I'm asking, not him.

Front turbo was SHOT!. shaft was bent, and it was pressurizing the engine. They just finished replacing it, ALL GOOD :D

I got the entire engine (minus turbos, IC pipes, etc) from Big Mikey (audible), and we knew it was good. it had smoked when he had it, but whatever. When we swapped out his "backwards" pcv valve, the car stopped smoking :lol:

anyway, I guess since we replaced the rear turbo, we forgot to double check the front. Oh well, it's fixed, I'm hopefully delivering the car to the dealership today. We were supposed to meet him at 8am to deliver this car, and set up a few more cars for him to buy from us, but we couldn't make it at 8, so... hopefully he's free this afternoon :(

Yeah, I like showing off my goods. :D

In my defense, that pic is ancient, and wasn't one of my better ones. It just happened that was the first one I found that gave a decent look at what we work with. Hell, I was still running a MAS a that time (I'm using a setup with no MAS now), which hasn't been on my car in years.

So, where's your underhood shots? Let's see how clean yours is. :p

uh, no.

oil pressure is perfect, no ticking, pulls hard, and once we replaced the backwards pcv valve, there was no smoke at all.

The person who buys this from the dealership will probably have one of the best running 3/S's in the entire state :lol:

[quote=""AudibleSilence""]No it had less than 90k on it and it got a 120k as soon as I installed it in my 93 VR4. I still have all of the paperwork from SKVR4 (got my 120k parts/kit from him). I had originally got it because my car's original engine spun a bearing. Where the fuck did you get 100-120k from? :rolleyes: [/quote]

its hard to keep track of ppls mileages let alone mods....100k is close enough to 90k....i was just wondering if the 120k was done....bc she mentioned earlier it was dropped right in from ur car....

Why don't you try selling cars to people in Canada? The demand for "rare" and "desireable" cars has gone WAY up since the Canadian dollar is so strong. To Canadians it's like suddenly prices in the US dropped by 25+%.

Just sold a Datsun 240Z the other day for, what I thought was a generous $6500 and the guy is driving it back to canada and already has a buyer lined up for $11k!! :eek:
