got my front clip today

sen2two · 02-26-2009, 07:37 PM

i got my front clip today. pretty sick opening a box and theres half a car there...lol

but it cam with some goodies. the best thing by far is the one piece Cusco struts with camber plates. but i need the matching rears...where could i get just the rears? what about mixing a different brand for the rear???

it also came with this HKS thing. im thinking its a fuel cut defender...but im not really sure. anyone know for sure what this is???

anyone heard of this company IMOLA? looks like a cool wheel, i'll use it. i might get it re-wrapped though.

then some strut bars and some other things...front clips are the shit. you always get suprises. but it sucks when you only get half a suspension. how the hell would i find the matching rear?

Whats the clip for? RHD conversion?

Check the backside of the steering wheel, you might find its made by sparco, etc as a lot of JDM companies buy italian steering wheels and rebrand them...

staticpat · 02-26-2009, 08:07 PM

The HKS thing looks like a boost pressure sender for an electronic HKS boost gauge.

sen2two · 02-26-2009, 08:27 PM

i checked the wheel, no other markings anywhere. i also found that the stock ECU isnt so stock. its re-tuned by pan-speed. i know i've seen these things on ebay, but this is actually tuned for this specific motor and set-up. pretty cool...

you might be right there staticpat, cause thats where the stock pressure sensor would sit.

where did you get the clip and how much?

sen2two · 02-27-2009, 02:07 AM

tigerautoparts.com

2254.00 shipped to my door. wich i thought was a great deal...

WE3RX7 · 02-27-2009, 11:19 AM

Lol ^ I'm still curious what the clip was for? Did you need a used engine, RHD conversion, etc?

sen2two · 02-27-2009, 06:13 PM

everything...

jerd_hambone · 02-27-2009, 08:46 PM

Why not have half a RHD TII sitting around?

You can get in it and pretend you are in Initial D and in a mad tight JDM car!

Just messing around. Lots of people seem to get goodies along with front clips

sen2two · 02-27-2009, 09:36 PM

when i first got it, i crouched down behind the wheel and pretended to drive it...lol

im still hoping i have a nice clutch/flywheel in there. i havnt checked yet...

Max777 · 02-28-2009, 12:01 AM

Why dont you try to contact cusco's U.S. distributors about the suspension? This might also be a good chance to get the ones you have reconditioned.

However, if doing that costs more than $1500, dont bother and just get Stance GR+ coilovers.

anyway, congrads on the clip! I might have to do this myself because a complete used T2 engine can cost around that much easy!

Flooder · 02-28-2009, 03:26 PM

I can get stances for a decent price. Well under $1500. I just sold a set for an S13 for like $1200 shipped. I can get an even better price on ksport or D2.

Max777 · 03-01-2009, 03:03 PM

Oh yeah? That's cool man, all the people I know running stance love them.

Flooder · 03-02-2009, 07:45 PM

$1145 shipped for Stance GR+ coilovers for the FC anywhere in the continental US.

WE3RX7 · 03-02-2009, 07:55 PM
