damn... 5 months ago it was $1800... I'm scared if I don't act now it'll be 3k+ before too long.. Thanks for the info. :)

I guess the idea of saving isn't such a good idea if the price of the clips goes up faster than you can put money in the bank.

THE MORE POPULAR IT GETS THE HIGHER THE PRICE BECAUSE THEY ARE GOING OUT OF PRODUCTION, SOON.

Exactly why I got my rb20 now. Iwas going to wait until taxes, but I couldnt pass up 1200 when everyone else wants 2250. SoI got a loan

do you know how upsetting it is to go outside and just look at your s13....cant drive it just look. Besides, I hate waiting. I can pay off the loan with the money I would have used to get it later.

Head gasket fatality. Pissed me off because I changed the thermostat, radiator and coolant. It is a PAIN to change teh thermostat on my SOHC. I had to remove the radiator, fan shroud, etc. ending up taking 7 hours start to finish. So now I get in my wife's FWD Altima autotragic and go to work. I hate it.

Ironic thing is when I bought the car in Florida, the seller said it needed a coolant flush. I was on vacation and didnt wanna blow 100 bucks. So I drove 1000 miles to Texas. Stayed a week and a half, maybe drove 300 miles and then drove 1700 miles from TX to north dakota. No overhaeting. It would get hot if I drove with the A/C blowing for more than 2 hours. 3000 miles and when I get home, it wants to blow. Aint that a *****

I would recomend calling Venus. They aren't very responsive to emails. Even when they request that you email them, it took me sending three for them to finally get the pics they requested!
