i would guess you easily land a full front cut S13 for that. the cars themselves are only 100,000yen in japan. landing a AE86 front cut will be hard for that price cos the cars are popular. and the suckfull part is that they are the last of the AGE's to come north/south, all the other engines are fitted east/west

gotta eat dinner now, but will look around a bit more after.

Off topic, I brought a Nerf Longstrike gun today, soo fun. haha.
On topic, you can find a full S13 for round 3-4k now. and a SR20 one for round 5-6k.

But i don't want to spend that much lol, it's ment to be a cheap, but quality build. As it will be my daily :)

yeah soz. i meant was a turbo s13 is around 100k yen FOB in japan (1200 bucks). shipping for a whole car is 900 US, so a halfcut would fit in someones container with 8 or nine others, so i can only guess postage wouldnt be that much. shipping to SA my be a bit more $$$ cos as far as i know there is no direct port to japan. it either goes to qld (cheapest route) and goes to you on a truck, or melbourne and a truck.

i know for a fact there are a bunch of guys in SA that do front cuts, but ill be damned if i remember their names. lol. have you tried Parts Locator - the no1 autoparts directory ? just pop an email and a bunch of wreckers will get back to you with prices.
