    Tilted?

    Is it just me or is the whole engine leaning?

    maybe... but to make sure... look underneath at the engine mounts. It may be an optical dillusion due to the massive intake pipe.

            That looks REALLY messed up... the car is pretty enough, but that leaning engine throws a bright red flag!

              Yep, something is busted in there. Just looking at the coil packs and where the left V/C should be.

                Yeah but ..

                "Suggested Price $9,500.00
                Our Price $4,995.00
                You Save: $4,505.00 "

                Its really just the greatest deal .. ever. Its really not suspicious at all that the motors leaning to one side, its just that heavy intake weighing it down.

                    it's probably just a broken motor mount, but who knows what replacing that entails on an SN95

                        Its a pretty car. But at the price, I's suspect a salvage title.

                        But I suppose it could just be the motor mounts. Maybe a not so smooth driver clanging through the gears...
