your car is still dead though.

 

^true

any update on your dealership today?

 

Mines still running strong. Its my kind of girl...pull its hair and it wants some more.

 

For the engine swaps and testing before hand, I paid nothing. It was all free, they even swapped my spark plugs for free on my first engine (was under 5 years at that point). I don't know the story with those fuel lines, so I'm sure mine are still the origanals. I did have to pay to replace my clutch (parts only, not labor) which was obliterated by the first reman, by no fault of my own! So the clutch was the only cost to me for all the useless testing and both remans.

I hope this one lasts forever though!

 

yeah i talked to them and they said its in the air and theyre working on it. should be done tomorrow

 

I forgot about you...all you post about is putting Dick's in your mouth....I don't associate with people like tha

 

^ did you pay anything for your reman install?

 

wow that is fast...

 

yep. my paperwork said 'waiter' on it too so they do take care of people waiting in the shop faster. or maybe just the ones buggin them. driving their mazda 3 probably speeds them up too. i told them i'll be out of town sun-fri so if they want their car back they have to finish mine before then.

 

You still have warranty? I was told no loaner will be provided.

 

they told me i'd get one when they agreed that the motor needed replacing

 

Maybe I will get a car once they make the decision to swap the motor. I hope to know by next Thursday.

 

I only paid for a new clutch...only to find out that it still had a good chunk of life left in it. It was 600 with no charge for labor. No rental.

 

Pdx any word on Vegas I am guessing no but

 

Vegas is looking less likely

 

dude you'll need to break in your new motor like me.

 

Yep. If I get a new motor and everything is good then I will feel comfortable. But my biggest concern is time off from work. Especially with the new position. Next week I will have a much better idea though which was my plan from the beginning. We still good on sharing a room?

 

I tried to get a loaner car, but they wouldn't do it for me. I would of had to pay them to rent it.
Which made dropping my car off and picking it up a real PITA for me!

Also most of the waiting time for my replacement (once they finally decided to replace it) was for the engine to be shipped to them ~1 week each time. The engine swap itself was as quick as a day and a half on my second reman. And 3 days on the first one, they kept calling me and pushing their ETA back more, they were too busy or something.

 

yeah i have one booked so you're welcome to join when you decide to come.

 

Has anyone seen a blue 8 with eyelids and ms kit?? I am debating trading the gt kit for a ms kit but I can't seem to come across a picture

 

motor swap is done.

i got the call at 1pm today so i'm back!!

total cost = $48 bucks for the fuel line after tax.

 

Let us know how it's running!

 

 

Glad to hear everything worked out for you Dondo. Nice work.

 

Whoa that was fast!
