Here is the motor that I am picking up this weekend for the Green coupe:

And the mileage is as follows:

I for one have never seen a redtop with so few miles. Naysayers can rant on about how this motor must have been sitting for awhile but the truth is it was in a yard in japan for so little time that no rust had even started on the damaged front end. I got extremely lucky in finding it. I can't wait to get it into the coupe. The hatch was dropped off at the paintshop yesterday with the Silvia front end installed, the whole car will soon be Vovo C70 Orange/Copper. I will be taking it to the convention but it will not be painted then... damn body shop says they cant get it done by then so it will morwe than likely just be primered. My goal was to either have the motor in the coupe and bring it, or get the hatch painted and bring it, whichever I could get done first. Oh well, you can't win em all.

Anyone ever seen a redtop with such low mileage?

Damn dude 13K miles??

Awesome!!!! Really Awesome...you need to actually break it in. Taks 20K "miles" not KM to really seat the rings...drive it normal city and country before you rawhide it wide open for at least 5K miles so it can get use to the new gas and our oil and environment.

What a catch!!

Congradulations!:bowdown: :bow: :boink: :D ;)

He sold his KA-T S14 a while ago, then started pimping two s13s. (s13s own :D).

That is very very low mileage, keep it clean. Are you keeping the coupe that funky looking green, or will it be painted?

Good luck with both S13s, what about your friends s13 coupe you posted a while ago?

r204bosx- I loved the KA-T but I feel the SR is better suited for S13's.

Bill Roberts- Screw that... heheh Wide *** Open is the only way I drive.

KiDynoMiTe- I painted the car that funky green color so it will be that way as long as I own it. People either love it or hate it but I think it looks dope. As for my friends coupe, he just dropped on an even larger turbo then his previous T-67. It should be capable of 600+hp now. We'll see if he can get the bugs worked out.

LOL, me too...but I would give that baby a chance to get use to its environment for a while...then I would Plug her one day when she least expects it and all hell will break loose!

I came across a clip with 9k km. before.

Once we washed the dust off the engine, it looked like it just came out of the factory.
