well finally after waiting 2months my motor finally cleared customs and picked it up friday night. I found the motor through a shop on ebay, anyways I got everytrhing for $950 which included the 5spd transmission, motorset, ECU, harness. I inspected everything and even though its dirt on the outside it got better when removing stuff to reveal everything is in good condition. The motor has about 78,000km so thats like 40-50k miles. Anyways there were a few things that were damaged such as a sensor on the harness. I'm very pleased and eager to get this baby preped and ready to go. Anyways here are some pics. If anyone wants extensive pics of anything on the motor let me know b/c this motor aint gonna be put in for like 1 or 2 months. We werent able to compression test it but I manually cranked to make sure the pistons were seized or fubared. Anyways enjoy.

I was unsure if I was going to get the motor. After 2 months, you start to think it is lost. I was going to get my money back, so I sold the parts.

It also looks like you're gonna need a MAFS. I've got a stocker I can sell you in about a week.

As did mine, and about 98% of other motorsets I've seen pics of. I think its standard practice in Japan to smack that plug with a hammer before shipping.
