I ordered mine too(well yesterday)!!! I'm going through Libero USA in CA though. I got engine, transmission and ecu for $800 shipped, so I need a harness if anyone's got one! I'll keep you posted...

Guess I should change my name to something else soon lol

slw240sx-i drive through ohio like 4 times a year on my trips to michigan. i live about a 1/2 hour from Philadelphia so it would probably take you a good 4.5 or 5.5 hours to get here. i would love some help on the swap. especially from someone who has done it already.(hopefully mine wont be so troublesome, lol). Let me get some more parts together and then we can do the swap. hit me up on AIM sometime today, i'll be on late tonight (Two4ZeroSXTURBO)

Thanks!~Ian

wow, 1720 from venus? i got mine from them for a good bit cheaper, 1500 shipped to my door. it was a full front clip too. mine was on special tough.

Post by **s13-master** » Thu Mar 06, 2003 7:51 am

was venus auto's front clips in good condition?

Post by **slw240sx** » Thu Mar 06, 2003 7:51 am

well my clip came from venus, i never saw it in the clip and my motor went through some crap once in a USDM car, but over all the motor looks like its in pretty good condition! needed a new valve cover gasket but thats about it, it still needs steam cleaned !!

Post by **Bizz** » Thu Mar 06, 2003 7:51 am

Deeeeerrrr shoulda goolged libero. Let us know what shape the motors in. $800 bucks sounds like a good deal even with the harness gone. How much did shipping set you back?

Post by **r34 gtr** » Thu Mar 06, 2003 7:51 am

my clip was in perfect condition. there were no signs of damage and they had done everything needed to ship it properly. it was shipped quickly and for a good price. the people were helpful and friendly. i recommend them. also, my clip had really low miles (30k km)

Post by **slw240sx** » Thu Mar 06, 2003 7:51 am

how did they certify the milage!!????? think they keep track via vin numbers >??? so maybe i could call them up and get some info

Post by **rtsol** » Thu Mar 06, 2003 7:51 am

well, flashoptions should have received my money on friday their time(sent a wire) as of monday afternoon, their time, they say that they still havent received. im starting to think i got screwed. wire transfers are instantanious right? if they dont say they received the transfer in the next few days, what should i do? :bash

Post by **NeedCAforS13** » Thu Mar 06, 2003 7:51 am

Hey that was actually 800 shipped...to florida

The engine was 400 and the transmission was 200. shipping set me back $190 but thats the most you'll have to pay as i'm as far from cali as you can get!

It'll be here wednesday or thursday, so i'll let you all know how it looks. i'll even post pics if i can figure out how to : )

oh yeah, and i got an ecu off ebay for $30 yesterday!

oh i forgot to add that libero buys their stuff from flashoptions(or so says flashoption's rep on the boards) check out this post. he lists libero as a buyer about half way down the page...

i got the engine today!!! my dad just called to say its at his work...i'll see it tonight and let you guys know how it looks!!

i'll post pics when i borrow my girlfriend's digital camera too!

It looks NICE!!! It looks like all the plugs and stuff are there, the harness is cut as it enters the firewall...the turbo spins nicely, but i'm gonna upgrade to an SR turbo..the transmission appears to be in good shape and it has a short shifter! And it appears that the engine was kept in decent conditions as there is no surface rust or oxidation..it wasn't steamcleaned or anything however...

I'll post pics this weekend, but I'm excited! : )

Sean

Anyone got a cheap ca18 wiring harness???

Post by **Bizz** » Thu Mar 06, 2003 7:51 am

Holy cow 800 bucks to your door? Looks like i'm gettin me a motor. Hmmmm if they buy from flashoptions I wonder if they could get me a clip.

rtsol: have any updates on your situation?

Post by **rtsol** » Thu Mar 06, 2003 7:51 am

well, after them having my money for two weeks, they have yet to send pics. they say a couple more days to get their film developed. ill post them when i get them. btw, does anyone want a vlsd? they are $200 and will be shipped in my crate. so when i get it i could ship them to you. or, if your local to houston, you can come and pick it up from my house. keep in mind that i probably wont get the crate for another 1.5-2 months. if anybody wants anything esle that can be shipped in my crate let me know.

Post by **rtsol** » Thu Mar 06, 2003 7:51 am

they finally sent pics after almost a month. it looks pretty fresh too, not been sitting around in a yard forever. ill keep yall posted with the rest of this deal.

Post by **NeedCAforS13** » Thu Mar 06, 2003 7:51 am

That'd be cool as hell if you got that strut tower brace with the clip!

Post by **rtsol** » Thu Mar 06, 2003 7:51 am

its been over two months now, and still no motor. no bill of lading, no phone calls about it, nothing. they say the clip is on its way to either montreal (sp?) or michigan, my choice. how can i have a choice unless the motor hasnt been shipped yet? i totally regret buying my clip from them. any of you guys want to pitch in and buy me another motor? j/k

Post by **NeedCAforS13** » Thu Mar 06, 2003 7:51 am

DAAAAAAMMMMN! that is crappy as hell man! this thread is old as hell!!! hope you get it soon!
