What you have above is the first POST in a THREAD.
A thread is a series of posts. You might notice a #1 in the right corner. That indicates you have the first post. Mine will have a #2 for making the second post ... etc.

Why do you want a 3rd Gen JDM engine?
Why not just get a 2nd Gen USDM 3SGTE and make life easier?

I hope you realize that you will need a lot more than just the engine to make it work properly in your car.

^^ amen to that. Once you start making your car right it becomes a never ending process. It will show you every little ache and pain it's got and ask that you spend money and effort to make the boo-boo go away.

KISS method is your friend.

i am in the process of doing a jdm swap but i went with a whole rear clip (i would not bother with jdm BUT they are wayyy cheaper) as for a 3rd gen they are overpriced with the money you save you would beable to upgrade it and beat a 3rd gen anyway

as for finding it, the shop doing it for me found a clip with 40k on it for 2400, but if they diddent find one i would have went with jspecautosports.com (they have a rear clip)

hmm...so the usdm would be your guys reccomendation..is there any good site for usdm..all i seem to find is jdm..i recently came across the jspec..

well...if you know of any shops around you make them do the work and try to fund one ...just to tell you now though my shop found one with 60k on it and it was 3k PSH YA riiighhttt
