just make sure you check the motor, mine came with very expensive sensors missing.

i'm trying to look for something local, so i won't have to pay for shipping.

and.. they yusef, you bought your clip from venus? how many km was on it? and hows the compression and leakdown readings?

My compression was solid. One of my turbos was blown but they offered me a replacement set if I paid shipping.

Let me know if you get a passenger side fender splash shield, a decent overflow reservoir or a cover for the cruise control. I could use all three.

according to Jay whos working on the car, the motor is in REALLY good condition, compression and everything is very good.

only thing was i also bought a transmission, and it looked like it was opened before, and they never mentioned of that to me. but im hoping it will be ok. also some sensors were missing, expensive ones. so just make sure they are there.

but besides that i say they are great.

But aren't soarers 1JZGTE? I'm looking for 2JZGTE..

plus.. i'll have extra parts to replace some parts I need, and parts to sell if I buy a clip.
