You can easily get whole front clips from the s13 body parts and all for around 1500. You just have to call around to a lot of the import junkyards, I was contemplating doing this abotu a year ago and checked in on the prices

hahaha…thats funny…there is no way to get a complete front clip with body panels for 1500 bux. i’m sorry you read sport compact car and believed all their hype about building a silvia for 3000 dollars…

all of our motors are 100% guaranteed and complete. 2350 + shipping is what we get them for, and i personally would never buy a motor from anywhere else than who i buy motors from. he’s been in the business longer than anyone of importing sr20’s and now rb25’s and rb26’s. i’d personally spend a couple of extra bux to get something i know is going to be all there and in good working condition…

nope they weren’t, none of the dsm forums were around, the dsm mailing list was pretty young at the time and the biggest turbo you could put on the car was a b16g or hybrid using those wheels.

that’s what i said, there was no communication between people tuning the cars and “kids” who owned them, they weren’t popular back then or they wouldnt have stopped making them, they dropped the talon in 98 due to lack of sales and the eclipse in 99 because of the same reason…if they were around todayh they’d be sellin a shitload of them cuz everyone and their mom wants one turbo or not :rolleyes:
