What does a front clip usually cost Options

[celica101]

I have been talking to some dismantlers in Japan and a few other countries about some st185 & st 205 front clips. I am curious as to what those of you that have swapped or have researched the swap have paid...Either for a front clip or however you got you engine

$3,600 with body panels. $4,400 shipped. I would suggest spending the money on the 205. I bought my front clip from a company in Canada. This seems to be the better method since we have free trade with Canada. This is the company I ordered my front clip from. I would caution anyone who buys from them. There were many things I was unhappy about while doing business with them. They bent my trd steering wheel, crushed my fenders, stole my rear trd struts, turbo timer and boost gauge and were slow about doing business. But all major components were undamaged and the price was decent. Also, beware of buying only the engine swap package as they have on the website! It does NOT come with the MAP sensor(turbo pressure sensor) which you desparately need! It is very expensive and difficult to obtain. You also have to find an intercooler pump and heat exchanger along with countless brackets and stuff! call or email them to inquire about orderind a front clip. It takes about 6 months to arrive unless they have one in stock

If you can get the guys in Japan to get you st205 map sensors, dooooooooooit! you would make a fortune if you sold a bunch of them for like $75-100ea
