BUYER BEWARE
I had to deal with crazy4kayl's uncle, after I drove some 5 and a half hours and spent $300 to get, what I was told was an Si engine. And after getting a good price of $75 with crazy4kayl for the components I purchased (ignorant me, shows how a n00b can be suckered). I then find out that what he and I discussed is null and void. Because it is all at his uncles discretion on what is sold and what doesn't get sold. So anyways, I know of a couple of people who have had to deal with crazy and they don't have a problem with him, I do understand the issue of not pissing off the owner of the place you reside. I have a problem with his uncle stepping in and taking advantage of someones ignorance.

My questions, their answers and what I ended up getting are as follows:

What kind of engine?
Si. I just pulled it for a swap.

Is the engine complete?
Yes.

ok, this is where I should have asked some more in-depth questions before I drove 600+ miles roundtrip.

I get there, everything that hasn't rusted has oxidized, but that is not the worse part of it. I have to talk to crazy4kayl's uncle. He stepped in and took over any kind of conversation that was had. I had expressed my concern about the oxidation, his response was that it was "nothing a little elbow grease won't take care of" I had expressed my concern about a complete engine, his words "It is, ya just need to work on getting it back together" Well after I have spent the time sifting through all the junk I removed from their yard, hell, I don't even have an Si manifold. The one thing that isn't eaten up with rust, I cant use on this application. And yeah, I am to blame for being stupid and driving across the state, but shit, something should have made it worth my while. After being told that It WAS a complete engine IT WAS NOT. BUYER BEWARE

So, unless its Zakats, or skullfracture selling something, do not be suprized if you get a pm from me telling you to beware of Houston parts. Because, he hasn't made a comment since selling to me nor has he shown on the board in a loooong time. This shit is still pissing me off.

Dude..you have a board to give a positive reference...whats wrong with a;
"BOARD OF INFAMY"

and then of course..make sure it is a easily accessed board so we can find out the turkeys who would prey upon us and these unique machines we all adore so much.
