      and everything is there for the NOS if i want to use it other than a bottle, i did get a really good deal on engine and stuff. I probably could have just replaced a couple things on the engine that was in it for cheaper than the new engine, but i figured i would just want to start over so now if i need some parts i have a spare engine. I am not sure if it needs a new clutch yet but i might do it just because i have everything out. I figured i should do all this stuff right away to try avoid future problems. No big deal lol.

        Even when he had the bottle, the nitrous never worked. Shane is really not stupid enough to not know how to change oil, he is just a ricer, like you matt. Everyone went through that stage. I guarentee his car was NEVER as bad as your 1g matt. I hate how everyone hates on him and no one even knows him.

        no race car? becuz homeowner...

          i dont hate on him i just dont see how he did not think anything was wrong with the car nor did he ever bring it to a shop to see exactly what the problem was with it, i mean come on white smoke coming out of the exhaust and then NO temp sensor and a place with a missing hose on the front of the valve cover shooting oil everywhere, i mean come on i had the car 5 min and i could tell about half the problems with the car thats the only problem i have with him, i mean he seems like a pretty nice guy and he did not give me one of the keys to the rims, and called him up and boom i had it 2 days later. i was in shock.

              What motor are you getting?

              KLZE or a FSZE?

                  Damn, i sold my damn near perfect condition probe that ran perfect for $1500 last summer. It was all stock but in good shape with no problems and i just wanted to get rid of it for something else.

                  Good luck with it though.

                      yeah should be ok, i just ordered a stage 1 racing clutch for it, the clutch that was on there was pretty bad so i figured may as well replace it while i have the motor out, make it alot easier in the long run.

                        The FSZE wouldn't make sense for him to swap. It's the JDM version of the 2.0 4-cylinder DOHC engine and it's very difficult to do it properly. The ECU swap is said to be extremely difficult.

                            He didnt fall off the face of earth. Hes a busy working guy. Has a 94 civic ex 5spd now and I was talking to him last night and he doesnt want to ebay the shit out of it. He was asking what I suggest getting since I own a civic also. He wants to have a nice looking car and wants to try and gain some respect back. Not sure if its possible or not but hey atleast the guy is trying.

                                  If kids dropping RB's into 240's and other random swaps in home garages a FSZE would not be out of reach. Wiring sucks but think of the ranodomness of the swap and also the rarity. If a LS1 can be dropped between the frame rails and function in a BMW 325 then fuck anything is possible.

                                          The KLZE motor came today i was reallly really excited...until i looked at my old wireing harness yeah that is a joke who ever had this car had something done fVcked up with the wireing thats probably the whole reason that the other motor went bad was because of bad wireing it is so chopped up i wish i knew who had that work done to the car or did it themselfves becase i belive the motor has been out before i bought the car becasue all the clips are broke for the harnesses, melted wires, and lots of other shit i can deffinetly say that there is some wireproblems with this car.
