'll be looking forward to some pics of everything cleaned up.

so far just a few parts have been cleaned up. any help on identifying parts would be awesome.

Obviously a RPS pressure plate but not sure which one, has a 24 stamped on a rivet

some form of street disc with "made in korea" and "flywheel side" stamped on it

A lightweight flywheel with "D057326" and "MIT 4 - 6155" engraved on it


Here is the nice 4 bolt lsd rear end

and the transfer case

It must have been real rusted under that car. He snapped one of the bolts that goes into the diff cover.
