A long time. As long as I've been rebuilding my car since The Bonk. See, after I decided to rebuild Sharka, I started looking around for a new set of wheels. That was last November.

I went over to Boulevard Automotive (2nd and Candelaria) and had Keith work his magic. $100 and some change and I went from basket case handling to smooth and precise. Well worth it. ]]> http://revlimiter.net/blog/2009/07/alignment-time/feed/ 2 http://revlimiter.net/blog/2009/03/tein-rebuild-part-3/ http://revlimiter.net/blog/2009/03/tein-rebuild-part-3/#comments Wed, 25 Mar 2009 03:14:46 +0000 revlimiter http://revlimiter.net/blog/?p=114 Here we are! The final part of the TEIN rebuild tale. Part 1 and part 2 can be seen on their respective links. The UPS tracking showed that I’d come home to find my TEINs waiting for me tonight. It was not wrong. There was a happy box on my doorstep with a familiar logo.

That’s a good $15 cheaper than their low estimate and shipping with paypal was $1 more than their high estimate. I’m happy with that.

A long weekend. Loonnnnnnng….. Half of Saturday and all of Sunday. And it was good. And I didn’t lose any fingers or toes. I started with the rollbar.
