Sounds like a good deal to me.

I would just be sure to have a knowledgeable person come with you to pick the car up and check the compression of the motor, etc.

Also, make sure you get something in writing that says you will be getting a complete swap w/ic for that price. Try to get them to agree on an acceptable compression for the motor that you will leave with. I beliebe 155psi is about right for an SR, but you will want to verify that with someone who knows.

If $4k is your out-the-door price for a running, solid SR then it's a good deal.

If they start at $4k and then tell you the clip didn;t have an i/c and want to add $1000 to the price, and then say the clip didn;t have an ingnitor, MAF, Ecu and other stuff and want to charge extra for it then it is not a good deal. If $4k includes the side mount and they offer to uprage to a front mount for an extra $800 or so, it's still a good deal and they're not trying to screw you.

Good luck!

I don't know if this means anything to you, but the black top will be newer than the red top.

But if they're giving you a 6 month warranty than it's not much of a consideration. Enjoy!
