Thanks man. Depending on what they want to ship 4 bolts I may use them.

Site bookmarked!

EDIT: They want $12 for shipping, F that. I'll see if the hardware store has the bolt, jeesh.

EDIT 2: Picking them up from Tousley, $.55 each with $5 shipping.

Yeah, Tousley is excellent. Picked up most of the odds n' ends for my transmission and rear diff swap from them.

Their site and prices are great, but their live chat is worse than useless, and whoever I spoke with over the phone was just lazy.

I said I need the TB bolts for a GT500 and the response was "I don't know"

Grrrr

I think Amazon is about the only company I've used where the web chat staff weren't all complete droolers. Most of the time for parts calling is better. Tousely will still give the internet pricing on phone orders.

Nice progress so far. What are you planning on doing for a tune?

I'll have Pete tune it.

Worst case scenario (Note: Not that Justin can't tune, because he is one of the best 3v tuners in the nation, but his shop is much further away than Pete) is JPC

Who's Pete? Does he have a performance shop nearby?

I have my own tune in my car right now but I think I might take it somewhere once I do my drivetrain next year. Auto transmission tuning is way over my head and I don't feel like destroying a $4k investment

Picked up a 2011 GT500 H/E for $125.

Posted in a forsale thread where the guy wanted 150 + shipping. Got a PM from somebody else saying he'll let his go for $125 shipped.

Awesome.

OP updated.
