Hi every one. Ok so saturday night I wrecked my car. I HATE f*cking rural a*s VA. Deer in road I swerve hit deer over correct a*s end slides out I go sideways into a ditch, took out 30 feet or barbed wire fence and the post, then hit a tree. Well good thing is I'm fine and my car ain't totaled. I'm seriously thinking of taking my car and doing and SR20 swap into it. Ok heres my questions.

With gas prices the way they are is an SR20 any better on gas than the KA24?

I know thers an SR20DE, SR20DE-T and a SR20VE, is there a stock SR20VE-T.

If so does anyone know where I can get a front clip from a 97-98 Silvia with the lights body panels hood and every thing? Or are front clips usually just the fram members with the engine and engine bay conponents in there.

Thanks to everyone that can help me on this.

my SR doesn't get near as good gas mileage as my KA did. Guessing its just some Heavyfoot-itus though. You have to run Premium through an SR also so its up to you.

Gas mileage on my SR is just as good as my KA did. Then of course it can get significantly worse when you step on it a lot. (think 5mpg to 25mpg).

I wouldn't count on a front clip having decent body parts, if at all.
