**** man, if your ok with doing your own rust repair, jump on that ****1 i would lowball him evenmore...like $1000 lol!

Not a bad find. Keep us posted on what you end up doing.

Ya but i also will end up with bluebird top mount and stock turbo manifold and some 370cc so I might come out ok. If I get it there will be a build thread. I already have a nice t28 I built with a t04b compressor for it.

Looks like a good deal. I think it looks a lot better with the stock wheels.

Ive been doing some reading isn't a na sr20de suppose to read 180 on a compression test?

Dude that looks like a pretty good deal to me. Verify that the engine is in good shape and is in fact low mileage. Do a carfax.

Im thinking the motor is jdm. He said it was advertised as 50k miles. Just like every ebay add. I know the guy from a local forum. Pretty sure its all legit.

Mine read 165 to 170.

The numbers being even is what counts. You can crank on them longer and it'll raise it up some more. There are a lot of variables, the gauge, was the throttle wide open, was the engine cold, etc...

Last time I was looking for chevy compression numbers in their manual, all it would ever say is over a hundred and no more than 10 percent difference or something.

I'd say jump on it.

Ya waiting on my dumb integra to sell then Im going to pick it up.
