Default How to Get Rich off the SC

Buy a sc for 2k.

Buy a 1jz motor for 2k.

Install it.

and try to resell it for 10k+++

So many SCs in the classifieds with 1js. This is the new formula on how to make quick bucks.

Same here. 1991 240sxSE 5spd...SR20 (red-top)...FMIC...Hard pipes....Mogombo sized turbo.
made $6500.00 on top of my costs. Still have another SR20 on a crate in the garage.

I think the cost wont be the same with the SC....240's are cheap as hell.
One thing I don't want to go through again. All the ricer kids, tire kicking, wanting to trade me their Lime Green Honda Whatchamacalit.

Must be nice to find SC's for 2k ! The cheapest ones in Canada are around 9k.
Aliga, I wouldn't feel guilty ! I would be laughing all the way to the bank.
