I was looking around for front clips (CA18DET) and I found a company by the name of JARCO. They seem to do mostly toyota stuff, but they said they could get me a CA18DET front clip w/driveshaft, diff, and fuel pump for about $1,700. That sounds like a pretty decent price, but I wanted to know if anyone had any experience with this company. I've never really heard of them, and wanted everyone's imput on them. Thanks!

Thats how I found them actually. A friend of mine is into Supra's and he said I should email them and see if they can get my a clip. He spoke very well of them.

Thats where I got my front end. They're pretty cool guys and their shop is about 10 miles from my house. You walk into the back of their shop and there's like 20 half-cuts, 100 used JDM rims, exhausts, suspension stuff, body panels, seats, headlights, etc. stacked and laying around. Come to think of it, when I bought my front end, I found out that my neighbor actually works there. LOL. Yeah, he's got a Hachi.

thanks guys, thats the info I needed. I talked to them today and I can't even put a deposit down till the begining of next month and I can't get any thing from Afterdark until then either. Looks like I'm not going to see a motor for a couple of months! That really sucks cuz I have the cash in hand, and now have no place to spend it! Oh well. Thanks again guys.

Well I just won a bid for a silvia front end conversion from them on ebay. I paid $1,025 so I got an OK price. Not a steal, but I don't think I got raped either. The panels looked REALLY clean and straight and it had a turbo bumper. Only thing I saw wront was a small dent and scrape in the hood. We'll see how the transaction goes. If it goes well I may get it from them. Here is the auction; http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISA...27004 Lemme know what you all think.
