This morning i woke up and i called IAS to buy my swap from them but they sold it

the night before. I was so upset because i wanted that swap so bad. It was a

b16a3 w/ 96,000 miles on it and they wanted 2500. Well, anyways i called a friend

of mine in georgia and asked him if he knew anyone else that sold good swaps

and he said to check jarco inc. in canton georgia. i called these people and talked

to them and the guy told me that they dont do shipping that they deliver. so i was

kinda nervous that if i found something it couldnt be delivered. well... anyways i

called them and asked the guy what they had and he said that he had one half-cut

engine from a eg9 and sent me a pic to my email. when i saw the pic i drove all

the way down to georgia and wanted to see it for myself. It's a jdm b16a sir2 front

clip and it has 69,000 kilometers, which is like 43,000 miles. i fell in love with it

and had to buy. anyways to make a long story short, here's my progression so far.

Is it hard to find swaps in most places? Here in the NW they are everywhere. Not cheap, just readily available. My buddy charges like $2300 for a complete b16a swap with everything installed and like $3200-$3500 for a b18c swap.

 

wow only $2300 installed? and $3500 for b18c1 installed?

Yeah, he has very very low overhead. Pays nearly nothing for his shop and he is the only person working there. Not even a real business type of thing, just a "hobby" shop where the hobby is Honda's. All legit, super nice guy, I trust his work and word over anyones.

 

kool swap

 

Swap looks great. Get that cluster in there too.

3500 for gsr swaps. Good god! for him too

 

How did you transport the front clip?...trailer?

to the find...good deal
to the guy who runs that shop and cuts people deals
to the thread

I must be in a good mood

 

be JDM, cut ur car in half and weld that clip on

 

looking nice!

 

now thats a complete swap

 

looks lke it came from a 4dr from the cluster. it was probably driven by some old lady in japan

 

make sure that you let everyone know when you're done too... that way theives will know when you take your ****. (that was said in haste because too many of our cars are stolen).

j/p bro, good luck on your project.

oops my bad...i meant good find. hihihihi

 

I really didnt know that they was on ebay but i paid 2920 shipped for the whole

clip. He said that the damage wasn't much because they went to japan and drove

the car before they cut it. I'm also wondering how to put the cluster in my car, if t

wired straight up or what. when i was driving home i was wondering if i could cut

my car and make a right hand drive but it would take to much money, so i said

forget it. I'm hoping that th swap is in really good quality seening as that is was a

4dr. b16a. the guys seemed really confident about there stuff but anyways i inform

everyone when im done. plus i want to buy a evo system from my friend but i

dunno if it's a deep tone or a high pitch tone.

 

The cluster is a direct plug and play. No mods needed to make it work.

 

Hot **** and good luck. Remember that you cant use that JDM harness cause its backwards. Good buy. I would buy one if I had a place to put it.

 

daym, i was like "why did he change the brake booster?

So yah going RHD aye? GL wit that

 

I'll be helping toss this in this weekend. Hooray for my first swap experience.
