Hey, has the dealership called you back since the last time we took our cars in for the 3rd gear crap. I still havent heard from them. Its been like two weeks already right?

well i actually gave him a call yesterday, did a trace on a couple parts that were missing.. a flange and a couple of bolts.. they're scheduled to ship out next week, the 20th and the dealership usually gets it next day. sucks that i have to call and be on their ass about it but i guess that's how it works.. you gotta be on their ass if you want things done right.

yeah. i think im going to do the same and give them a call. Its good to know that this dealership doesnt give us a hard time just because we have added aftermarket stuff. I just installed an exhaust about a week and a half ago.

mine isnt bad enough yet. Rarely grinds but does put up a fight in 3rd occasionally. Sounds like everybody is up to a whole lot of nothing these days

Its the stock camber kit. I couldnt get anything off the civic, besides I don't think much would be good on it.

Yeah that sucks big time. and you know what? that car will be fixed and sold again. I doubt you guys remember, but i did 15,000 dollars in damage to my SI but because it was so new and so few miles, it didnt get totaled. its plain crazy but that car is not dead. That is the main reason insurance doesnt let you take parts off when they total it out.

I guess you didnt see the pics, there is no way that car will ever be driven again. I dont think the motor is any good either.

I did. You'd be surprised. the body shop right next to my night job has tons of those cars you'd never think would drive again but he fixes them good as new and sells them off. crazy. I wouldnt trust them but they drive again.
