To the best of my knowledge 1jz front clips are not even legal to import anymore.

I know that Jarco had to send all the 1jz front clips they had back when customs came in and laid the smackdown on them. I'd assume any more being sent in would have a hard time clearing customs.

Not sure why it would matter if the engine has a front end of a car attached to it, but whatever. Maybe they were worried about people welding two half cars together and ghetto ridin' :)

That was what i was planing on was reselling them for cheep since the new pair i bought for $50,:aigo: to some one for a conversion. But once i started to remove the old ones, the previous owner had siliconed the whole thing into place. Im guessing so they dont rattel. I dont know why.:icon_evil The passenger one is in a million pieces, the center on is good, I havent removed the drivers side yet but it is also glued the fuck in. So if anything i will have the center piece left over.

LOL :biglaugh: weld two fronts of supras together. Customs might have something to do with it because a couple places i called that used to have clips like 2 years ago dont even carry a one any more. Also i see the price of them went sky hi.

I bet you it is because they have lead paint in them and are afraid of having them recalled. JK

Motor is almost ready to get sent out for blueprinting, and balancing. I wanted to go 1jz but same price to build up a 7m and this one will be alot stronger. Im going forged pistons .040 over and rods.

Screw the antenna, shave it and put in a hidden one in the back window.

I did that to my last 89 i build and the radio sucked ass. So this time i am going to stay factory.:icon_bigg. also i dont want a hole or filler color untell i paint the car. Maybe when it comes time to repaint, and that kind of funn stuff, i will remove it, fill in the hole and try the shaved antenna again. By the way is that your green 02 GIXXER?

I'm sure I will, I'm in the process of tryn to find everything I need to change my N/A auto to a turbo m/t. I've got the ECU and harness and the N/A block is headed to the machine shop, but I don't know what all I'm gonna need to finish it. I'm sure you'll get plenty of questions from me.
