go from jarconic man... the last time i talked to Michael when he was dropping off my clip, i asked him and he mentioned that there are 2 containers coming in sometime this month... either mid or end...

Michael Hooper [mhooper@jarcoinc.com] is his email address...

tell him Denis from daytona beach told you to contact him... he would know.

they are reputable and the do the cutting of the front clip themselves.. so nothing is missing...

ST185 clip for engine only. MR2 clip for engine and tranny.

Aaagogo · 07-11-2005, 01:53 PM

yupe, it is... they have about a 5 yr good and clean reputation from selling clips...

go to my sig and read my journal... there are 3 links there and those shd provide u with the basic info...

we might be able to work on the swap together...

yea i def hear u there thanks again...oh yea, Aaagogo u got a trans with ur clip right?....not that it matters cause from what i gather u cant use that 1 anyway...but do u plan on using ur 5FSE tranny? or u gotta grab an MR2 1?

Aaagogo · 07-11-2005, 03:30 PM

using my 5sfe tranny... i'm not and i can't push that much power... primarily cause my chasis is a convertible... and also, don't have that much $$$ to do body strengthing to her.

will be rebuilding the tranny though... and upgrade the clutch...

hey Lipster, if you find anything, feel free to add to my journal...

that makes a lot of sense lol. if i find any good info ill be sure to add it dont worry about that...anything to help people not have to go through all this trouble to get answers lol. i on the other hand wish to make that much power lol. do u think i should swap it for another tranny? which 1 you think? and would that be hard to do after the swap u think?

Aaagogo · 07-11-2005, 03:52 PM

from all that reading that i've got...

u have 2 choice... the tranny from the V6 camry or the solara, but personally feel that if u want to make power... the MR2T with LSD is a better choice..

Lipster · 07-11-2005, 07:41 PM

thats pretty much what im gathering is there a difference is difficulty (instalation wise) between the MR2 or solara clutch or is it basically the same?
