where are you planning on getting your motor from? from what i hear it is best to get a full front clip so you won't need to worry about getting any extra parts. if you are lucky you can find one that includes the jdm fenders, hood, and bumper as well.

Call me a traitor! See if I care. ;)
you have to get a custom wireing harness too i believe
Make sure you get the clip or else you'll be fishing for misc. parts.

yea, go with the clip....ive seen front clips for under 3k excluding fenders and bumper but thats still decent considering you wont have to go looking for much extra.
Do yourself a favor. Save up for the clip. wink.gif
so ive seen these clips now, and of course there really big and all, just how do you get it installed on ur car? its not something they can just deliver like a motor to your house right? How much to install it?
The point of getting the clip is to get every thing you need for the swap. From coil packs, ignitors ect. Its just like any other motor swaps. You take the motor out of your car and the clip and take the motor from the clip and put it in yours. Of course you will need the ecu harness converted to run the ecu from the clip.
