hey niswerks...

you're in Baltimore? You think you know what kind of timeframe you're in to order a motor? I'm in Delaware and I will be ordering the motor sometime this summer... so if you want to go in for parts and save on shipping give me a buzz. I'm not ready to start the work on it yet (My wallet is on a diet) but I will be buying a front clip sometime in the near future for my 200sx.

sorry im uneducated on the art of motor shopping, i guess im lookin for a "motor set". anyway where can find a "motor set" ???? who u ordering from udel?? do they have "motor sets"??? if i can grab a "motor set" for around 500 or so i should be able to get one within a month. i have 500 bucks ready for a motor and transmission, someone hook me up with a "motor set"......

p.s - "motor set" <----- SMART *** :) :ylsuper :ylsuper :ylsuper
