Default DIY MS3X FS/FT

Built this to 90% completion, then ran out of free time. Sat for a month, and my build is now going in a new direction.

DIY MS3X built using Braineack’s instructions. Wired for 90-93, but still able to be converted to any year 90-05, just switch up the wiring harness and add some jumpers inside for the later years. Everything is complete except wiring the expansion and main board connector wires to the ecu connector. Brand new ecu connector included. Everything from DIYAutotune kit also included. Asking $650 OBO.

A MS3 + X is 555.49 brand new.

A not failed maybe fried clearly untested project by someone wanting to trade for a working easy install PNP unit, priceless...

I'll give you $200. I'll finish it, test it and either give it back to you or sell it for a reasonable price myself.

It’s not fried, and no I have not tested it because it’s not finished. I have around 12 hours of work put into it thank you very much.

Isn’t it like $650 for a brand new, ready to go MS3X fully assembled? If it’s 90% complete and you have 12 hours into it why don’t you just finish building it?

I don’t know how much it is for one already assembled. Just trying to recoup some costs.

I’ve already switched to MS2PNP. Maybe I will finish it if I get bored enough, but honestly it wasn’t very fun for me. And I don’t have much interest in it now that I’m running MS2. Building it taught me I electronics and wiring lol

Then why are you "Willing to trade for MSPNP2 90-93".....not suggesting you fried anything in the build (would be hard to tell until it gets powered up) but having bought and finished a MS2 before its not rocket science but its not for the faint of heart either.

Updated original post, I acquired a cheap MS2 since the OP.

I’ve already explained I lost interest in finishing it. I don’t want to deal with the headache of finishing the wiring and adding supporting extras later. And I got a great price on a brand new MS2 so I jumped on that and it’s currently installed in my car and running fine. Now there’s even less motivation to take out the MS2 when it works great in my car.

What is everyone’s gripe with me?

I would love to recoup as much as I can but a market economy gives price control to the buyer. So we’ll see what happens in the next week or so! Anything is better than nothing

Alright, $250. I’m tired of it sitting here and I’ve got a project car that’s thirsty for a new clutch
