Default Suspicious car on Ebay...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...&category=6256

I've emailed him 3 times asking what year and what serial # the motor is, and no replies.

Maybe a couple of you who know how ebay works better than I can figure out the mystery. I just have a feeling about this one...

"Car is very FASST, never got a chance to get to the track but it should run low 13’s."

Check out the place where got the motor installed.
"Garage Kwai is the Midwest's #1 motor swap headquarters for Honda and Acura."
http://www.garagekwai.us/

I think the FBI should look into this business....

Don't jump to conclusions so fast...

Kwai is a reputable shop, if not the most, in the area.

Look into it for what? They are relaible shop, they did my swap. And I got my motor thru JDMhondaparts. They also have a relaible dealer where they get there motors from.

I talk to Benson all the time, he sometime gets his motors from Osaka, HMO, and a few other places.

Have to agree with cheez and gong.

However, the simple fact that the dude won't respond to emails about the engine, that is shady.

That is very shady. He also himself could have jacked it and had Kwai install it. I know they wont ask questions on how or where you get the motor from if you bring it in or drop it off yourself. All they'll do is install it. And another thing to back them up, is they(Kwai)hardly ever get R motors in, let alone JDM GSR motors. Thats why I got mine from Sheng.

Maybe I'll print this article out, and ask Benson about this civic, or better yet. Just ask him if he remembers the civic. Im suppose to stop by there tonight so we can figure out why Im getting a code 43(obd1). So I'll try to get some info.

Ok I found out from Benson, the owner of Kwai. That they did do the swap on the car. The kid got the motor on his own. So it could be stolen and it could not be, I dont know and I dont know who this kid is.

So theres no need to call the FBI on Benson, he's a good guy.
