what the hell? lol

Post by Ruben MX-3 »

Today I went to a japan auto parts place in my area and they wanted to charge me 600 bucks for a mx-3 4cyl dohc tranny with 40,000km and they also said the reason fo ri t being that price is because its a j-spec tranny.... <p>LOL! Im just curious but can anyone tell me what the difference is?

Dude, don't you know that J-spec trannies add 20hp, plus just think of all the respect you will get when you tell people that its a J-spec :D

Our cars are Japenese, does that make our cars J-Spec :D :D :D :D <p>Heheheh ;) <p>It is normal for our tranny to be j-spec, they are japenese.. but your seller didn't use the right argument.. He should have said they are rare, compare to an american transmission..<p>Use a Escort GT tranny, show him that american cars use Japenese tranny ;)

I'm just kidding dude, just making fun of all those Honda owenrs out there who pay like $7000 for a liscence plate frame from a JDM Civic Type R. In all seriousness that doesn't sound like the best deal and it sounds like that guy is jerking your chain, I'd look around some more.
