ok, ive gotten a few emails about this. im NOT selling this motor. it is liberousa that is. this is an offer that they gave me, since i was on thier waiting list at one time. i have no use for it, so i think that one of you should seize the oppertunity. i forgot who had the mishap with libero, but that is the only bad ive heard from the company. anyway, so what? when you get it, tear it down and rebuild it.

Sean (needforca) had the mishap

[NeedCAforS13]

sure did! DON'T BUY LIBERO CRAP...unless you really like rebuilding engines for fun or something :rolleyes mine had metal chunks in the combustion chambers and required a new head, pistons, and the block has to be honed out to clean it up some...

I ended up just getting a new block and head and using my old manifolds...oh and the turbo was crap too...but thats kind of normal with CA's

carefull with the brakes and suspension. I ordered slotted rotors for the rear and tokico struts all arround for my euro-spec s13 from my friend's shop in Texas and it tured out that the USDM and UK rear brakes are different (parking brake is a drum design withing the rear rotor) so I couldn't use them and I had to slightly moddify the suspension to use the tokicos. Just a warning of slight differences between markets I've incountered so far.

I still think Sean is over-reacting. I mean seriously, it's just a little metal chillin in there. The whole thing is made of metal, whats the difference? Hehehe, JK Sean, you know I feel for ya.
