Unfortunately I didn`t manage to take close pictures today...I am attaching picture of one sticker which I shot last week. I must resize every picture because you have limitation for attech files so you must forgive me bad quality.
I think I will open the package this weekend and then I will have clear picture what is inside

I got engine through warranty...I would preffer not to explain how...

Then I could surely take on those pesky Civics...Lol...

Doesnt make sense. Why would they ship the engine to the owner and not the shop if it was determined to be under warranty or something of that sort. If it is leaking oil, that would mean that it is a long block and from what I have hear, dont quote me on this, the engine is about 200+ lbs and the sticker says 100kg total weight. Fishy to me due to that is the total weight of the package and contents and having worked at a shipping store in the past, they weigh the total package, crate, engine, and cardboard. 100 Kgs is about 220 lbs. Unless they shipped it "hoping" that no one would misshandle it, by just wrapping it in cardboard only then maybe but the pallet itself would weigh over 10 lbs. If someone were to want it, I would just be leary that it would not be shipped with enough packaging equipment to keep it from being damaged. My thoughts.

I guess he will want to say how he got the engine cause it sounds pretty shady... looks pretty shady, and probably is a hot item.

Does seem that way. Unless I am mistaken, the warranty is only valid if you have your parts installed by a dealer. Mazda is not going to ship an engine just for the fun of it to your home or business just cause you want it there. The dealer has to determine if it is a warranty issue and then, if they determine it is, the dealer will order the new part/engine, in this case, and install it so that they are reimbursed for the labor and have paperwork showing the engine was installed and, that the engine is running properly.

And Also Whys The Car On The Side Of The House And Have Such A High Elevation Comparing It To The Picture Of The Motor Crate..... Is It That Ur Showing That U "have An Rx8" And Ur Not Faking It, Which Reallly Changes The Perspectives Of Others Of It Being A "real Rx8 Motor"... Or U Jus Suck At Photoshopping Shyt And Try To Use The White Blur In The Background As Sun Light Effect To Cover Up The Unused Space Of Background Since U Cant Make It Any More Faker!!!!!

you know, it is possible that the sticker with the weight and code is on 2 sides of the box. meaning it could possibly be stuck on the other (3rd) non visible side of the box, under a strap. he just needs a full 360 shot of the box and inside of it if he ever expects to sell.

Definately a FAKE!!!! Look at the pic of the label. It is partially in front of one of the straps and behind another. Also, like stated earlier, the label is poorly photoshopped. DO NOT BUY THIS FAKE!!!!!!!

Brother! I am Locate in Nigeria and have client who share your username. Unfortunate, my client passed in terrible automobile crash on mountain road. At the time he passed, he had large sum of money in bank account that now must be claimed by his heirs. Unfortunate, he have no living heirs. This is where you come into effect, my brother. I will split the moneys with you if you will step forward as his heir. If this is something worth persuing to you, please send me RX8 motor and I will start the paperwork.

If someone is actualy considering buying this, they should get the engine number and contact mazda to see what they can tell you. Depending on what mazda says you might contact the police as well. I am sure if it was stolen then someone filed and stolen report. If it is brand new and not hot then someone might actualy get it.
