More power to you if you have time to do stuff for free. I have no interest in using my limited spare time to box and ship parts for zero return.

I already did it once, but that was a unique situation, I sent the Tein door panels to someone who paid for shipping. But to waste my time and someone else's money to ship used (questionable condition) expendable parts, that is just stupid.

However, if someone local wanted the parts - or to be the "good guy" and pick them up and ship them to another party - maybe we could work something out.

i am by no means an expert or professional in racing, but it is a hobby that i have huge passion for. I wouldn't have gotten anywhere without a lot of FREE help from good people, and when i get the occasional chance to give back and help someone out, i try to do it. So comments like that get under my skin. If you don't have time, i totally understand, but i think you can decline to help with a little more courtesy.

On the other side of he coin, I have been at this for a long time and have seen people benefit from my (and others) generosity. Example, helped a guy out with a set of usable tires we no longer needed, he sold them instead of using them as intended. So excuse me if I don't rush off to give away parts. As far as more courtesy, I guess you are entitled to your opinion.

people will always dick other people over, that is part of life. I know that, everyone knows that so you aren't onto anything new there. But in my life, i would rather give someone the benefit of the doubt until they prove that they deserve otherwise. And that apparently, is the difference in opinion so there is no point in going on any further on the subject.

UPS just dropped off the new clutch, pressure plate and flywheel. This is going to have to wait a few weeks to get installed.
