New parts to post up tomorrow.. including the entire brake booster hood rhd dash.. steering column w/ switches and levers (turn signals etc...).. jdm floor mats etcetc.. will post prices and pics tomorrow.
Damn your in Raleigh? I live in Cary, when do you plan on swapping the motors out? Id be glad to lend a helping hand whenever you do it. Im in the middle of quite a transition myself, Ive yet to pull the motor but Im very mechanically inclined and the experience could be invaluable for me.
I didn't know people did this with their clips 
I didnt...
Learn somethin new everyday I suppose.

heh yeah people do..
1Tuff: I actually have completed the swap.. I had a personal friend who works at a shop who is in the drifting and installed a JDM motor in his 240 help me out. took 3 weekends of prepwork on the clip engine / tranny including extending the Engine Harness.. and 2 weekends to put her in and get her running right. w/ labor n all including a few aftermarket goodies and the cost of the clip it cost me $6400.. I guess I can refer you to him. shoot me a pm if your interested.

yeah.. I can't find them used anywhere.. I could only find them online new as replicas.. 350 a piece ouch...
Shouldn't be too hard to find if you keep an eye on the For Sale section of different Supra forums consistently. There's always someone wanting to upgrade.

ah, nah. Ive got a guy willing to swap everything over for me for 500 bux, which is one hell of a deal. Personally Id rather conquer the swap myself though so if anything goes wrong Ill have a better idea of how to find everything. Thanks for the offer though
Have you been to supraforums.com ?
once or twice.. but from looking at the standpoint of a non registered/not logged in user I wasn't impressed with the layout/organization of the forum. ok well if you need a hand finding parts.. I have a list of where you can get them and what you need .
