3sgte..what should i do? Options

[hockeyplyr24]

so i want to do a 3sgte swap for my celica, but i just cant figure out what the right thing to do is. Should i get a whole front clip? or should i do what my original plans were and get either the celica or mr2 3sgte w/tranny, ECU, Intercooler, Complete Wiring(Un-Cut), turbo etc... please give me some input..im having alot of trouble deciding..im open for any suggestions

[JFrost9]

Always go with a clip over the engine + parts. Theres so many other little parts here and there that you will come up, its always best to have that clip ready. You can always sell the extra unused parts.

[hockeyplyr24]

where would be the best place to find a clip? bc i found the engine and tranny w/parts for about $2000..which i was pretty set on until i have been hearing otherwise

[Defgeph]

First, you should post in the right section

Second If this is you first swap buy a clip, it will come with every part you need. Plus by the time you have dismantled the clip you'll have an very good idea where everything goes on your car.

For the most part, motor sets are missing parts. Also you never know how they run or if they even run at all.

Good luck man

Well theres a few places... you can find quite a few just browsing thru the different posts...um im looking at a place http://www.superiortradinginternational.com, and then jarcoinc, and venus auto...some places are more expensive then others. All depends on what kinda 3sgte you want, etc.

hey man, segagt is totally a legit source of automotive information!

maybe it was out in 1993, not in america? but how many clips actually come from america? so its totally possible..
