[hellfire]

We are now Killswitch Performance

Prices you see listed in this thread, MAY or may not still be current. For any price quote, just give us a call, or shoot me a PM.

Thanks!

Just letting you all know there is an alternative to paying 1500-2k at a shop, and have your car down for weeks.

I'll do your SR swap, plus wiring for ~500. Depending on whatever else you need done at the same time. I can also install anything you need while I'm at it. ARP Headstuds, Headgasket, Etc.


I can have a basic swap done in a day. Motor work done, or 5 speed swap might take a little longer, but will still be quick.


Just trying to make a little cash on the side, and help some people out.

Can also do:
Wiring (including relocating fuse box under the dash)
5 speed swaps
Diff Installs
Coilovers
Brake Installs
Front Ends
Body Kits
Overfenders
Boost Controller/Guage/SAFC's/Etc Install
FMIC's
Exhaust
Headgaskets
The list could go on and on. Just if you need something done, let me know.

Pics below are just a few of the swaps I have done, the ones I could find quickly.

Give us a call if you are interested.

Thanks!
Tyler

*Oh, and if I have this in the wrong spot, forgive me. Feel free to move it to wherever would be more appropriate, but I couldn't find a good place.*

[Infinite]

build me a 4" exhaust :p

[hellfire]

Haha.. I don't have a pipe bender. But if I did.. I would. :)

But really, my friend knows a guy that just bought a mandrel bender, and supposedly is making exhausts for local people wicked cheap. I'll try and find his number for you.

And damnit, are you ever going to take this block out of my Garage?!

Tyler

[Infinite]

yea i am, just gotta get caught up and get shit cleaned out. lol
lemme know, 4" stainless, no resonator, no muffler. just straight unadulterated noise :D

[hellfire]

I'll find out for you. I forgot exactly which friend was talking about it, so it might be a bit. But you know that will be wicked loud.. I had 3in straight back on my VR4.. Almost unbearably loud. I could drive through the mall parking lot, and set off every car alarm there.

Tyler

[Infinite]

yea well i roll around open downpipe with a big turbo. im used to it. just be nice to not smell like gas but still scare people

[hellfire]

I don't understand what that post is supposed to mean..

Tyler

[v-empire]

too cheap....

[Cash]

$500 for a day of work isn't too cheap. I think that's a pretty fair price for someone to pay if they don't know how to do a swap or don't have time to do a swap.

[hellfire]

Hey too cheap isn't a bad thing. If I feel I am getting overwhelmed with work, the price might go up eventually. Also if I end up renting a shop in the next couple months. But for now I can swing $500.

Exactly. I'm not looking to get rich, and obviously I'm not a shop, so I can't ask 1500 for a swap.

But at the same time, I bet you will get quicker turn around. Better service, and have it done cheaper with us. :)

Tyler

[Dgardi]

TYLER DID MY FLUX CAPACITOR SWAP! AND HE HELPED ME CHANGE MY BLINKER FLUID!


TYLER FTW. lol.

Dude :'( I gotta replace the head gasket on that KA. haha suuuucks :'(

[hellfire]

How? What happened?

Tyler

[ahmonrah]

sounds good i'm going thru oil like fat guys in a rib buffet. dont know if it's p-ring or head gasket. oh yeah, i'm supposed to seafoam my engine anyway.

[hellfire]

Haha.. WTF are you talking about!?

Edit.. Wait are you saying that your motor is going out, so you'll probably need a swap soon?

Tyler

[sofo259]

awesome !!
sounds like a good deal to me.. by the time i get my sr more than likely ill do it myself.. but ill need help with the wiring.. thats when i call you (tyler)
--
btw this is james, i bought that high pressure PS line and the red hatch from you when you lived in gainesville

[hellfire]

I remember you. :)

Yep, just let me know.

Tyler

[Dgardi]

lol. I dunno. Like three days after I installed it I kept blowing coolant hoses. After I replaced 2 hoses andreplaced the stock clamps new hose clamps I noticed oil in my coolant.

How long should it take me to swap a head gasket?

[sofo259]

about a day, make sure you pull the head right(loosen the bolts in the right pattern, so you dont warp the head)

[hellfire]

Well honestly, if the headgasket is blown, the head is already warped. Still obviously go by Nissan Specs when taking the head off, but it wont really matter.

And make sure you get the head decked. So really it will take 2-3 days to do the swap.

Day 1 take off the head.
Day 2 have it decked
Day 3 reassemble.

Also, remember to RTV under and above where the headgasket goes around the timing chain. If not you will leak oil from there. You will hate your life if you forget, and its very easy to do.

good point, i forgot that when i did a HG on my friends 240.. thank god all the bolts werent torqued down yet

[ahmonrah]

DING DING DING !! BINGO...YATZEEE!!!! AND THE WINNER ISSSSSSSS!!!!

Tylerwell freaky fuckin frybabies.......i'm gonna have to clean this engine so i can trace the leak, cause if i go by what you say and i assume, i'm fucked more than a sheep in west virginia...this is my DD and can't afford down time.

[hellfire]

Just do a compression test. If you have low compression then its HG.

Tyler

[Cash]

I hope you have a business license. Working on all those cars may cross the line, legally speaking. If shop owners find out you're undercutting them (which is very possible considering you're advertising on a forum) they may come after you. Be carefull with you attempts to make some extra money. I'm sure you don't want to piss off some honest business owners.

[bleach8484]

what crackin on the fuse box relocation? I can work on anything mechanical. I dont fuck with electricals other than a cd player.

[hellfire]

Haha, You just have to tell me what you still want in the car and everything. Like on Carina's we took out everything. So the only wires still going in to th engine bay are for the headlights. But I can do it any way you want. Just let me know.

Tyler

[bleach8484]

The cleaner the better... but the fuse box is #1 to go. Other than that I dunno yet

[hellfire]

It would be best to delete anything you are going to at one time. That way, you (or I, LoL..) don't have to pull the whole thing again later. Better a one time thing.

Tyler

[bleach8484]

Yea I just have to glance around and see whats gonna be "optional". I will probobly paint the engine bay while I rebuild the motor when it comes time. So I would want it as clean as possible

[RHDS13]

Where to begin tyler has done my whole car lol. First he did the motor swap then body kit then the cometic head gasket then arp head studs hes pulled my motor out about 3 or 4 times. And It runs like a top so his shit is 100% I will always get my work done from him because hes good and cheap he should get a shop he would def make some money. So dont go somewhere else and get the sr swap let him do it in faster time and alot less money.

Chanting Tyler Tyler Tyler wooohooo bitch

[carlova78]

How much from sohc to dohc? Same?

Yep same. :)

And also, I can do discounts on Motor swaps with a 5 speed conversion at the same time. Since I already have to pull the motor to do a 5 speed conversion.

Tyler

[Casey]

Yep same. :)

sr20
ca18
rb20

im sure he could do a 2j swap or something weird into a bmw chassis but that would be more monies =D lol
and u would still have to get transmission / engine mounts / custom driveshaft
:P

[hellfire]

Haha.. Hell yeah, I'll swap in everything, with the correct provided mounts/driveshaft.. :)

Tyler

[carlova78]

[santacruz77]

[Andy C]

You just made my day! I will definately be back with you for my sr swap.

Hey Carina said you wanted a pic of the Fuse Box Relo I did on her car.

Here is the only picture I have uploaded at the moment.

http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u25/carina240sx/New002-1.jpg


The wires you see where the fuse box used to be are wires from the engine harness, which was a spare laying around that we used just to get her motor in and running quickly. As you can see, or not see actually, there is no fusebox, or wiring.

Tyler

[Dominic49]

please please please?

[Hammerhead-i Eaglethrust]

Tyler,
I may be looking for someone to help me with some wiring, if you're interested. I have an S13 coupe that is going to be a track car, it's a pignose car, I just dropped a dohc motor in, I just need to simplify everything so that the motor will run, and everything else gets stripped out, and then start from scratch.

All I need is a push button start and a fuel pump switch to start with, and then I can worry about getting lights to work, putting in some guages, etc.

I'm going to take a look at it tommorrow and see if it looks simple enough to do it myself, which I'm not counting on. Then I'll be back in touch with you, if you're interested in helping me.

[Dominic49]

i love building wiring harnesses... no seriously I do.... I'm not kiddng...

damn ballers and their sr30dett, what you do is:

a) drill hole 1" wide down center of AExx oil filter
b) Stuff freshly drilled hole with aluminum foil
c) Carefully twist and thread to block
d) Fail slowly
e) post :pics:

Not that I'm one to talk though..

Tyler

[240sxautox]

If you feel like extending some hard lines and putting a/c on an RB20 let me know!

[hellfire]

Extending which hard lines? And If you have everything necessary, I will most definitely put A/C on there for ya.

Tyler

[240sxautox]

I've got everything necessary, but the problem I had with the original hardline (the thick one along the firewall) was it was too low and the motor was about to crush it, it just needs to be lengthened, and bent a little differently. I think there are some other lines that may need to be changed- I've got to wait until I get my car back until I can really measure some things up and figure it out.

[zakkkaliscious]

motor pull out and in with the supra?

i ll prep it with goodies first, you do the install, wiring, etc. ?

thanks.

[suprabrit]

Tyler

[hellfire]

Tyler

[suprabrit]

Oh I forgot you have a Lexus...that's pimp. What kind deal you gettin on your 2j?

[v-empire]

[Beez_S13]

hey, if you could, let me know how much it would be for a ka24de, motor, 5 speed tranny, intake, exhaust, wiring harness, and ecu. just pm me with the price. i figure since you do a lot of swaps, you might have one lying around. thanks.

-Cal

[Hammerhead-i Eaglethrust]

hey man, you still coming to do the wiring on this pignose dohc swap?

[hellfire]

Yes. I'm really busy right this second, with having to get everything together to move, etc.

I will let you know asap.

Tyler

[Hammerhead-i Eaglethrust]

cool!

[Casey]

ooo moving again... >< eek that must suck to move all the time

[hellfire]

Not houses. Just shops.

Tyler

[Hammerhead-i Eaglethrust]

where you moving to?

btw, do you have any KA DE's laying around for parts? I could use the throttle cable plate thingie.... that you bolt the throttle cable to. comprende? I don't know what you call it.

[Casey]

ah where are you getting a shop now?
and hey some advice if you dont mind me giving it...
when you get there if its near / semi permanant... make shelves everywhere and organize your parts. cuz like youve got like 4 trannys... put those next to eachother outside or something. then line up all your longblocks and any misc parts that go along with them. neways idk just some suggestions it makes more working space if your stuff is like organized and compact.

[hellfire]

I might have that. I'll have to look when I get over there today.

I don't want to say anything yet about where I'm going, as its not for sure. I'll let everyone know soon enough. :)

It would be easier for my lazy ass to go down the road to Tyler's and pick one up.

[Casey]

where you moving to?

btw, do you have any KA DE's laying around for parts? I could use the throttle cable plate thingie.... that you bolt the throttle cable to. comprende? I don't know what you call it.

the thing near the brake lines? or the plastic guide thats part of the intake manifold? or the throttle pulley? lol *i looked at a picture*

[hellfire]

ah where are you getting a shop now?
and hey some advice if you dont mind me giving it...

Um.. Like this?

I normally am very organized. The shop I have now, is accessed by other people as well. My stuff gets moved around, etc. When I am the only one touching things, they are not messy.

He's talking about the piece that bolts to the intake mani, that holds the throttle cable.

Tyler

o mk
and yes, very nice organized =D

[s14unimog]

Well honestly, if the headgasket is blown, the head is already warped.


not true....

[Casey]

its an aluminum head... the odds are very likely its warped lol but no not all the time lol

[hellfire]

Most likely...

Tyler

[v-empire]

blow job.

decent chance.

[hellfire]

And plus, who the hell would pull the head if the headgasket is blown, replace the headgasket, and not get the head decked. I wouldn't go through all that trouble just to have to pull it apart later and deck the head.

Tyler

[v-empire]

calm down tyler.

have a kit-kat.

[hellfire]

LoL.. I'm not angry. Just saying...

Oh, and Stephen bought Marcos' motor. Looks good. Thanks for letting him know about it.

Tyler

[v-empire]

i know.
its marcos. not marcus. he gets pissed off...

so, i keep calling him marcus.......MARCUS!!! haha

good deal. i m glad it worked out. should be a pretty damn easy swap with it.

good luck.

[hellfire]

Fixed. :)

And also, if you talk to him, let him know he left his shift knob at the shop. He can come pick it up anytime, just give me a call. I lost his number.. Again.

Tyler

[v-empire]

keep the piece of shit bubble fizz dildo for stephen.

i am sure he will like it....lol.



i ll tell him, thanks.

[s14unimog]

I would definitely get the head checked but I would rather not get it decked if I didn't have to. removing material is only going to make it more likely to fail in the future. There are to many people out the just cutting, welding, etc... just b/c it fixes the problem right now. I'm sure when Nissan built that head, they didn't give you guys a ton of fudge room to keep remachining the head.


Also on a side note, Tyler I would be very careful. This little weekend shop you are running is putting you in a very bad position if you are ever to get caught. I love making a little money here and there doing odd jobs like these but it won't be worth it if something important fails. Remember, everybody in this world has a mommy and she won't care if you guys were friends.

Take my advice, or don't, I don't really care, but now you know.

[v-empire]

^ those are wise words.

consideration taken, thanks!

[Cash]

it's nice to have someone like tyler who is skilled and trustworthy to work on your car. especially when he can do it for a good price and there's not much downtime. i've heard stories about people taking their car to a shop to have something simple done like having ic piping made, and they don't get their car back for a week or more. and then there's tyler who will do your entire swap for you in just a couple days.

brandon, however, does have a good point. part of the reason tyler is able to charge much less than a shop is because he's a nice guy, but also, and more importantly, he has much less overhead. it would be terrible for tyler if a shop felt that tyler was stealing business and decided to file a complaint. the fine for running a business without a license is pretty hefty. It's a per day fine, and it's retroactive. That means that as far back as they can prove that you have been operating a business illegally, you will have to pay.

i know tyler doesn't call his services a business, and he may not think of it as a business, but legally i think it would be considered a business. offering services for profit. i don't know exactly how tyler manages this operation, so i can't say what he's legally doing wrong and what he's doing right. if profits are going unclaimed, then they are not being taxed which is tax evasion. there may be so much profit that can go unclaimed legally, but at a certain point you have to start paying taxes on what you're profiting. i would imagine it's similar to contract labor where you can make up to $500 untaxed contract labor per year or something like that.

brandon's post may sound a bit abrasive, but i think he has made a good point and is actually trying to look out for tyler, as well as his customers. i just recently took a business law class, so i found this whole subject interesting and wanted to post my thoughts.

i think tyler is a good guy, and i wouldn't hesitate sending someone his way to have work done. i also agree with brandon though, that tyler should be careful.

[Casey]

yea... to be honest it doesnt cost much to get a buisness licence... go ahead and get one. becuase i can see a shop like mainstream getting on here and noticing the "unsatisfied with mainstream performance" thread and then seeing "need a swap done cheap?" cuz inadvertently you are taking buisness away from local shops. just turn into a local shop legally and no one has anything on you.

[s14unimog]

right! :goodjob:

[hellfire]

I will have my business license and new shop in a couple months. No worries. :)

Tyler

[Cash]

that's awesome! good luck with everything. i wish you the best!

[v-empire]

lmao at your avatar!

[Casey]

haha yeah funny avatar lolz

is your shop gonna be called killswitch performance?

good that youre getting a buisness license soon :)
youve got everything you need to succeed in your own buisness =D

[swiftblaze]

Yeah, and it helps to have a solid reputation already. At least that first hump is already overcome. There's plenty of humping in order though. I can't wait for some KillSwitch Performance stickers after I get my swap done. I can't wait to have my first boosted car lol. I had to join the dark side.

[Hammerhead-i Eaglethrust]

There's plenty of humping in order though

LOL!

[Casey]

hahah id like to have a stickah !

[TurboNegro]

yo what up
i was at the shop today with the guy with the red vert
(i was making all the cool ass jokes lol)

is it the same price for a ca swap

[hellfire]

I remember you. :)

Yep. Same.

Tyler

[carlova78]

i have a random question. how long would it take to replace motor/tranny mounts for my s13? and a starter. thanksu

[hellfire]

Drop it off, and come pick it up the next day.

Tyler

[carlova78]

i was talkin about diy. i cant drop it off. its not roadworthy. its very shakkkkyyy blllahahah

btw did u get my message? lol

[Hammerhead-i Eaglethrust]

I bet you don't have the proper equipment. I bet Tyler's price would be less than buying an engine hoist.

[carlova78]

babowc said he can lend my his and my school has a lift and tools but i need someone to drive it there for me and help out and i only got 1 1/2 hr a day. i bet i cant afford his service still. im only 7 years old

[Hammerhead-i Eaglethrust]

I didn't know Tyler worked on powerwheels stuff too. Damn I'll have to hit him up...

What are you talking about? sorry tyler for messing it up.

[hellfire]

What are you talking about? sorry tyler for messing it up.

Its ok buddy. :goodjob:

It shouldn't take that long if you know what you are doing or at least what you are looking at. Make sure you don't strip the lower bolts holding the motor mounts to the crossmember.

Good luck.

lol hate to be thread off topic... but on this subject.
you dont actually have to pull the motorset to swap mounts do you?

[v-empire]

lol hate to be thread off topic... but on this subject.

no you dont.

but you have to pull the car out of the motorset.

[Casey]

no you dont.

but you have to pull the car out of the motorset.

damn... now thats some serious work >< gahh! haha

[Hammerhead-i Eaglethrust]

It looks like you could, you might have to undo the little A frame looking things that bolt to the side of the motor, but maybe not. But I would assume you'd want to support the motor with an engine hoist.

Has anyone ever removed the engine from the bottom? I've read magazines say its easier but never done it.

[Casey]

yeah i think its just a matter of oppinion... you can use gravity to your advantage by dropping the motor down...
or you can pull the motor up and reduce the risk of breaking things because you know where everything is and the clearances you have...
i would immagine the plenum and exhaust manifold would come realy close to hitting the frame....
and yeah you just unbolt the front crossmember...

[Dominic49]

and yeah you just unbolt the front crossmember...

you unbolt the crossmember with the car on the ground and then lift the body off it... no chance in drpping engine///

[hellfire]

You just simply raise the motor after you have unbolted the mounts from both locations. Slide in new mounts, bolt them up, done.

Tyler

[carlova78]

raise the motor from x-member while car is on ground? i can also use the lift at school but i got 1 1/2 hrs to do so. should i just get oem mounts or some awsome nismo mounts or after market. any BIG difference?

[Hammerhead-i Eaglethrust]

Nismos are stiffer. Ask godisintheradio where he got his, I can't remember, or go look at his members journal thread, he got them somewhere for $150, which is pretty cheap. Or if you don't want to go that route, buy his old ones.

[babowc]

afaik, you cant change mm without lifting the motor up.
think about it.
you drop front crossmember, motor drops with it.

just lift the motor up maybe a couple inches and swap it out real fast.

you'd need a picker.

1.5 hrs should be plenty, given you'd know what to do exactly without any downtime.

[hellfire]

Yes, you have to have a engine hoist, and you leave the car on the ground.

Tyler

[carlova78]

and for tranny mounts too? tyler u shouve put new once since u swaped the motor. but if the cars on the ground how would u get the the x member? mounts on there right? i gues ill go with oem since sw2dkfd has em for 60 motro and tranny

[hellfire]

I just had to sell the car, I didn't pay attention to whether it had a perfect condition tranny mount on the motor I put in. I was getting kicked out of my apartments if I didnt' get rid of some cars. Which ended up happening anyways.

I sold it as a project anywho, so here is a project for you.

Tyler

[Hammerhead-i Eaglethrust]

Everyone should know when they buy a 15 to 18 year old 240 that odds are its a complete piece of shit that needs attention to every angle. A lot can happen in 18 years, ten years ago an 18 year old car was usually as good as worm food, the fact its running should be amazing enough. How much more would you have paid for the car if everything was already fixed and perfect? What's that? You wouldn't have been able to afford it? Yeah thats what I thought...

I have yet to own an S13 that was worth a damn. Plenty of potential, yes, but if you want to tap into it, you're going to have to do some work. I get sick of people expecting a perfect 240 when they go looking for one. Those exist, but you either have to shell out cash, or build it yourself. Complaining about little crap like this on a thread where someone is trying to offer services is petty.

[carlova78]

im not complaining. i love my car. its amazing. i just need advice. i wont jack this thread no more im gana make one.

[kjswann21]

Hey Tyler new to the forum as of today, met with a bunch of 240 owners lastnight at the V. I need a few things done on my SR, wiring, tach install, and a few other minor things. I am willing to help, so that I may learn the art of 240, but seriously hit me up.

how much for an sr swap in an s14?

[JJ Alfano]

are the prices gonna go up since you guys are in a shop now?

[hellfire]

They are already more then they are posted now. Its $750 for SR swaps.

S13 SR into S14 Chassis is more. S14 SR into S13 chassis is more. Correct motor for chassis is $750.

Tyler

[osiriskidd]

do you guys have a set seller for the engines, or is that up to us to find.

[hellfire]

Depends on what you want to do. We have two set providers, but if you want to provide your own, then thats up to you.

Tyler

[1SLWPOS]

So $750 includes what? Just the install of the new motor but it still won't drive? Or do you install the FMIC make sure the tach and speedo work etc so the car will drive out the door.

[Jorgen]

I hope you have a business license. Working on all those cars may cross the line, legally speaking. If shop owners find out you're undercutting them (which is very possible considering you're advertising on a forum) they may come after you. Be carefull with you attempts to make some extra money. I'm sure you don't want to piss off some honest business owners.

Is there anything wrong with performing a public service? I don't think so.

[hellfire]

So $750 includes what? Just the install of the new motor but it still won't drive? Or do you install the FMIC make sure the tach and speedo work etc so the car will drive out the door.

First off, this thread is VERY old. We now no longer work out of where we were. Have full business license, etc. We have our 8,000 sq ft building, etc.

But $750 includes SMIC install, and all wiring, everything to finish your car. If you want FMIC install, its extra. BOV welded on piping, extra, etc.

Tyler

[santacruz77]

lol i just read this whole thread

[KRINEDOG]

Tyler hit me back with a quote on labor with stuff.

[driftingmustang]

holy crap, this is awsome. im may be buying a 240 for 200 (assuming the guy is telling the truth about whats wrong with it). that would be so awsome, a 240 with and sr for a total of 700. dude, my god, i guess i can hold off on the drifting for like another couple of mnths, this would be so worth while. i guess ill start drifting on the tracks this summer instead.

ok, just read the newer posts, $950 total for a 240sx with an sr is still awsome.

[Casey]

shit, damn, i thought that was way too cheap and i was excited. how much does the motor cost?

PS. give me a break. Yes, when it comes to nissan i am that dumb. I dont know how much imported engines cost

[hellfire]

SR motorset around 2k. :)

wow. just wow. man.

like tyler said. around 2 grand. unless you get a deal ;)

[driftingmustang]

oh well. and yeah, ive been finding lots of great deals lately on stuff,, i suppose that is why i was so hopefull.

example, my mustang cost 2400 (without tax an stuff) when it should have been 6K. also my cobra wheels were like 300 hundred with the well worn tires for like 300. shit dude, thats like 1/6th the price it is for the rims alone brand new. and assuming that guy is telling the truth that only the engine is blown and the body is good except one dent, im virtualy stealing that 240 for $200 (still need to check out car).

yeah, i was pretty hopefull

[hellfire]

Where is this $200 car? I'll go check it out for you.

Tyler

[driftingmustang]

Where is this $200 car? I'll go check it out for you.

Tylernah, ill take the advice from my dad and not give out any info about it till i see for myself. dont want no body to snatch a deal before i do. i bought my wheels from him. Its a guy i met randomly on the street. then he asked if i needed wheels, i did, he brought, i bought and during the course of that he asked if i knew if anybody was interested in a 240 with a blown motor.

i just need my friggen paycheck to come in monday.

I was kidding. I wanted the info to go buy it. LoL..

Tyler

thanks for the well wishes. My dad has been fixing cars and modifying shit since the muscle car days. i wasnt sure about my half priced mustang and my dad was like "this aint nothin except it needs new wire." he was right. i got into cars because of him. definatley bringin my dad.

if you, hell fire, are willing to come along that would be great too, just remember, if its good, its mine. dont go offering 300 when you see it, lol,id be pissed.

[v-empire]

he doesnt roll like that. he is just offering help. if he wants to make money on it, he will tell you.

shoot hellfire would be making money anyways doing the swap.. and hes a good guy!

[Hammerhead-i Eaglethrust]

well...if it is for $200..thoroughly check it.

but thats a hell of a deal. you can get ka's for dirt cheap if you just wanna get it running.

A $200 240 doesn't require much checking. It would have to have been in a crusher or completely stripped down to the bone not to be able to recoup more than $200.

[hellfire]

I think he meant if it was going to be a car driven around. Not parted out.

Tyler

[Hammerhead-i Eaglethrust]

doesn't matter, buy first, ask questions later at that price. All I was saying was that if it was too far gone, then you could always make money on it. You know that.

Yeah, a $200 240 is a good deal anyday.
