Very easy to deal with, replied within a day on every E-Mail. Very impressed with the GTX front clip, clean and as described. A warning on everyone buying a front clip though, you will have to pay another $300 plus to the shipping companies, for holding, misc fees, bla bla bla. Anyone needing a GTX motor this is the person to deal with!!!

whats the major advantages for me to justify droppin twice the cash, so i can have a clip instead of just the engine/tranny? ecu and body panels? its a tempting proposition, i just dont know which one i should do... will familia panels bolt to a scort wagon?"Squirrels are evil because they have thumbs."

with a bp-gtx swap you will need to mix what you have with what you need... aka well i have 1/3 of the intake hoses needed so now i have to go drop a bunch of money on all custom made hoses... it has ALL the sensors ALL the controllers ALL the vaccuum lines EVERYTHING to make it run like the gtx does in japan. its a toss up if its totally worth it or not but i think if i came across the money at one time instead of spending my money when i got it piecing together a turbo i would be much more pleased with the end result with a front clip swap.There are no stupid questions, just stupid people.

also... worth an extra grand? most places sell the motor and trans for in the neighborhood of 1100 dollars... trans = no good... that leaves you with everything it didnt come with... down pipe, exhaust (will still have to be done with a front clip) intake piping, bov, water lines, basically i figure to have it done right from the begining your at least looking at 2k to have just a gtx motor running. im in the hole 3k on my bp turbo setup... with alot of unneed cash spend (about 550 for 3" crush bent exhaust given i have a flanged section for a cat and a resonator for when i want to track it and that costed extra, 130 for a stock gtx smic because i had all the piping...)
you must also remember the cost of fluids... when i put my fresh bp in my lxe i think i had 100 dollars in fluids... tranny fluid, oil, radiator fluid, brakleen, oil filter... and the list goes on...There are no stupid questions, just stupid people.

thats very true... i always forget to add in the cost of incidentals.. lol... maybe this will be the wy to go for me and the scrote-wagon. i think im gonna rebadge the thing with my mazda & protege badges, but leave the wagon badge if there is one."Squirrels are evil because they have thumbs."
