Should I do it? V4 Front Clip!
Here is the deal, I found a version 4 front clip. I want to do an engine swap with my RS, so here are pics, and everything is included except for the sterring wheel, body pannels, brakes, and lights:
The total would be around $5k for everything. It looks like it may be easier to stay with RHD since the entire engine is set-up for it. Just tell me what you think and here is the post for it on NASIOC: http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show...ght=front+clip
Thanks,
Nate

Nate...is your main goal a conversion to V. 4 or are you mainly going for the turbo engine?
If it's just that you want more power...why don't you buy one of those V. 8 STi crate motors from Gruppe-s? Just a thought...though $5k 'aint bad as long as everything is in good order

Yeah I don't want to spend the money on a brand new engine, then I would still need a tranny, so this works for me. I want the engine that was made for the car to some extent. I would go with a USDM STi engine, but the guy I was buy from sold it to someone else.
