[jjwilks240]

guys that comment about the swap was directed to my friends on a local forum i just copied and pasted to make this thread, its just a joke

i did the swap in my garage with hand tools and a cherry picker and jack and 4 jackstands

i paid $1500 canadian for the clip but i was hooked up a lot in price, cost me $1600 to do the swap after factoring gass and oils

lol, its cool. I took it as a joke to begin with.

So it was about $1200 USD....damn that is a hell of a hook up for a clip....lucky everyone else but me

I got my motorset with harness, ecu, all ignitors, piping, blitz filter, and intercooler, and transmission and all that, for around $850 (it was $940 after taxes and all) and paid $75 to have my harness wired... then extra for the new vaccuum lines, clamps, tee's, gear oil, etc... but I didn't need any new parts... so I guess I did pretty well.

This place in town has clips for $2k. I dont really trust getting motorsets/clips from places that arent in town (except maybe boost boy and pulsar).

I want a clip so I know I'll have everything...getting a motorset does not go well with my luck.

[jjwilks240]

Hey jjwilks240, Do you still have the clip? If so, can I have your Vacuum resivoir? It's over on what would be the passenger side in the US. Behind the strut tower.

yes i do have it and sure i can sell it, i thought the reson for it was to reduce compressor surge from factory? gimme an offer on it

[jjwilks240]

and a new aero toy

[Neejay]

Niiiiice man...are you gonna scrape? What are you dropped with?

[jjwilks240]

Neejay- those prices were from Jhot, located north of you in Augusta GA

Thats very encouraging. How long ago was that though?

JHOT is about a 1-1.5 hour drive southeast of me. I guess I would have to call them, because I dont think they ever update their website....I know they have a store on ebay too though.

[ca18detizzle]

what kind of lip is that?! ive been trying to find one of those but i have no luck!! how much did you pick it up for?

[cadet]

that was like a month ago, so pretty recent. I won it on an ebay auction but I've seen several other ca's go for comparable prices. or you could just call them and say "hey my friend got one for $940 including tax, if you get another one in I'll pay that for it" I would think they would prolly do it.

[jjwilks240]

ca18detizzle, it is a copy of veilside lip.

my friend sells them i can get you one for a really good price at $300 canadian. let me tell you these are stronger, lighter and more flexable than the real thing.

add me to msn if you are interested [email protected]

that goes to anyone else interested

[cadet]

that looks like the pdm repro, is it?doesn't fit pignose tho.

[NeedCAforS13]

the PDM one has two holes in the front of the lip... its also slightly differently shaped on the bottom and has two holes under the side vents/canadian lights.
