Now offering J-Spec motors

I just wanted to give everyone here a preview of our new venture into the sale of J-Spec engines. The page to get the sneak peek is www.fc3s.org/motors.html It isn't linked on the rest of the site yet. I will start selling the engines probably after this weekend. I started a few sales on thepartstrader.com just to see how my prices were set. Let me know if you guys/gals are in need of anything.

very nice, you should check to see if you can find a place that can bridgeport and streetport and raceport and a bike shop to polish em too on special request. Just possibly promise a certain amount of pieces to do work on for a lower price or perhaps just give em all your needed once a month.
Probly too much hassle but still an idea.

way to go :-D

I can get the series 4 engines, they just take longer to find since they are older cars. The price is the same.

Very nice. One thing though. It's electric motor, gas engine. There's no such thing as a gasoline motor. Sorry, but that just always bothers me...

That is some funny *** ****. I didn't even think of looking for a dictionary.com. Do you have to pay for those or something? hehe.

Good way to hold your ground. Edumucation cna beya beech.

Sorry, but if Webster says it's so you must stand corrected.

That's very strange. Up unti la few years ago, the dictionary would have agreed with me. I know, because I actually looked it up about 5 years ago to prove my point. Guess they changed it. At any rate, in engineering circles it is still wrong to say "motor" when you mean "engine".

Can you prove that the engines only have 20,000 miles on them?

How could you do that without actually seeing the car that they came out of?

Yup. We use paypal or billpoint to accept credit cards. There is a 2% aditional fee added to use credit card though since they charge us that amount. Send us an email through the site for shipping pricing and to receive a formal quote.

Yeah, pay us 100% of the amount and we offer 0%APR Just kidding, no we don't. We are just doing this through the site, and we don't have any capital to offer loans. Sorry.
