Does anybody actually do that?

You may be stuck just buying the parts seperately for the things you need. Unless you can find a donor car that had been stripped of everything save engine and tranny and ecu.

Give Gruppe-S a call. Their website never shows all of their inventory, and they get complete drivetrains all the time. You can also try RaceComp Engineering, Chaste Automotive, and Kingpin Motorsports.

Motors

fineline has some decent prices keep the links coming we are getting a wide spectrum of motor wholesalers, I don't wanna commit to a motor and find a better price the next day. I still think that V.7 STI for $4500 is a damn good deal, ccan Gruppe match that?

Gruppe-s's real prices are sometimes cheaper than their online prices. They are a very good group of guys to do business with, very reliable.
