well i guess that shuts me out for the surface rust option... if i had known that before lol i coulda gotten it squared away.. but anyway thanks for that info i had no idea..

i searched that name that jeremy gave me in the ebay stores and it found one but had nothing for sale.. foreign car parts online is that store name and i acutally just saw that i had that written down so thanks for that! appreciate the help guys.. cant beat this forum.. it might not get all the traffic that vortex or zine get but its the members that make it better.. ive been a member at here and vortex for the same time but ive never really felt at home there.. love the AF

 

ya i have all the original booklets with my car i believe it covers that for 11 or 12 years.
id give you all the information i have but i conveniently left my manuals up in my car garage 3 1/2 hours north of where i live, when i did my timing belt.

 

well i have all my original manuals with my car as well.. owners and stereo.. ill look through it when i get outta work.. is there a special place its located in there?

 

just bought my CA kit from FCP on ebay.. looked at it earlier today and it was 250.. went back this afternoon and it was 200 with free shipping.. cant beat that.. also while im on the subject of ordering stuff.. i had to replace my drivers side lower front molding as you can see in my sig.. bought a new one didnt come with clips, and i saw ECS sells them 96cents a piece.. awesome.. oh yea, but 15 bucks for shipping on 6 or 7 clips???? come onnnnnnn.. buy an envelope and stamp.. thats terrible

 

ALWAYS group your small stuff with your big stuff, and wait until you need several things from ECSTuning, otherwise you get raped on shipping with them.

 

jesus i guess so.. i just couldnt comprehend.. anything ive gotten from them before was always somewhat big so ive never noticed on anything small before.. maybe ill wait for when i order the brakes.. guess ill buy those sooner than i planned haha

 

Their shipping isn't that bad, it just depends on what part of the country you live in since they are based in Ohio.

Typically their 2 Day UPS always seems to be the best price around IMO. Of course, for some reason, they have a deal on it, so you are pretty much forced to chose two day air because usually ground is always more expensive.

 

yea I just don't get why little plastic clips you can ship in an envelope would cost 15 bucks.. when I could ship the same thing for like 2 dollars.. doesn't make much sense

 

I had the same experience - a few years ago I ordered my A8 brakes, two new lowers, and several other things, and I've ordered a few timing kits, so same deal with me. I went to order a couple small things, maybe $20 worth, and it was gonna be $18 or so shipping. Screw that, not for little stuff.

 

yea man thats bogus.. guess the next thing will order is brakes, pads and clips for that molding.. then clutch time.. as much as id love to think ill do a turbo upgrade im just gunna wait to get an S4.. thatll be my jump in power.. then JHM is getting alot of my money.. that place is doing some awesome work for the s4's.. dont think id consider buying parts from anywhere else for it
