Default JDM ITR Clip?

Is this a fair average price for a clip in this condition? It seems like a deal to me.

:eh: You do know that's the norm for a "front clip"?
Japanese export regs usually mandate that the chassis be chopped.
It's tragic, yes....but entirely common.

To answer the OP's question:
Yeah, considering the condition of the exterior sheet metal, the intact RHD dash and the complete drivetrain, that's a pretty decent price.

EDIT: Shipping is rather steep, but if its coming from Hong Kong, I can understand. Hope you're the patient sort. h:

any reason for the entire clip? why not just do the front end and save some money and spend on something else, like boost?

I would say that is a very good deal....Considering all the great stuff you get-HIDs, RHD, and complete drivtrain.

thats a very good price, the front end alone is worth $3000. and about anther $4500.00 for the engine. Are you thinking of buying it?

No no no! :nono: Don't do that. :noes:

If you wanted to build a right hand drive, JDM ITR converted, USDM Integra, you would use that front clip:

a) For the front fenders, hood, headlamps, bumper, radiator core support and bumper support.

b) For the entire drivetrain and steering rack.

c) Lastly, with all the above stripped off, use the JDM firewall as a template to modifiy the firewall on the USDM car as you complete the interior conversion, using the JDM dash, center console, etc.

I doubt it would take much in the way of cutting.:thinking: I think it's more a matter of grommet swapping, plugging up the holes on the left side of the firewall, installing the JDM dash, pedal box and steering column on the right side.

Long story short, it's a good deal.
And the seller appears to have a good rating.
Be sure to insure this thing for the trip 'cross the Pacific. :yes:

I couldn't see the whole thing so I didn't know it was just the front end. My remark to chopped, meaning "chop shop" as it look stripped down from a theft recovery.
