thats a great price, but i wouldnt spend that much $ with out callign them first and getting a verbal agreement that there is a warranty involved.

gluck!

kay_arsen · 06-24-2005, 06:50 PM

i wouldnt buy from anyone lower than 97

read his feedback complaints yeah call them first.

OK, i just read this guy's feedback, and if i were you I would not do business with him.. There are far better sellers with in $100 of that price.

But you are not me, so if you do get this clip, which appears to be really clean, run a line of carb choke cleaner through the outlet of the intake manifold and try starting it, listen for rod knock, look all over the motor for cracks, leaks, and perform a compression check.

Make sure to ask them if they have a compression test they can stand by.

i'm sure 90% of the redtops for sale now have issues because all the good ones have been sold or blown

and good luck

i've also heard rumors that clips and motorsets sold on ebay are usually the ones that failed the inperson inspections, when people come to theyre shop and find problems, the shop could a) ship back to vendor or b)sell on ebay i'm betting with small shops B is the most likely option they take.

my friend got a clip from them to do his swap, good condition but he picked it out, out of all the other clips, so if ur local thats what i suggest, but i see ur in ny so you should hit up heavythrottle.com or carluch motorsports down in jersey, btw heavythrottle is god when it comes to SRs, pricey, but worth it

fuck rickey hes a fucking prick, if you buy from him I wont feel sorry when you post that your engine is fucked and you dont know what to do, ill laugh at you, he sold me an engine full of water and a tranny that grinds, hes a douchebag, acts really nice when your about to purchase and right after the sale, he dont care about you any more. Its up to you, I gave him neutral and he started calling me off the hook, about how I could not give him positive feedback, finally I told him to fuck off and he stopped calling, but dont do it, I should have given him a neg.

DO NOT BUY FROM RICKY!!! He is knowen in the Miami area as "Ricky Ripoff." He buy's the cheapest Motor's he can find and never checks them. Half of them are bad. Unless you live near by and can go get your money back you are fucked. He used to have to take cars across the street to have swaps done till he screwed that shop. Stay away!!!
