I will have it for about 1-2 weeks... Until my title comes in from my bank.... But you know how that goes.... They always take a little while -

Brendan, I knew it was severe, but I assumed it was only the rear diff, which I ordered from Alex - and of course bearings and all that good stuff- when then opened it up on Monday that's when I was notified of the extra damage- fortunately there was a compassionate i-clubber who lended me a hand... If it wasn't for him the job would have taken more than a week. Chucky, meet up with me sometime-
Let me publicly say this-
Pflueger will RAPE you on their mark-up... On parts. Ryan called for "shop pricing" and basically they quoted him 600 bucks for something that "retails" to normal consumers like us for around 300 bucks.
Needless to say, I will get the parts needed back to the "donor" - from a mainland dealership... Much cheaper than pflueger....
Much mahalos goes out to Ryan and the "donor" for reducing the time my car had to sit at Vakamon.

Sucks
I get my parts from Subiegal.
Yeah guys, If you need Subaru stuff, don't buy local. Here's another one: Single rear axle for Sti: Over $900! The people in parts are super nice though, just too bad the mark up is so much.
