i ordered my 3sgte about a month ago from got-jdm.com and they sent me a MR2 3sgte instead of the st205 celica engine, but im not too worried about the deal the main thing i am worried about is the wire harness they sent me a cut harness so i would need to get a un cut harness does anyone know where i would be able to find one, its a jdm motor if that matters
3sgte finally arrived - 6G Celicas Forums
i have a harness..came out of my wrecked 92 st185..shoot me an pm.well talk from there
id be pissed if i got a 2nd gen when i ordered a 3rd gen.

Wrong gen AND a cut harness? Shounds to me like their trying to stiff you. Call and demand what you paid for.

i cant believe youre not angry, the st205 motor would be considerably easier to swap in both mechanically and wiring. the only plus side of getting the mr2 motor would be if you got the tranny as well. is it a 2nd gen or 3rd gen mr2 3sgte? if it is a 3rd and you got the tranny i might let it slide, but other than that i would be raising all kinds of hell. make sure they cover shipping costs to ship the mr2 motor back.

I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside.

Face your fears, Live your dreams!!!
Where does it say he got a 2nd gen? If it was a third gen mr2 clip and he got a nice tranny thats usable in his application, I could make an argument that he made out ahead. Lets not assume.

Good point, assumed mr2 = 2nd gen I still wouldnt be happy at all with the harness.

well this motor i beleive is a 3rd gen, jdm, 5spd, with lsd. I paid 2100 for the motor and all that, and they sent me a motor thats worth 2500 so their mess up and im trying to get a un cut harness out of them

fair deal, but i hope you are sure that your tranny is an lsd. Some people don't how to really test if the tranny is an lsd one. You have to turn one axle and if the other turn on the same side, this is an lsd tranny. If it turns on opposite side, this isn't lsd.

its funny how ppl keep on taking guesses when they dont know what the guy received.
If it is a 3rd gen mr2 with lsd (and it should be) then you got a real bargain there...thats if you get the harness.

98% completion---aaRon
and another plus is i have all the sensors, ever wire that is on the harness has the sensor attached, the bad part is that they cut the harness at the firewall......
so send the harness to tweak get it spliced into your celica's harness and your set! no worries
