I won't even mention that either an SR20 or an RB20 is going to find it's way into my FC within a few months.

yay. That's great. That only means that there will be less turbo second gens around. Thanks for dwindling the supply and increasing the value of the 13B-T. Now GTFO!

hahaha, not the reliability crutch again. Ok, I'm just glad you're selling the TII motor instead of destroying it.

I love the reliability of these piston cars too. Maybe we should swap the LT1s from the maro, oh wait, it's been done!

someone here locally swapped an ls1 into a 240 not too long ago, and it blew up, some of the rx-7 guys were telling the guy he needed a 13b swap.

But anyways, lets not fill this thread full of crap.

hey guys ... took longer then i expected to get the car home (also grabbed some dinner with my freind).

well after i paid for it i decided maybe ill flat bed it ... well the flat bed gets there and she goes "**** that .. that ***** way to low .. even with the boards" .... well we tried anyway, and even before the cable became taught .. it was obvious the whole front end would have ripped off.

So what to do? I ended up driving it home. I have reason to believe that there is little compression on both rotors .. I may just buy another jspec engine, rebuild that and go from there ... or go to pineapple and have them do it up.

The car is very clean. There are a few caviats however. Because its lowered, the underbody of the car has obvious "oh **** we just hit a speed bump" bruises ... i.e. dings in the undercarrage. The jack points are non existant due to this as well.
Here's an example


The RE-Amemeya (i can never spell that ****) rear bumper, was molded into the bumper. It's good and bad. The bad is that the paint is cracking a bit where it was molded and the bottom of the bumper lip has a small crack in it. Repainting it would require the purchase of a new bumper, bumper overlay. Or just repainting the entire rear quarter panel area.

Aside from that theres little bullshit thats wrong ...
1. Window switch works only on low
2. Rear wiper doesnt work
3. Passenger door doesn't open
and some other very minor things i may be forgetting.

The underside has a minor amount of rust (nothing to much that i noticed .. but will look again during the daytime).

Here's some quick pics I snapped I haven't washed it yet .. she's very dirty

The momo steering wheel is to small for me so I'll be selling it soon



And a comparison picture



I'll have better pictures tomorrow
