Stop messing around with EBAY crap, you never know what you're getting. Call Brian Willoughby at 310-901-4805. He's at a foreign car shop in Hawthorne, CA, and imports whole JDM engines from Japan. He sold me my 20B for $4500.00 with a guarantee that I would have at least 90 PSI at each plug, I had 100!! The engine was complete, including air conditioning, starter, intercooler, oil cooler, wiring harnesses, flywheel, etc. He totally checks out the engines before he ships, and they are complete. He also has parts coming out of his ears, and sells them cheap. I just got back from picking up 2 intercoolers, 3 different water pump housings, 2 alternators, for NO charge!! If what he sells you has problems, he will exchange, or rebuild, whatever works. I obviously can't recommend him high enough. Additionally, this guy knows as much about rotaries in race cars, as Tracy does in airplanes. Great source of information.

Subject: [FlyRotary] Re: eBay or local for RX8 engine?
Hi;
I recommend that you check with your nearest auto wrecker. I found one at our local
wrecker, for $3200 no trade-in, no paying for shipping (I pick up) and local support, warranty
includes that it is a working engine, it also has only 20,000 on it. I haven't purchased it yet,
because I'm just not ready.
Once you count the extra $500 for not having a core to trade and the cost of shipping, you
may do better closer to home. Furthermore, he is selling it "as is", so there is no recourse if
the block is cracked due to an accident.
