I got it from Jack at jdmengineworld.com. I can vouch for him and he had the clip to me all the way in Albuquerque, NM in 5 business. Just as described too. Stay away from Jdmcandyshop since they've screwed 2 people out of over $4k each.

Jdmengineworld has 1 Evo5 clip left in silver and it's just as clean as this one. Comes with doors, door panels and rear subframe just like mine did. Jack told me $6500 shipped on that one as well to ABQ,NM and gave me the option between mine and that one.

It's too late for me to buy one now since I have all this, but shoot me a pm with pics and info and I'll spread the info around. I may know a few interested parties.

Thanks

Very few women see the potential in vehicles. When I was putting my S13 together, my ex would tell me my car was ugly but then she'd see an S13 at a drift event or see me scoping them out online and she'd say they looked good. The fact that it's the same car didn't matter. My car was ugly and always would be, because it was hideous when I bought it. : /

Not yet, unfortunately. I have my current maroon Mirage up for sale as of now. I've had a few people interested in it but my work and school schedule doesn't allow me to show it until the weekend, so hopefully it'll be sold then. I'm trying to find a white Mirage, but nothing locally. I do have someone wanting to sell me a silver one with an auto trans and blown motor for a good price so I may pick that one up.

My garage is completely stuffed and I have no room to work right now. Once I find a white one, or a better build candidate, I'll be able to start transferring parts and free up enough room to yank the motor out of this clip.

good luck with the project! I'm doing the same thing to my mirage. I want to get a front clip too but don't know how having a RHD car in mass would work out.

I'm not doing the RHD conversion either. The front clip is still cheaper in the long run, not to mention all the little odds and ends you get with it. A lot of these parts are hard to find. After I finish taking everything I want/need off the clip, I'm going to sell the RHD conversion parts.

Good luck on your build as well!!! After this one, I want to do an Evo 3 build. My goal is to have my garage filled with 2 old school evos lol.
