Okay im trying to convince my dad that instead of a rebuild, a 3sgte swap is a better route.

Already contacted RpmGarage and they gave me quotes on shipping and other stuff.

Those who ordered front clips or took part in the process of someone ordering a clip know how long it took? Also their experience with Customs, taxes and fees, getting the clip from point A to point be.

They told me the clip would be in Hawaii in 3-5 weeks (pretty damn fast biggrin.gif ) but i would have to battle through Customs and taxes and all that good stuff rolleyes.gif Then there's getting the clip loaded and driven oh....35 miles to my house where the magic is supposed to happen biggrin.gif

Soo...........share with me. Make me feel more confident in getting the clip biggrin.gif

Also so i can show this to my pops <--will delete this sentence after laugh.gif

HEYYYYY 808, GLAD TO HEAR YOU KEEPING THE CAR! thumbsup.gif

I have bought both, a clip and a motor set.....and you will NEVER go wrong buying a clip.....Its better because you get the odometer so you know EXACTLY how many miles are on the motor, you get extra parts, and if you are only using it for the motor itself, you can sell all the extra crap associated with the clip like hood, bumper, fenders, AWD items, brakes, RHD setup, steering wheel, etc.......and by the end of it, you get the motor set for just about NOTHING.

Like I said, I have done both....and in my experience, and for your situation were you are SWAPPING to a 3s, get the clip.
