Hello all, been out of the loop being deployed again and all, so here is the skinny, I will be purchasing the BHR radiator, OEM reservior, O2 solenoid, BHR Coils, new plugs and wires, new driver side tail light, new fog light, and maybe the temp control module. I need help installing all this stuff. I went to the stealership and they want to take the arm and leg to install it all. Long story short, while I was gone my moms caregiver was driving my car and didnt take care of it, left my mom with no working car, stole money from her and it forced me to have to come back from Afghanistan early. So as soon as I get all the parts could someone help me do the work? Also was wondering what happened to the "Fluid Motorsports Hymee SC system? They are not even listed in the vendor section. Again I have been way out of the loop. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Even though I am back short from a deployment and back to way more crap then when I left. Its sooooo good to be back

I just love the paint editor, except for the time it takes.

Jordan, check the DIY section for help on the "how to's".....and then I would also suggest posting a request for help in the OC lounge thread.

With the offense back to its strong ways, who cares about defense, right

Stock pulleys are back on. The pulley on the alternator was seized. I finally got it off, but it's definitely not going on any other car. It's destroyed. After I removed the pulley from the alternator, I took the alternator to get tested. Tested fine, but FYI - Autozone has a replacement alternator made by Mitsubishi that cost $150.
Bought a new battery. Put on new belts. Refilled the missing coolant. Drove around last night, seemed to be fine. Drove to work this morning monitoring the temps w/ the Accessport, and everything seemed fine.

Now I have 2 Unorthodox pulleys to sell. I'll have to knock a bunch off for the missing pulley.

doubt you'll be able to find a buyer for an incomplete pulley set...you may want to take the time to see if Unorthodox even sells replacement parts individually and get the price for replacement of that single pulley...than, either discount that on the price of what you are selling, or purchase the part ahead of time and just know that will cut into any profit made on the sale.

It was too bad we didn't have an impact gun, that may have made it easier to take off.

The bolt came off no problem. That wasn't the issue. The actual pulley that slides on was seized.

It just so happens that Unorthodox sells the alternator pulley alone. The alternator pulley is stock size. It's only lighter.
So there is a possibility someone will buy the 2 other pulleys since they are the actual undrive pulleys, and they are also lighter.
On their site the set of three is $381 and the alternator pulley alone is $87.

I'm sure the weight savings on the alternator pulley is probably about 1oz max. Not really worth $87.

Should have stopped by my place, my neighbor has all that stuff along with a huge compressor (he lets me borrow) not too mention it would have gotten me to do my plugs which are not put off until next weekend , which is already packed.

Tennis tonight right Keith!?

Glad to hear it is fixed Cesar.

Correction -
I just checked and according to Unorthodox;
OEM Pulley = .40lbs
Their Pulley = .10lbs
So the weight savings is .30lbs or 4.6oz.

Free Cars

all the free cars will be sent out next week..and for VIP members, the first pack of free stuff is coming our way as well.

Free Cars for VIP Members: We have identified our first couple exclusive VIP cars that we'll be sending out to VIP members just because we like them. The cars will be an exclusive for VIP members and will not be released on the Auction House or Storefront and they will be locked. We'll hopefully have these cars out next week as well. Lots of cars for everyone!
The Nightmare Audi R8 4.2 FSI (E3 Edition). Painted by Phredesign, this car was featured in our first E3 reveal CG trailer and it comes loaded with a top-notch tune by the boys over at Gearbox.
The fictional Mazda Speedway Laguna Seca Safety Car. Painted by Forza maestro Jube3, this little rotary beast comes with an original Laguna Seca safety car livery and features an exclusive setup by AG Tuning.
That about wraps up our launch week here at Turn 10. Have fun playing the game, and we'll see you in the matchmaking hoppers!
