seriously, id like to see him get out of this one

the CA is fun, but it needs work 4 u even do install...trust me on this **look at sig**... b4 install do everything in ur power to replace gaskets and seals...bolts if possible...belts aswell...aftermarket FPR fuel pump, and gauge is a must.

personally i would never buy a motor from a website again. around a year ago i bought an sr from jdmenginecorp.com and it was completly blown!! compression test results where as follows...75-25-50-70...there was a 90% leak on cylinder #2. lucally i got my money back, somehow. try to fing something local. at the very least, try to find a walk-in motor importer that is willing to ship a motor to you.

as for the goodspeed coilovers, i dont own them, but i do own a set of goodspeed swaybars. nice looking product on the showroom floor but the quality sucks! in only a few months the paint started to chip off and the bars where rusting badly. and i live in inland socal, my car doesn't know what snow or salted roads even are. I can only imagine the quality of their coilovers, i would consider them equal to the megans, but thats just my opinion.
