Jarco = great company! My swap's not done yet so I have no idea if EVERYTHING is in working order, but the engine does crank and has started up. I got my clip sent to me within 2 days of ordering it. Very kind, very professional and very fast!

yo coomer.
If i were you, i would be praying that they finish on Monday. You dont pay them, you have extra money to upgrade, and you get your car back. But I would honestly want to pay them anyways, specially if it runs like a dream. I mean, they work hard to get your car done and a good mechanic is hard to find sometimes. That's why i prefer doing all my mechanic work. Good luck bro |

I do still have my stock tach, but I'm trying to find a JDM one.
I talked to my mechanic today, and he said that he needs a couple parts from the 7A-FE at my house, and he's pretty sure that the car will be done Sunday! I'm so excited!

So, in theory, the car should be done for free. But because he realizes it, he told you it was your fault so as to not have himself accoutable. Is that about right?

anctious = anxious. Just figured I'd let ya know.
I guess this thread supports the thing I've been hearing the most about the swap: have everything ready before you start.

Sigh...I'm so discouraged right now...I got home and looked at my car, and the engine is in, but we're having major troubles trying to get the power steering to work.
 The cable thingy with the metal loop on the end that is supposed to reach the pump isn't even close to reaching, due to the mounting location of the pump on the other side of the engine. I don't want my car to not have power steering, so I don't know what to do.I wish now that I wouldn't have done the swap, as it's just pissing me off. For five weeks straight, my mechanic has told me "One more week.", and every week, it's not done, and I don't think it'll be done this weekend. Once it's done, if it's done, it'll probably be too late to have it up at school, because the mountain pass I have to go over will have tons of snow on it really soon. So I probably won't have a car for at least a few months. On top of that, Storm Performance has been impossible to deal with. Now they're saying that I had to pay extra for my ECU and AFM, and that's the reason for the COD charge. Also, they said something about me having to pay another $60 for the axles. I'm thinking that I'm going to need to talk to one of the lawyers I know and write up a threatening letter to them, demanding my parts and my money back. Tonight has just not been my night. I also found out that the order for my gauge was cancelled because it isn't in stock, despite the fact that the day I ordered it, it was in stock.  I wish I would've left my engine stock, as right now it seems like it's never going to be done. My car is my life, and not having it for more than half of a year isn't sounding too appealing to me.

So if u ever need anything, be sure to let us know. And good luck with the car, everything will pull thru and now u will have some speed to back up those hot looks.

Well, I'm feeling better now, but my car still isn't done. I haven't been able to talk to my mechanic since Friday, but I talked to his guy who works there, and my car isn't done, so it should be free. I'll call tomorrow and find out what's up, and I figured out what to do about the power steering, so I'll tell him what he needs to do to get that to work, and hopefully my car can be done this week.
