shows them @ 2.42/ea ~ but they do not accept payment from Canadian credit cards...

GMpartsdirect.ca (a crappy knock off) does show the part, but does not show a price...

I know that Tom @ Crate Engine Depot can kill any local prices...

The best I know of for local pricing is the parts department at Jack Carter.

Jordan,

That stinks man. I'd be pissed.

Tjay,

When do you need your stuff by? I make trips to the border every so often.

Also, got stage 2 mount in the cobalt finally (So lame to put in btw). Love it, any reminisce of wheel hop I had is gone (Although with how Race city was, that would be the acid test hahah).

I actually agree with this haha. It's a great price for a TVS cobalt w/meth and everything. But it's blue... .

Stage 2 mount was lame. My engine did NOT want to go where it needed to for it to line up since the mounts rotate the engine until I finally figured out an easy way. Needed more brains than brawn in this case hahaha.

Does yours still hop after stage 2 mounts?

For me, loosening the rest of the bolts holding the engine in place.

AFAIK. I still want an LNF. I actually looked at other options besides a balt.... I came back around though . I checked out the possibility of 350z, WRX, Talon, Eclipse, Lancer etc. For the price point I find I can't beat one.

I would buy any one of those cars. Specific models and years but I'd still get one. If i wouldn't have bought my truck I would have imported a supra or something like that

Crazy lightning in Lethbridge last year or the year before, can't remember which. It was absolutely insane... like 45 minutes of constant, intense flashes.
