Just got the tracking number for my front clip and it should arrive on the 27th if all goes well. Bought it from DDX and got a good deal on it.

It came with a Blitz BOV and airnx intake. I got an ACT clutch, tomei headgasket, and tomei timing belt just for now. I imagine within 2 weeks I'll have the swap done. That'll give me time to get all the parts gathered together and get them to my house. Cant wait...havent drove my 240 in about 2 months :(

i know how that feels. very good job with the CA, i know you'll love it. a word of advice, never put a time frame on repairs to your car, in my experience it always goes awry and ends up taking twice as long.

on a side note, how much did that tomei head gasket cost you? im gonna need one sometime and have no idea what they cost.

Yeah, my swap only took 2 days to take the ka out and the ca in...but then here I am 3 months later waiting for a wire harness to come in the mail any day now. It makes it all much more worth it though, and plus, its going to be like getting a new car kinda...

I'm shooting for a weekend swap, but with the way that things have gone so far with it, I'm not real hopeful. If I can pull it off in a weekend, I'm gonna make sure EVERYONE knows it can be done! Hehehe.

Luis from DDX is a pretty cool guy. He'd respond to my emails the same day with all the infomation I was asking about. I called him up a few times to talk business with him and he does a pretty good job. He took good care of me when I ran into a little bit of trouble and is pretty understanding. I'd say give him a shot if your interested.

The front clip just came in today, have yet to see it tho considering I dont got a car to drive and the performance shop is 30 mins away but its okay...always tomorrow. I payed 1500 for the clip and I think shipping was 600-700? The total amount was 2300 for it all. Took exactly a week to reach WA to FL
