venus auto parts isnt to far from me so i e-mailed them and they said that the conversion would cost $800 +200 shipping if i had it shipped. i thought i had seen it else where closer to 500.
is this a good price?

they also said i could get an rb25 clip for 2700+500 shipped. good deal?
Thanx in advance

800 is a good price, but 200 for shipping? Since your in central cali why dont you just go up there and pick it up, arent they located by or in sac.?

yea their in sac. i know right about where they are and im in modesto so that was my plan anyways i was just wondering how good of a deal that is and figured i'd thow the shippin in there for others who might also be curious.
so that is a decent deal?
what about the clip? that decent also?

Venus has some of the cheapest prices out there. 800 is a nice price for a S13 front. The clip is a great price also, but venus is a little iffy. SOME people have had problems with their engine, bad compression, bad rings etc. If I were you, id go for it.

awsome thanx! i wouldnt be to worried about compression since i would go there to pick it up and have them do a comp test for me and save myself the 500 shipping.

If your doing that, then most def. go for it. Try and have them/make them do a comp test right in front of you

thats what i was hoping to have them do. i prolly wont be buying the new engine just yet tho. i just thought i'd ask.
so far i dont have the cash to spend on that just yet.
soon enough tho!

i love my car now! i cant wait for a five speed and a 250hp turbo engine!

Being that you can drive over there and check out the parts/engine so you can see the condtion. I would go for it.
