Engine with a bad rod bearing +poorly repaired accident damage +Kalifornistan emissions requirements

=sending the shell of my ex-Challenge Mirage to the picknpull.

Should I remove the stickers first?

I'd leave 'em. Somebody else of the junkyard persuasion might see the GRM name and get curious. Anything to lead the Faithful to the Light.

My old autocrossing SL2 went to the junkyard with the numbers on the doors and everything. Leave 'em.

Leaving them could aid a future shopper who will come to this board to ask a question. Could save someone from buying a bad engine.

I'll leave them on for the potential targeted marketing for GRM. Maybe someone will notice the Evo 8 suspension I adapted for the Mirage.

I think it completes the circle.

Why is that portion of the shell not for sale? I'm sure someone (not me, I'm up to my elbows in Mazda at the moment) would enjoy such things.

We have seen GRM stickers at our local pick-n-pull. I think it's kind of neat.

Wait, you're sending something to the junkyard? Isn't that backwards
