Hey im new to the 240 and i just got a shell. Ive decided to go the SR route but i have some questions... is it easier to get the front clip or can i just get the motor/trans/ecu i kno i can use the same mounts right? I dont think ill end up doing the JDM fron so i dont wanna hafta pay extra to get the front clip unless i really need it. The other thing is how much did you guys pay for your motor/trans/ecu or front clip which ever you got?

Any help you can give me would be great thanx

Front clip is nice,You get all intercooler piping and the intercooler,Radiator,hose's,Stock airbox,downpipe,stuff like that,If your going to get a aftermaket Radiator,or a front mount intercooler,Then id say just get a motor set.

Yea i was actually just looking at heavy throttle and it works out good for me since its like an hour fomr my house...I was looking at the swap packge it comes with

EZ Install Kit, Greddy 3" downpipe, Act Street Clutch Kit, Greddy V SPL FMIC, Greddy Type S BOV with Hot Pipe, Walbro 255 lph Fuel pump, SVR slim battery for FMIC install, Permacool 14" Fan with adjustable thermostat, Generic Cone Filter Intake kit, Autometer Dual Gauge pillar pod, Autometer Phantom Boost and Oil Pressure Gauges, DNA Manual Boost Controller, Spark Plugs, fuel filter.

its 4700 does this sounds like a good deal or do u think i could get it cheaper getting the parts n my own...like i said im kinda new to the SR/240 thing but for what it comes with it sounds like a good deal
