Yeah. I just saw that ad on Craigslist. As good of a deal that this might be, there are definitely some holes in ad. I mean, if he is really trying to sell, he would be a little more polite, right?

 

you'd think so... I mean, I really don't think I was being a jerk... *shrug*

Also, the car is lowered but he doesn't know how (springs, struts, coilovers??) and needs some paint work.

I would have gone and bought it yesterday if he'd been nicer. I want a black car...

I don't know man... That looks hella shady. We should check it out. Someone wants to check it out with me? I'll be back in the bay (Fremont) for Thanksgiving. Rau!!! Get this!! Everything you need for an EJ20 swap...

 

Has this one come up yet?

Oh... CowTown is a reference to Davis.

 

Sorry, but no.

CowTown = Vacaville

 

back in the kings vs lakers haydays, phil jackson reffered to sacramento as a cow town.. so either way your not looking at that big of an area

 

Wow... My bad then. I always thought cowtown was Davis. That's what a lot of other students call it. Well... now I know...

 

I got a reply from the guy that is selling the swapped L. Here is the email:

"Here's a link to some pictures I took today, let me know if you want me to take a picture of some part in particular http://new.photos.yahoo.com/tam_ly11...60762344410306 . The chassis has 140,000 I believe, and the engine, tranny, and rear diff have around 30k on them bought used from Japan and haven't used since swap. The last owner had a different engine swap in the car for a while then he took it out and put in this one but decided to sell it before he finished wiring it. I bought it to part out but now I don't have time so I'm selling it. The guy at Garage tuning said that the tranny alone is worth $2,000. Many of the parts haven't been used since it's been put in car. "

It looks like it is missing stuff stuff but yeah.

 

Well, I could be wrong. I'm just going by the literal Spanish translation:

vaca=cow
ville=town

Of course, like the other guy said, a cowtown could be synonymous with "one-horse town", "hicksville", you get the picture.

 

You could be right SnotRod.


Yeah. Anyone want to check out that swapped L with me. It looks interesting. I guess what we could do is get someone to buy it and then part it out ourselves.

There is a 2000 2.5RS in the Sac region of Craigslist for under $8000. I'll look for the link later.
