hmm i'd like it below 6K the lower the better really. prefered turbo, how ever if its cheap and a 3sge i'd be fine with that too. Color is pretty much anything. I really dont like red that much. Black is awesome, but i'm not very picky in that aspect. If you guys find a good and its red i'll still def look at it.

This one is a maybe. I am concerned that it has a Momo wheel... usually a sign of a prior accident (cheaper than replacing airbag/sensors), even if it has a clean title. He says he has the original steering wheel w/airbag, which is a good sign. The front lip on the car is a common modification, but it can also be a sign the front bumper has needed replacement. I would like a Carfax or DMV.org report just to be safe.

It is an original turbo chassis, so you will be better covered in case of any loss or damage - something that can hurt you in a converted car.

I am also wary that he stated 298hp without proper engine management or supporting fuel modifications. The SAFC IS NOT ADEQUATE, nor are the stock injectors to support those power levels for any period of time. Lets hope its not already damaged. Anytime I see a Fuel Cut Defender installed without a list of fuel modifications or engine management, I would be concerned.

If you are interested in buying his car, I have a 91 JDM Turbo Engine Swap with 30k miles available for sale. That is if you want a turbo swap car. If we install it for you the engine will have a 90-Day Warranty.

OR, I can help you find a chassis to put the swap in, and you can have a complete car with a warranty on the engine. My guess is that we could probably pull this off for ~$5500-$6000 out the door, depending on the price of a chassis. *shrug*
