Finally finished the BlehmCo RSTB!
I replaced all my belts in June, so I'm ok there. And my next door neighbor has an impact wrench so I might just have to have him help me with it. I know there has got to be something else that you could lend a brother a hand with, but I just can't think of it right now. I'll have to email you my cell number incase you bet bored and I'm off work.
While I'm thinking here's a list of my projects that I need to start working on:
ground VTC"s, try to install my alarm and remote start (doesn't look to promising), find out whats wrong with my brakes and cv boots (I think), etc, etc...

Ok, I just got off the phone with Jackie Cooper and I told him the front main seal. He called it the Crank Seal and said that they didn't have the part instock, but that they could order it for me on Monday and that it cost $12.74. Is this the same part? Like I said, Mechanic in training....
WTF?!?!? It's $2.38 from courtesy!
here's the part number that Kaleb gave me: 13510-97E10
If your neighbor has an impact, I'm sure we can use it for a few seconds.
the rest of the stuff we can take care of too... but remember you're paying me by the hour!

it should be the same... I don't know why they would quote you so much, other than it's Jackie cooper. usually I deal w/ riverside when I'm in town. I don't feel bad telling them they're full of it, but when you're in yuppieville around jackie cooper, they tend to freak out when someone calls their bluff on a price.

I wonder if that's why he qouted me that, the retard didn't even ask if it was VE or VG.
that's cool, Paul. I should be back on friday the 2nd, or sat the 3rd... I don't know when you're heading back to campus, but if you want to crash again for a night, I'm cool with that...
Just let me know what you wanna do.

Oh, yeah. I know the quality of the work you do, you did an awesome job on the bushings last time. Well, I'll pm you my cell #, and we'll try to get together while your in town and we'll see what kind of damage we can do.

But of course that's one of those things that I don't see the need to go OE on
it's a $5 seal aftermarket anyways

What if the bar flew off and landed in your radiator or worse?

I've got a strap wrench I can use to hold the pulley in place with one arm while I break the bolt loose.. forgot about that guy.

yours I'm shipping UPS, and you should have the tracking number via email by the time you read this message. (if not, check your mail again) I declared it as a product sample valued at $60, so customs shouldn't be much- couple bucks if anything... I should have used my brain, because I've got to go by the post office monday for some others, and I should have just taken yours with me then. ahh well.
To everyone else
You should all have received tracking numbers and etc for your parts, except:
Dark Lord Bunny - Paint is drying on yours, so I'll pack and ship in the morning
BMan and Canada93GXE: Smelly Canucks. I'm taking yours by the Post Office on Monday.
Reygarcia and Max190, you guys were #26 and 27... I only had parts for 25 RSTBs, so I've ordered more and they should be here soon, BUT I'm going to be out of town until Jan 2 or 3.. I'll put them together and ship out ASAP after that. Sorry for the inconvenience, but I wasn't planning on this many people ordering!
Inside the boxes, you should have three pieces wrapped in paper, plus the bar itself. Each end bracket is wrapped separately, then the endlinks and hardware are wrapped in another one. MAKE SURE you got the hardware!!! I've got one set left over for some reason so if one of you don't get the hardware, let me know and I'll mail it out to you soon as I can.
I think that covers everything, and I'm considering the deal closed. If you guys want more stuff, you know where to find me! I'll be glad to do some small discounts on multiple purchases, but I don't think I'll do another group deal like this again.. just too much work involved!! Now I know why Cattman does GDs the way he does!
Thanks Everyone! Happy Holidays!
