What do you all think about this? I know the guy who is selling it, he's ASE certified and did most of the work himself except the wiring. I can get it for $4000.

I say don't get it, couple of things don't sit right with me first off the car was in a front end crash hence y there is a 98 front end on it and passenger side airbag was deployed and he changed the steering wheel, second y would you say its a blacktop motor and have a red top valve cover on there because of the valve cover gasket wont it be cheaper to just order a new valve cover gasket than opposed to putting on another valve cover with a used gasket on there?, also the j30 lsd y would you put that in a car that has an lsd already? i say that because the car has ABS, another thing is that clutch he claims that's in the car is probably not really there because he knows you cant really check, think about it y spend 1000+ on a clutch when the rest of the car needs work?i call BS on the j30 diff, he says it is because it sounds cooler i guess and i call BS on the clutch setup. thats my 2 cents

not all s14's that came equipped with abs had vlsd's.

aside from that, it seems like that exhaust is pumping out quite a bit of soot. then there's the collision thing. buy at your own risk.
