It would be going into my 97 240..this is like the only place ive found that will take credit cards..Im not shure if its a good idea to get a whole clip tho is it? This is a good price ... For those who have got one before should i just look for a complete motor or just screw it and get this??/ help me please im sick of searching I just want my ****!!:D

I called heavythrottle to order a complete s13 motor today and they told me they take credit cards on everything but motors:mad:

Not to be a dick but you have to give more than 2 hrs for people to respond. Not everyone is on zilvia 24hrs a day.

But anyway, from what i've heard, you shouldn't buy clips or sr's off ebay because there has been a lot of scams with this kind of stuff. Also you may not get everything that's needed.

I'm sure if you give it some time you will get more responces.

I wouldn't go through eBay to get a motor, unless you know the seller. Get a loan and go through a reputable JDM engine retailer, that way you can usually get a 30 day warranty, and all the parts that is needed for the swap to be complete. You won't have to pay for expensive things like ignitors or have cut wiring harnesses like eBay motors sells sometimes. I've heard some negative feedback and postive feedback from eBay engines so its a gamble if you do bid on the engine. You may want to check the sellers feedback to see if the company is a good seller.

Yea thanks for responding guys, i know I have done my research I know about the scams, cut harnesses, and all that..but this guy has an online ebay store also plus a website that does the swaps...its in miami...im not stupid...they have a warranty also..plus i cant get another loan cause im still paying the car one off.. I allready checked feedback for all the motors/clips i was looking at called the places and emailed them all..Ive been looking for a couple months now.. I just wanted to know from peoples experiences if its better/easier to do the swap with a clip or just get a complete motor. (when i said complete i meant ecu, trans,harness,ingitoor,mafs all that.) thanks again tho...

Since they have 2 available, why don't you call them on the phone and chat...get the serial numbers and extra pictures and ask if you get brakes, etc...find out about it. I have heard good things from those guys and been tempted to go down there and have a look.


Clips are usually much more complete..check on the insturments, anything you may need...just give them a call.

Thanks Bill you are always helpful. I just ended up ordering it.I couldnt wait anymore.. It should be here within a week..:x:

It sounds like a good place to buy then, since they have a website, warranty, and store it sounds like they are a respectable place. Do what Bill said and have fun with the engine if you get it.
