    Small core FMIC and believe it or not....the amber lens in the lights makes it look tame and stock. The Perrin made mine look aggressive. But looking good justin. Gotta ask though....is that bent/dented fins on the FMIC I'm seeing?

    It's very mildly agressive. I'm thinking with the fmic black, it should add a slight bit more stealth. This would help with the gawking and ga400 civics and such bothering me.

    Just looked up the for sale add. Used built engines just scare me, you make a lot of assumptions when you buy a used engine. Especially if you don't pull it apart.

    Was your car the one I listened to up at All-Pro the other day?

    Trust me, it will defiantly be inspected before going in. I'm not sure if it was mine or not. I doubt it, my motor is out.

    I agree with Ball. I bought a used built engine off of this board and had ball engines take it apart just to be safe and make sure everything was ok. Turns out all 4 pistons were cracked. The seller lost his job and could not afford to refund anything back to me so I paid a premium for essentially a short block I had to put new pistons into.

    I've seen two more sets of broken JE forgings since then.

    OP, you need to find out if that engine has the JE full round forgings in it. If it has the JE FSR forgings in it then it might be ok.
