Ok...I'm gonna head up to Bellingham tomarrow and take a look at this engine.

Already checked with the seller and it's a full clip so it has all the essentials:

-ignitor
-maf unit
-ignition coil
-Intercooler
-resistor pack
-turbo pressure sensor
-uncut harness
-ecu
-throttle cable

He said it definately isn't a looker (of course it isnt its almost a 12 year old engine) but it has good compression. Was leakdown tested and has a start up warrenty. What do you guys think? Is $1,900 worth it? Or should I offer alittle less? Only has 52,000 so I figured a complete tune up on this thing and it will run like new. Any input is welcome!


Edit: Forgot to add that it comes with mint (bad paint but no dents) JDM fenders, hood, and bumper...which I figure I could get some good cash flow from if I put them on ebay...Just saw a used JDM st185 hood sell for $300!

ummm....body panels, dude the 205 is much harder to swap than the 185.

The little more money to do the ST205 will smack him in the face when all the money adds up.

Go with the ST185 and sell the body parts.
