Hopefully tomorrow I can/will put some time in, I'm planning on helping out a local tomorrow.

Word is i get friday off of work, if thats the case then I plan on pulling a 9-5 deal on my car to get it done for saturday assuming I have everything I need by then Jacks said will get the diff sent out tuesday but I don't think it will get here in time.

Got my TCU back from the link guys, easily the best non-local service ever.

I received constant email updates from them, when they received it, were inspecting, wanted payment and when they shipped it back.

Jack's however has been the opposite, I can't get anyone on the phone, my emails are answered well whenever they feel like I guess. They have had my Diff. since last tuesday it was supposed to be back in my hands by now so that I can put the car together tomorrow night, but well who knows at this point.
Apparently if you aren't spending $1k+ with them then you don't really matter even if your service doesn't take that long.

I'm gonna keep the 3-bolt in the car for a while longer, tomorrow night I'll be putting my old stereo back in, TCU back in teh car and a bunch of other random stuff to get the car running, who knows maybe a sweet center diff. will show up.

Anyone/everyone is welcome to stop by, you don't have to help you can just drink/eat and laugh at me while I work.
I'll have the heat on.

I'd like to make the BIR street drags on teh 4th.

Sucks about Jack's. I had the same poor communication issue with them. Dogbox on the other hand, they were great and will be the first guys I call if I ever need tranny work done again.

If I wasn't out of town, I'd be there giving you a hand.

So I called Jacks and left a message earlier, they emailed me back and said "sadly it shipped out today, you should automatically get a tracking number"

Even that response is shit, no sorry and no effort to do work and copy and paste the tracking number into the message.

I just hope their work is something to have no complaints about.

This means time to enjoy my friday night in a diff. way.

:wank:


That sucks that they've kinda put you on the back burner. I hope this was just a one time fluke in customer service. At least it's on the way?

yeah its on the way, but FedEx didn't show an expected delivery.

I'll probably throw on the heater and work slowly tonight until something else comes up.

Ok, FedEx showed today that it will be here on wed. hopefully i get home and the weather is good that day to finish up the car.

I'm going to spend today outside since I haven't the last few times, its actually warm enough for me to go out there now.

Now I have to decide on a wideband, I thought I narrowed it down to the NGK, but the display is big and bulky and in the way of everything. It will also go against the stock looking interior I have.

I'm starting to think I should just use the AEM since that is what everyone seems to be having success with and even a lot of shop cars use them: MAP, Bushnuts, other cars I can't think of right now.

If anyone else isn't doing easter stuff today you are more than welcome to stop by.

I promise pics on teh next update, i know it sucks reading this crap.

How about that cheap wideband setup I got from MAP that looks similar to the Pro Sport gauges?
