La3=$$$$$

Post by xrpat »

Whoa, an La3 just sold on ebay for $152.50!!, thats PE country! According to WWW.Car-part.com a 5spd turbocoupe ecu can be had very easily for under $100 , in fact all but 2 listings are for less than $100. Most of the yards I have dealt with will at least honor the DOA policy which is more than can be said for items purchased on ebay.

not everything on ebay is a bad deal, I'd say more things are a great deal than a bad, you just hafta watch closely.

I just got mine on ebay for $93 shipped. I probably won't use it, though, because I know someone who has a spare PE (not that I can use either right away, because I don't have an IC).

That was a good deal, i think I usually see them around 75 or so lowest I've seen recently is 50.

You can run a PE without a IC, I was all last summer without any problems except at WOT, and that was just some surging but wasn't there much and expected it, I had an IC but never got it installed. I was running my knock sensor though.

I'll sell mine for 100, I don't need it right now and may never will. This way it will save you 52.50 and I will throw in free shipping even. :lol:
