| I never imagined it would be this much work to part a vehicle out. I would have to say that from my experience so far, doing the work on the car is easier than dealing with idiotic low-ball offers or trolls. 75% of the emails I get are requests for oddball parts at lowball prices. Half of the time, I remove the part, take a picture, only to be told "I'm broke, I'll get back to you when I have the cash." Is it just me, or do you not even respond to a classified post unless you are willing and able to do business at that point in time? Second worst part about this whole process is finding boxes and packaging the parts up (seriously). Have you ever tried to find a suitable box to ship mufflers in? Swaybars? The people at Ross must think I'm recently homeless since I'm always behind the store at the loading dock rifling through the piles of broken down boxes. The part about this that makes me want to cry is that half of the parts I am pulling off are nearly-new. I actually had a box of parts unopened from the dealership here in town, and he had pity on me and returned them after 8 months (BIG thanks, Jeremy). Sorry for the rant, this process has been time consuming and incredibly frustrating. I would probably call the whole thing off if it weren't for people like Tony (BigTDogg). We communicated pricing, he was patient and paid promptly, I shipped his goods to him the same day I received payment. I guess not everyone that looks for parts on here is a total f-tard. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Bring your car to Stage IV and leave it the hell alone! It's absolute lunacy trying to turn a 15 year old Japanese sports car into a 500RWHP track/drag car. I can understand how Greg pulls it off, he has the shop, the money, the labor, etc. For your average Joe, Stage IV is more than enough power and does not compromise reliability. /Rant off. Back to the grindstone..
