Strike while the iron is hot...
also, thanks for confirming what I figured you were implying about checking out and offering to ship to me...I tremendously appreciate that you'd even offer that, Joe.

Yeah, I figured if he was a derp and didn't respond or told me "no, boxes are hard, no shi(tt)pping" then I'd maybe call in the cavalry...luckily he was very similar to me in the sense that I'm never lazy to close a deal.

Thanks again.

I wouldn't wipe my ass with a Hayne's manual.. might leave more shit than it takes away.

Helm's is probably the legit publisher or at least closer to the real spec.. All I could find was the reggo CTS manual and it was $250

I bought the legit Helms manuals for my TSX and they have been worth their weight in gold for help with things. $375 though is crazy. I think I paid half that for both the service and electrical manual new but that was only 2 books. I would love to get the full set for the Wagon.

Mostly assholes who have their cars serviced at the dealer are in these rides.
The real gear heads who own them don't post a lot of tech or low on the details.
There's some info on the forums, but there's a lot of bs being passed around.
Youtube is pretty much non-existent.. all videos are dedicated to look what my builder did..
For general tech.. LSx work is proliferated, I pretty much take a baseline from a similar platform
But I want the real deal specs.
Calling PayPal

cracked front trim and knocked the splash guard loose under the car.

Great picture of Zee.

Damn those wheels even look better in that picture you took. You should jump in on the group buy preorder fro the front carbon v2 lip from WeaponX. It is $150 off the eventual price and free shipping for right now for the first 20 people.
