Just curious, because I like what I see, but sometimes that can get you in trouble!

It appears to be a jdm engine but I have no personal experience with that particular company. I do however have experience with Noyan usa, I have purchased two engine from them and have put 50k on one of them and 22k on the other one. I have also dealt with a local company japandirectmotors.com, they have jdm engines in stock but they are a little more expensive than Noyan.

They are not 210hp and 214ftl/lbs and they are not 8.5:1 compression. Thats the stats on a 2G motor. The 1g is 200hp and 7.8:1 compression. Other then that it's about right.

The 35-55k thing is pretty well bogus information that they have been feeding us for a long time. SOME of the cars have that many K on them (just like here) but they are few and far between.

Here is some proof.. www.importconcern.ca Here in canada if a car is over 15 years old it can be imported with no paperwork and street driven legally as a grey market car. They are cheap to buy, cheap to insure and pretty kick ass cars. Lets put it this way. For 15k canadian (about 13k u.s.) you can have a 90 Skyline R32 with the RB26DETT sporting 272hp and AWD or a 300z TT for 8-9000 or MR2 Turbo for 6000. Regardless look at the mileage on the cars and see for yourself...

http://www.importconcern.ca/broker/ - As you can see all the cars are around 100k generally on average or more. A few are less but not many. So that basically blows the they don't drive cars with more than 50k on them thoery out of the water. I know a guy in Japan and all that BS is not true they drive cars for a long time too and put lots of K's on them. Just not AS many as we do.
