I went through a site i saw advertised on HT. I only go on there for parts but I got mine first try. I know what you mean though I had the same problem with my HID's it took me 3 tries.

 

Hobo, I wouldn't necessarily skip on CC, or ebay for that matter. The first guy told me that the company was in process of moving and must have "missed" the e-mails/phones calls, the second ebay seller said his PC with inventory had some sort of glitch which screwed things up inventory-wise, so he was just getting everything back together, and tunersports just basically got caught with their pants down (they were just waiting on another shipment to arrive)

Lewy2k, link to site you saw on HT?

 

I use a guy based in Indianapolis. He used to live here in Louisville but moved up there and started a performance parts shop. He can get most anything at a good price. I have got half my car from him cheaper than anyone else I have got prices from. Tell him a guy from 502SS referred you to him and he might cut you a better deal. His name is Jorge. There is a number on there, he likes doing business over the phone too.

Edit: Forgot to mention most of what I have got off him wasn't listed on the site, so just ask him and he can usually get it.

 

^^ Well, he has the clutch in stock and on the site, but shipping is at least $45 for UPS Ground. Ouch.

 

I'd call him if I were you. Hes always willing to negotiate. He also will match other places if they are lower.

 

He will be my first call if this place I just ordered it from falls through. However, I am starting to have a good feeling as I actually have a tracking #(OMG!)

Made some foam-type fender liners last night in attempt to keep the engine bay from getting dirty with dirt, little rocks and anything else that makes it's way up in there through the fender liner-less wheel wells. I'll post a few pics tonight when I get home.

 

Before:


After:




I have had it installed on the passenger side for the past week, and everything has stayed clean!

Pic of the new cluster, yo!


Also, just got the exhaust gaskets in, but that isn't really exciting. haha

 

SI Cluster went in last night.

Got the o2 harness, donut gasket, clutch (woot!), and a box from hondapartsdeals.com with a whole **** load of little Honda bags (o rings, rear main seal, water pump etc) today.

 

That was some smart thinkin on ur part mann doin that foam thing haha its like my car doesnt ever want to be clean haha i clean my engine bay and then my radiator pops a hole in it somewhere and it sprays crap all over so had to get that cleaned up and now just the constant rain and dust in texas is keeping me from cleaning her and making her in even worse condition that before.

But currently my vc seems so seep oil me thinks from 3 bolts in the top along the spark plugs ??? Do u or anyone else kno why that is happening?

Here is a pic of my engine bay now:

You can see the like "stain" from the oil...that ever happen with you?

 

^ Each bolt has a little rubber grommet on them. Go to like Napa and buy a valve cover gasket set. Will come with a new valve cover gasket, spark plug seals, and bolt grommets. Only like $20 for it all.

I'm jealous of your Si cluster! I missed an awesome price for one for $80, took too long figuring out if I wanted it lol.
