Wow, im seriously surprised that this hasnt gotten closed yet.

Why would it be closed?

I remember a F/S thread while back relating to the 5th gen that got closed stirring up some heated argument.

But then again, its got a 3SGTE...it'll prolly slide.

it'll prolly slide? It's the most common swap for the 6th gen.... People generally use the st185 (5th gen) 3sgte and not the st205 (6th gen) everyone I know that went 3sgte besides celiman05 uses the st185

Actually, mine came from an SW20....not an ST185

$2500 is a little steep for a st185 3s even if it is an rc.

it has all the body panels, and they look to be in great shape, considering. also, it has the whole rear end...2500 is a very good price for this. you could make a lot of that back by selling off that Carlos Sanz front end..

yes, thats what i was getting at

Careful alot of shadey sellers come out of Washington. Especially those with hotmail accounts. Beware if you purchase this, use a credit card. It will give you a little more security.


If anyone get in contact with this seller. Please try to get the full name of the person you are speaking to and post it here. I had a problem with an importer from Washington. Just want to make sure its not the same company.

Good luck if anyone buys this.

Also, since this is in the Northwest, potential buyers might want to check out http://www.nwstreetracing.com/nwsr/ for info about this shop before buying...they might have some on there.

somebody bought it already but seller definitely sounded shady...wouldnt even give me compression test numbers. heres the email he sent me;

HI!
This engine runs great with even compression!


Thanks,

sounds like somebody that has no clue whats going on and is just pushing this motor out of the shop.

hay guys, so I think it may be a shop I went to a wile ago for a 185 clip, ended up not buying it but the shop was lagit, if anyone wants me to, I'll go check it out and take pics, I'm in tacoma every weekend seeing my girlfriend so its not at all out of the way, may even check it out myself but I dont need to buy it

well nm if its sold, yeah I'm pretty sure its the same shop I remember doug was his name, anyway yeah he is not so much of a talker and kinda not the best with motors but his mechanics are, they diff know what there doing. (when I went then there were doing a complete supra overhall, and were almost done with a skyline to 240 conv.)
