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!

I'm doing the ST185 swap...there's no way I'm gonna do the 205. I've been researching since August...thats when I decided to buy one...It's taken me this long because i've been really picky about the engine I want to buy. I decided on this one because the guy is pretty reputable, he has good guarentees, and the engine is in great working order...so I don't think I have much to worry about if I buy this. Trust me I've done my research! Haha..thanks for the input guys...keep the opinions coming!
