personally, I'd say no since it's not a full set, and heavily used as u stated..
but im sure somebody can make it work or "Frankenstein" something if need be, assuming they want them enough
ps what exactly do you mean by "heavily used"?
50kmi?...1000kmi?...more?
and "broken"?
broken mount?...blown strut?...bent shaft?...other?

Happy New Year!
Busy holiday for me.
Sunday, after hosting giant family get-together on Christmas day: daily driver Jetta loses life to big tree.
Monday: Jetta carcass sold! Apparently a huge underground of TDI fans out there lusting after engine and tranny.
Thursday: after much searching, buy a used RVR gt.
Friday: sober up and look for snow tires.

$750. A 2003 with 285,000 km. Was that too low? Buyer came and handled everything, I just stood there. And it was almost personal with that car, I hated it for years.
Wrecker offered $160 because "steel prices are really low right now". *****.
On the other hand, I think I did well with the RVR. Private sale, 2011, totally loaded, 108,000 km, AWD, panoramic roof, awesome sound system, new michelin tires (expensive ones) and discs/pads, all work done at dealer and up to date, only ever driven and sat in since new by beautiful hot 20-something Fijian girl so it looks mint and smells delicious. $13k.

some people go crazy over the diesel stuff...
specially the hypermilers...
03 jetta tdi with 285xxxkm...
just went on kbb and it shows base options and assuming it's the lower trim model in fair condition, they it's worth a bit over $1.5k...
but since it met w/a tree I'd say $750 wasn't a bad deal at all...they get a engine/tranny and any other part they can use...and u get rid of the thing...lol
good job...also enjoy the Fijian girl.....
uhh....i mean Fijian girl's car...:P

Hey everyone!
The 04-06 Ralliart section has been kind of slow lately so I figured we could start a general discussion thread to just shoot the crap and talk about anything really. Doesnt have to be RA related, or even about cars, it can be about anything you feel like posting about. Im sure you all know how General Discussion threads or Random Thought threads work. Just remember to keep it civil or this will probably get closed... all rules of EvoM apply so no talking about illegal racing, or posting videos of illegal racing activities, and all that... You know the rules. If you dont go read them in the link provided. Lanzer approved this thread for me a while back I just now got around to writing and posting it though.
I feel like this should have a longer intro or a goal or something... but I cant think of anymore to say or what a goal could be. We can talk about it in the thread! :P
So lets get this started.

The brakes on the RVR are somewhat underwhelming when going down steep hills while fully loaded. But i'm sure you'll enjoy that huge glass sunroof 
On another note, I almost skidded into the curb today but thank goodness i was going slow enough to steer away. Conti DWS tires aren't made for frost :S
