I remember a F/S thread while back relating to the 5th gen that got closed stirring up some heated argument.
But then again, its got a 3SGTE...it'll prolly slide. -------------------- Cuz Thats How Us Country Boyz Roll Growing up racing motocross, i learned one thing..."Always wear clean underwear, you never know when the Paramedics are gonna have to cut your pants off of you" |

People generally use the st185 (5th gen) 3sgte and not the st205 (6th gen) everyone I know that went 3sgte besides celiman05 uses the st185 art erik jeff itchy fastbird jay etc --------------------  |

Careful alot of shadey sellers come out of Washington. Especially those with hotmail accounts. Beware if you purchase this, use a credit card. It will give you a little more security.
If anyone get in contact with this seller. Please try to get the full name of the person you are speaking to and post it here. I had a problem with an importer from Washington. Just want to make sure its not the same company. Good luck if anyone buys this. --------------------  I will return one day. |

Also, since this is in the Northwest, potential buyers might want to check out http://www.nwstreetracing.com/nwsr/ for info about this shop before buying...they might have some on there.

somebody bought it already but seller definitely sounded shady...wouldnt even give me compression test numbers. heres the email he sent me;
HI! This engine runs great with even compression! Thanks, Douglas upgarageusa.com sounds like somebody that has no clue whats going on and is just pushing this motor out of the shop. |

hay guys, so I think it may be a shop I went to a wile ago for a 185 clip, ended up not buying it but the shop was lagit, if anyone wants me to, I'll go check it out and take pics, I'm in tacoma every weekend seeing my girlfriend so its not at all out of the way, may even check it out myself but I dont need to buy it
 well nm if its sold, yeah I'm pretty sure its the same shop I remember doug was his name, anyway yeah he is not so much of a talker and kinda not the best with motors but his mechanics are, they diff know what there doing. (when I went then there were doing a complete supra overhall, and were almost done with a skyline to 240 conv.) This post has been edited by creis: Aug 7, 2006 - 9:19 PM --------------------  |
