need help with a 3rd gen in SE area...

so ive found a FD locally, and i was wondering if this is a good buy.

Mods: half-bridgeport motor with 1600 cc secondary, 750cc primary injectors, hiflo Denso racing fuel pump, Aeromotive FPR, Pettit downpipe, stainless cat, blockoff plate kit, Racing Beat catback exhaust, Greddy Intercooler, Apex'i Power Intake, Fluidyne radiator with new hoses, Greddy Profec-B specII electronic boost control, Greddy boost gauge and turbo timer. Currently using a Greddy PowerFC standalone ECU with commander on a conservative tune, will need a tune by a professional but I will include the Datalogit PC connection and program, with wideband 02 sensor for tuning. Turbos and tranny were rebuilt at 75k mi. Tranny shifts smoothly and has no fifth gear grind. Also installed are Spec lightweight flywheel with new ACT clutch. Cosmetic mods: '99 spec front bumper with '99spec rebar, and '99spec front/rear lights (all genuine Mazda parts). Upper and lower intakes are powdercoated black. Tires are Yokohama AVS sports and have about 75% tread left. Alpine MP3/CD player. Because I have no need for it I'll include an old stock motor and flywheel, original harness, ECU, and fuel injectors if the buyer wants an old motor to play with or use as a spare. Old motor just needs new seals and a rebuild and is worth at least $2000 as is. I'll even throw in an engine hoist. Willing to ship at buyer's expense. Old motor and hoist are for pickup only. Also included is a new in box set of clear lens headlights from Wisesports worth $200.

here's the link.

If it doesn't have any boost, cooling, or tranny problems, sounds like a good buy. Looks pretty sharp too, I like it. Definitely go and test drive it first though.

I am guessing he meant Apexi?? I always get scared when the seller does not know what they have!

He is including a bad motor that he says is worth 2k? Last I saw they were going for $800-1000!
