Final found a sera motor, I put a deposit on it today,
Quite cheep considering only $750
After seeing joels Gorgeous engine bay on a cruise about a month ago It inspired me to do the same and improve the asthetics of the Sera's engine bay (Love your work joel)
So I'm on a mission to find some descent heat resistant engine enamal.
If anyone knows of a good brand of paint that holds up agaist such heats, Help us out and tell me what to use.
I can't wait to introduce my sera to the club, and then you might understand why I love it as much as I do.
P.S If I get my engine bay even half as good as joels I'll be stoked.
Oh and another thing, I was looking for the engine model number
on the engine to make sure it was a sera engine but only found that e5e-y10 and 5e was stamped on it.
They dont stamp the engine model on the damn things as the sera engine is a 5e-fhe and the sera is known as an exy10
So it seems likely that its is and the importer assured me.
The only engine thats close is the paseo 5e-fe and the inlet maifold is different, I remember comparing the two when Gee120 owned his.
Why do they make things so difficult?
anyway its not long now till she's back on the road, Can't wait

Try ICHIBAN 9601 6139, quoted me $695, with ecu and harness (not all the wiring) it only has like a 30 day warranty but by then u should now if its got a busted head, blown turbo etc mind you, u then have to take it out to give it back to them, but they do a leak down and comp test so the engine is gonna run how good depneds on your luck I suppose.
