rear clips

[thinmyster]

anyone know a "local" that sells rear clips?
2gen or 3gen 3s-gte welcomed

speedtech and jdm source seem to only list engine trans ecu etc. not a complete clip

[bmeier]

i bought my 3rd gen clip from JDm source, sometimes they get them in phone them up and tell them what your looking for

[Redlyne_mr2]

Speedtech has a gen 3 in stock, has an airwalker rear bumper on it, stainless lines on the read brakes, of course the 94+ spoiler and the infamous engine. Go in talk to Nick, tell him your buds with Ryan and that I told you about the mr2 clip.

sweet thanks guys for the heads up! ill definately check it out

[thinmyster]

you guys have been pm'd !

[thinmyster]

hey guys! what else would i need if i purchase a rear clip what other things should i get done while the motor is out of the car ie. timing belt/water pump?
thanks

seals would be nice to do ;)
they are a bitch to get to when its in :D

[jvillain]

Hose from hell, atleast inspect clutch and flywheel. Replace any seal you can, While the turbo and engine are out is a great time to loose the primary cat for a down pipe, or at least vanish one of the brackets for the cat incase you decide to do it later. Altrernators on these cars have short life spans, maybe get it rebuilt. Inspect every hose. Inspect the wiring harness. Ever gonna be winter driven? Want a block heater? Nows the time.

BTW any one got an oil level sender they want to sell?

We looked at the rear clip from SpeedTech *the blue one* looks fairly complete, good buy. Dunno what there asking but if you haven't checked it out you might want too.

yeah ive checked that one out too. but i didnt get a price either?

[Redlyne_mr2]

I think theyre looking to sell it in the high 3K range. Has some nice extras.

[thinmyster]

^^^ yeah but i dont believe its a third gen

[Ghettobaby]

well should you happen to buy the speed tech clip I'll buy the rear bumper from you, if you don't want it.

[thinmyster]

Since you're doing a swap....Gen 3!!! :bigpimp:

[bmeier]

depends what you want, IMO Gen 3 out of the box is a better deal for upto around 275 at wheels...

if you want more than 300 at the wheels get a gen2 because the are cheaper more common and they are easier to get parts for. To do this you will probably want a standalone EMS and a new turbo setup etc....

This is my opinion only dont get angry if you dont agree :)

i went with a gen 3 because i want OEM reliability and dont plan to mod the motor besides an intercooler and boost controller...

[Redlyne_mr2]

I havent actually seen the engine but stop by and have a look ...it takes 2 secs to figure out what Gen it is.
