it's definitely hard to say how much we got here with all of the wind blowing it around. I want to say we may have gotten somewhere between 8 and 10 inches.

my driveway can fit 4 cars comfortably, but my dad's daily and my car are the only ones that are out of the garage all year. we had covers on our cars but the wind blew them off overnight/this morning. mines wrapped around a tree in my front yard, im not trying to go out and get it though... i hope it doesnt blow away. there's still plenty of snow to get rid of. we'll probably use the snow-blower and a shovel.

my moms van is outside white the Retta sits in the garage snow free. there is prob less then a foot here, but the wind is whipping around pretty good. i wont be going out for a good bit to clear the driveway

I need to go food shopping, but i'm going to wait for my dad to get home, and use his Forester.

Kinda wish I didn't go to work. Just don't feel like doing anything.

I'm with you on that. I wish I just used a PTO day. My eyes are heavy and call volume isn't crazy. Wish I was still in Florida. My mustang is sitting in snow.

Man is it quiet in the office. So out of it today. Anybody know of anyone who's reputable to do gears and bearing for less than $150?

jpalamar · 12-27-2010, 03:03 PM

For the Mustang or Camaro?

Anyone have a recommendation on where to buy a few parts?

Im looking to buy a Mishimoto radiator. I know we've got a few of their rep's floatin around on here... Best ive found thus far is $220 shipped on ebay. Any place have them cheaper?

And is a rotor a rotor? Meaning- can I buy ebay rotors, or should I stick to pepboys or something. I can get drilled rotors on ebay for about $35 a peice for no names, versus about $45 a peice for blank no names (durastop or something) at pepboys. Should I invest in legitimate Brembo rotors, or get cheap rotors and use the leftover for quality pads?

I bought Stop Tech rotors/pads on eBay all arround for my GTO for like $225 shipped to my door. To be honest, they are just about as good as my DBA 4000XS/Hawk HSP setup was that cost me $750+. I have about 4000 miles on them and did many high speed stops. No issues. Hell, they have maybe 1/4 of the brake dust too. I've read good reviews on a few foroms about this brand as well. They customer service is awsome. Corvette forum guy tracked his car and warped. Posted about it and one of their reps joined up and replaced them no questions asked even though no parts are covered under racing use. Here is the link to the company I bought mine from and will buy from again for the GTO if needed and any car I buy in the future. Shipping was fast and they were well packaged too. http://stores.ebay.com/brakemotive

As far as radiator... is there any reason you need a high end one? I doubt you will gain anything from it VS going with an OEM replacement. I'm using a Silla in the GTO I feel no difference with the car. If anything, it feels like my car takes longer to warm up then it used to.

Thanks for the advice on the brakes. I was leaning towards an ebay setup anyway.

As far as the radiator, SR20's almost ALWAYS run hot. Typically any mod you can do to keep that engine cooler, the better off you are. Cooling mods are worth their weight in gold- and I dont plan to wait until I have a cooling problem before doing cooling mods. I have a stock SR radiator that I can use worst case scenario, but more than likely I wont even start the motor up with it.

I was just totalling up the remaining things I have to buy, and am trying to save money wherever possible.

Still need:

Wiring harness (plug and play) $375
A/C Brackets (codyace) $110
Oil filter relocation kit $120
Mishimoto ~$220
SS Turbo Lines $120
FMIC piping w/ greddy flange $200
Q45 rotors/pads $120ish

And $300 for a motor for the stupid goddamn Neon. fml

well, looks like my durango is the "family" car for now. my dads truck won't go into 4 wheel drive, and my moms civic can barely make it out of the driveway.

You need a GTO

Even with summer tires and barely plowed roads I was fine. Was really shocked I didn't get stuck because my laziness didn't put my winter wheels on.
