st185 clip price, is this cheap? Options

[Uppitycracker]

Well I was thinking about going the supra or rx7 route for my next car but I came to the conclusion that I want more of an everyday car BUT it would have to be swapped for sure, I got a taste of speed with my mr2t and wont settle for anything less.

So anyways I was just looking around at engines and clips to get an idea of what I can expect and saw this on venus auto. They are asking 1500+ shipping, is that pretty cheap or average?

They also have 2 2t215 clips in stock!

Yeah...I was just pointing out that ST215's are not totally impossible. Mostly every part you need would have to come from a parts store of Japan Toyota, but with the money you can do it..thought of trying it, projected cost was too high, which is why I went ST185 route too.

Honestly, Venus is shady when you talk with them about their clips, but they may accidently give you something rare as a WRC...hehe ...Thats how shady they are, you ask for something, it looks good, and then its something better or worse.

I ended up with toysport, because of the shadiness of Venus and didn't really know what I was getting since I couldn't check it out. Toysport is worse than Venus, more shady, fat guys always eating, and overpriced. But for toysport, I visited their shop everyweek to make sure I got everything right...they even helped with the swap.

Go with Venus if you like something they have, but I know in ontario there are a lot of Import Junkyards which is what you are better off with. I am reccomending something more close by you so your shipping costs are lower or w/ pick up and the possibility to visit the place if something goes wrong.

Hope my 2cents would help you in looking for a clip.
