Shipping is 30 bucks so 230 shipped. They use to be 265 shipped. Price has come down a bit. I would get the black one since its powder coated.

I don't think so Stu ^^ - I didn't/don't know him at all, but i heard all kinds of chitter chatter from you guys when i posted pics for the first time in the dfw members pic thread - I only know of him at all because the event sticker was on my car from an event in Vegas he drove the car at before i bought it, and naturally i researched the information and it looked like he went out of business and lost his car etc, country song in reverse - sounded like a hard time - I think he was going to buy my car from the original owner but due to circumstances couldn't -

Any ideas on what that hose in front of the engine bay is on these motors? like a bypass coolant hose?

The hose running across the timing cover is for maintenance purposes from what I have been told. I deleted it and all other coolant lines that aren't needed

Thanks Skrilla - The term for the hose leaves no clue to me as to what its for, and i see that the "hose" kits seem to keep it around and i'm like you R1, fckng delete it if you don't need it - i haven't bought my flux capacitor yet - it can't go there -

No it runs from the upper to the lower - like a pressure equalization line -

I'm definitely getting some before and after shots of my brakes, I just ordered some powerslots with hawk pads. That with the new twin piston calipers should feel like night and day for me. Now I gotta source some stainless steel lines

I searched a bit - looked kinda tough to determine from what i read -

I think measuring with some cord or tape and buying 3 belts around that measured size would work then take back the other two that don't fit -

Josiah I just got some Stoptech stainless braided lines from Jeremiah at MVP for $125 front and rear. Best deal I could find. I paid/ordered on a Wednesday and he had them the following Monday.
