Looks like a fun little toy. New wheels/tires, a few rally visual mods, yeah...

Sounds like exactly what happened to me about a month ago. New 8.5" booster $110 at Oreilly's solved the problem. I dumped quite a bit of nasty old brake fluid out of the old booster when I took it off. That could have been the problem

Been a couple months, updates on puller availability? I've got a guy with a hydraulic press, but I'm nervous to use it.

That's awesomely simple Finally! http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=886868

Noice! Now get to wetsanding

Yeeeeaaaah! Totally didn't think it was going to work. http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=874596 Anyone gotten tube yet?

Simplicity at its finest http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=874048

Isn't this like your third thread to this effect? Just bump your old ones or something. I talked to Phyxius and he doesn't make them anymore. Pretty sure he was the only one that ever made replacement clutches.

http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=866473 I skipped down under, tired of messing with it. This one took awhile too, heh.

Pretty sure they're not interchangeable, the shaft sizes are different. I bought a 240sx hub off ebay and it didn't fit my 260z. 80% sure all S30 and S130 cars share the same size steering shaft.

lol... he makes them

I stopped at down under. Just crazyness

Mission to mars was great. Had a chain of them rotating around the center, with a wedge to throw the ball.

I'm stuck on Big Ball, lol EDIT: Now stuck on four balls, haha EDIT 2: Down under is just stupid. I quit, lol

Thanks. Thanks alot

Heh, maybe when the sun decides to grace that part of the country. Already told ya, but again, looks awesome!

Nah, not wrong. (I wasn't trying to single you out on this btw. Our transaction just reminded me of my roomate complaining about this topic the other night) I guess it does boil down to a decision on how to do business. I suppose I've gotten so used to mindlessly using paypal as a buyer on ebay that the recent selling i've done and the trends on forums have opened my eyes to the process enough for me to start questioning it. That and recent big-ticket items factoring in more on the %.

The difference is in the negotiation. It's hard to argue over the piddly 3%, though it does add up. If it's included in the price, the seller and buyer get a better feel of exactly what they're getting for the product while negotiating. The credit card is a good example, and I'm sure that's why some people use paypal. I however use paypal b/c it takes it directly out of my bank. It just makes it quick for the buyer AND seller. Maybe I'm wrong here. Maybe I should start charging the fee on top of stuff I sell, and offer money order as an option. I started this thread to get other's feelings on this issue. Like I said, paypal made it so the seller gets the fee for a reason.

I'm not talking about screwing people over here... Several of you are getting the point. I didn't specify in the original post, but i'm not referring to Ebay transactions. Ebay policies agree with me, but here I'm referring to casual forum interactions. I see people posting a price, then saying "add 3% paypal fee". It just kinda burns me, like the ol' $19.95 thing... it's $20. The other problem is when it isn't mentioned till AFTER a price has been agreed upon. If the seller was worried about the 3% they should have asked for it in the original price, not sneak it in after. I'm frequently a buyer and a seller, so I do have a fairly unbiased perspective. I consider the 3% fee a cost of business, and well worth the quick payment and security. Paypal is SO widely used now, that people are trying to take advantage it IMO. As a seller, you're an odd man out if you DON'T take paypal. I usually don't argue over it, but it hurts when buying something VERY expensive. If nothing else, why not split the fee? Like I said though, I think it's the seller's responsibility to pick it up.

Something I've noticed recently is the tendency for sellers to quote a price, then ask for the paypal fee to be included when paying. What kind of BS is that? You don't sell something on ebay, then go back after the auction is over and ask the buyer to pay for the $2 insertion fee, do you? Stores don't ring you up, then ask you to pay the credit card fee on top of your total, do they? If paypal intended buyers to pay the fee, they'd have it set up that way. If you're a buyer and don't like the fee, take it into account when setting an asking price. Don't be greedy and ask for the 3% on top of an already agreed price. Paypal is a convenience. The seller gets his money fast so he can ship fast, and has a bit of insurance and mediation in case something goes wrong. Why should the buyer be the one to pay the fee for this convenience? Hopefully this trend doesn't become a commonplace expectation here like it has on many of my other forums.

Hehe... insider secrets... So are you painting the flares the same as the car, or another color?

Beautiful! The color couldn't be better.

Looks pretty sweet. You going to fiberglass it in or leave it as is? EDIT: N/m, dumb question, you already painted it

I want that right hand one to take a spot in the triple cluster, that's great!

Uh... yeah don't do that please. Lambo doors belong only on modern sports cars, not classic cars IEHO (in everyone here's opinion). Suicide, maybe... but no.
