you can't buy an LS frontcut unless you find someone who is selling one that has been smashed in the rear-end... but you can buy a late model (2000 +) low milage frontcut from the seats forward for about $5k, they're being brought in from Japan... a mob in Adelaide are doing it

but the front subframes are differnt and a carby can produce more hp than the injection prolly better of with the motors that miniimports has and he also has disk brake front ends as well

brickworx racing are the guys doing it.....they're importing full cars as well......they look sweet as...but yeah you could get most of the stuff in carby form cheaper anyway.....basically an injection front cut has all the stuff needed to get an injection motor going....motor (duh :roll: ), gearbox, loom, manifolds, injection stuff, computer, etc etc....so you;re basically paying for all the bits and pieces you cant really get over here otherwise. You could find an entire 1275 car for less than that if you shop wisely.

get in touch with miniimports, he was selling 1275s for about $600-$700 :shock: (i wish i had some cash :cry: ) and ask 850pvan about it, he bought one not long ago

Ya cant call anything supplied by Lucas a "wiring loom". They only ever supplied "Random Unsuspected Shorting Harnesses". And RUSH was what ya have to do, getting to yer battery to stop it.
