Yeah someone near us had a front clip for $500 and i was told it needed some components...not sure what, but we had already returned it.

So my mechanic went looking for a better place to get the engine and venus auto was going to sell him the ST215 3SGTE......but he was told it had 230hp and i thought it had least 260hp.

I am not sure if Venus told him the wrong engine or what, but I am going ot make sure tomorrow. Oh, and I am not actually where the shop is so I am supervising totally by phone which sucks.

Venus Auto is kind of shady regarding the engines that they have. They don't even seem to know what exactly they have, so I'd be very, very careful when ordering from them.

It's a good thing that they don't know their ****.. cuz if they did, I'm pretty darn sure they would have sold my clip for A LOT more, had they known is was a WRC.
