found them today at school while surfing the net.. good prices and all, i dunno if shipping would just make it easier to buy local or not..

anyone have experience with them ? they seem like a good reliable place

a complete black top is $1800 + shipping $324(local pickup) or $379 (residential) so $2124 (pickup) $2179 (residential)

complete red top is $1750 +shipping $324 (local pickup) or $379 (residential) so $2074 (pickup) $2129 (residential)

those shipping prices are for me, so for others it may vary...

dude wow I just checked that out very good prices. You sell motors? Srs are illegal and wont pass emmisions right?

[sofo259]

nope, i dont sell them.. thats the price + shipping to me..

they can pass emissions, but arent illegal yet

I don't really trust any place that is not in the US. I had a friend buy a motor from a place in Canada and it came blown. We took the valve cover off and it looked like someone dropped a bomb in there. Then the gave us a hard time about getting a new motor. Just thinking back on it pisses me off.

damn, that would tend to piss me off too!!

did he get a new motor ?? free ??

[Broke240]

Yea he got a new motor. We had to ship the old one back and then they shipped us a new one. We didn't pay for shipping which was good. But it was still a horrible situation.

omg that sucks. But for $1500. Where do you guys get your srs? I've never heard one are they nice?

[Broke240]

Its hard to find a sr for that cheap but sometimes you get what you pay for.

[carlova78]

Yeah, theres a place in Norcross called nadauto that sells a whole bunch of motors but in $2k range

[sofo259]

i have heard good things about NAD auto.. a guy on here bought his front clip from a guy that actually started the car(well half of it) and did a compression test right there on the spot..

but i dont know the company, or how to contact the seller :confused:

[Broke240]

Nadauto probley wouldn't be a bad option just because they may be the cheapest in GA and you can check the motor out for yourself before you buy it.

Here is a link to their website:

[carlova78]

I was looking at an s13 that came with an sr from there and the guy said they'll dyno for you and stuff
