[gator gt]

fibuz...you beat me. 2 speeds....thats interesting. Whats that....like a schitzo-CVT?

Looking good though. I see you've done most of the fun stuff already...leaving the PITA stuff for later. Probably how I would have done it too.

So wiring will start tonight.

We are still looking for a set of WRX power steering lines.

Contact Frank DiMercurio at 586.615.7455 He dismantles WRXs and STis. I just got a set of power steering lines from him for $45 shipped. All in all, good condition.

He could supply you with other missing pieces as well.

Is that phone number for a company?

[Reason]

Disturbed beast, are you a rich boy? Or must been saving for a while now. That's a lot of paper you dropped on this swap. Keep it up though, send me spare parts :wink:

[gator gt]

Thats his cell phone. He's told me he wants the word to get out that he parts out WRXs and STis. So, heres the word. I got my WRX power steering lines from him.

I think he's a one man show at his yard/shop...so it seems like he takes his sweet ass time....but he was also planning/about to go on his wedding/honeymoon when I ordered from him....plus I was impatient and don't like waiting for such simple items after payment has cleared.

He does like to sell things in packages, such as pedal box with corresponding hydraulic clutch setup.....or full wiring for swap.....or tranny with crossmember and rear diff.....you get the point. He doesn't like selling individual pieces if he can put the item in an associative group of items to sell.
