ebay and you can get scammed while you at it too

Ricks15 · 08-09-2006, 09:29 PM

Search you're area and see if there is a used engine shop that will be you're first smart move cuz there you can actually see the engine in the condition that it is in and also that that can do a compression test too so that way you dont buy a blow engine.

khilgers · 08-09-2006, 09:31 PM

don't look for the cheapest one available. Buy it from someone that has a good reputation. IMO enjuku and heavythrottle are some of the better ones. I've never ordered from them, but from researching this is the conclusion I came up with. Anyone care to back this up?

Ricks15 · 08-09-2006, 09:38 PM

Yeha thats true Stay away from clips that have noticeable mods and stuff on them cuz the engine might have been abused beyond belief. From what Ive heard Phase2motortrend is by far one of the best places here in Socal for a SR engine and they ship too on there web site they have video clips of the ever so important compression tests they are doing to an SR and RB.

haha, if you want it to be REALLY cheap, you could always call up Flashoptions

Ricks15 · 08-09-2006, 09:42 PM

No one ever said life was easy and that everything was going to be handed to you on a silver platter, so go search. I don't see how hard it is actually maybe even perhaps look in at the vendors supporting this forum or look in the advertiser specials, so again, go search.

redsuns3838 · 08-10-2006, 02:42 AM

Sir · 08-10-2006, 09:51 AM

Prophetz - look within and you shall find your answer.

good luck with getting an SR. If you can't figure out WHERE to buy it, chances are you're too dumb to actually put it in.

Import_Prophetz · 08-10-2006, 12:07 PM

I shall now use your logic against you.

I know I could have answered your question and been helpful, but locking the thread was much easier.
