I'm excited too! I think you'll be totally happy once the BEAMS and 5-speed is in. Should be able to get a few hundred out of the 5S and automatic to help pay for the swap.

Maybe. My 5s has around 250k miles on it so I doubt anyone would want it. Someone may want my transmission, I believe it was rebuilt at around 238k.

Well, someone in desperate need or someone needing a block etc... to rebuild anyway. Just make sure to get a good video or two of it starting up and idling, and then going down the road.

Just got off the phone with Stare Farm. They're gonna fix my Celica, although I imagine there will still be a small amount of money out of pocket, but it's cheaper than totally fixing it myself.

Good to hear insurance is helping out.
I'm always curious as to how these kind of cars are titled... Still $19,000 seems like a lot to be honest, all things considered. -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed

In hawaii, imports like that usually get titled as show cars when they get brought to hawaii to make them "legal" This post has been edited by Noahwhite2014: Dec 16, 2014 - 6:15 PM |

I know in Alabama all you have to do is get an officer to inspect the vehicle for any VIN swapping and if it's been stolen or etc... and they'll issue a title. Of course this is with cars from Georgia etc... that don't have titles, not cars from Japan. I imagine grey imports like the GT-Four might be easier to do than something like a Skyline.
