what's the usually cost of an s13 front clip?

[blackcruzan]

i remember a place in augusta, ga., told my friend $2200 last summer, so is that the usually price or no?

[Touchdown038]

Which engine are you talking about?

[blackcruzan]

sr20det engine, i'm not sure if it was a black or red top. i'm new to the nissan scene and no i'm not jumping on no drifting bandwagon.

$2600+ For a good one. Plus around $500+ for shipping.

[blackcruzan]

thanks, cause my plan is to save up $5,000 and make my decision of either buying a civic and doing a swap or getting an s13 coupe and buying a whole front clip and try the rwd thing

i cant believe you even considered a swapped civic over a swapped 240. Now Ive heard everything.

[toledo240]

if you were planing on putting 5 grand, buy just the engine and transmission and ecu from a company. and use the extra 2000-2500 to use for upgrades on a redtop or blocktop that easy 250-275whp if you pay your cards right.

He has to buy the car and the motor with the $5000.

blackcruzan, good luck on you quest to find a car and motor.

[toledo240]

oh i didn't know you had to get the car!! sorry.But if you're going to swap the engine just look for a dirt cheap 240. I have bought two for under 700 bucks, then just get missing parts off the forums from people parting out. Just giving you advice on the mistake I posted, sorry

Swapped civics are cute.

[Onizuka]

lol ^

[blackcruzan]

yes, i have to buy the car also. right now i have $2k, so i figure by next year spring/summer i should have $5k saved up and hopefully $2k at the most would go towards an s13 coupe and the rest towards a whole front clip with the sr20det engine.

but if not a front clip than i'll just get an engine and some type of decent aftermarket front bumper cause stock is just to ugly:(, but who knows how i'll feel then, all i know is that i wanna try the rwd thing and see why a lot of people love it.

[Onizuka]

You got it mixed up, stock bumper= good. Cheap arse aftermarket bumpers on a otherwise stock body = looks like my turds after eating corn. Or at least i have tricked myself into thinking this

[toledo240]

When you do get a 240 ill sell you my nismo front bumper or even trade ya bumpers. I like the front bumpers on 240's I just wish i never wanted to show off my car while I was in high school or I never would've changed it.
