Im parting out my dc5 still and i sold a little over a grand in parts to a local kid. I let him pay me $300 upfront and give me the remaining money the 15th of this month. No problems there. I gave the kid some crazy good deals on my parts since he bought a lot.
One of the parts was my hotchkis rear sway bar. I told him I needed his stock sway bar in return as i dont have my stock one still. He now tries telling me that i never told him that and he has lost the stock one. He tries tellin me to just buy a stock one and they run $113 from the dealer, F that!!! He owes me one, its not my problem his dumb *** lost it.
I hate people being stupid like that. Ungrateful bastard.

On the leaking oil front, everyone I know personally who has installed ARP headstuds using the "one-at-a-time" method has oil leaking down the back of their block - everyone.
Mine has been doing it for over two years now. Not enough to make a drop on the ground, but enough to coat the back of the block.
I'm finally going to pull the head and fix things correctly. I'm going to put in new valve springs, and stroke the bottom end while I'm at it. My car has 85K miles on it now and I'm going to be pulling in all the parts for the motor build so that I'm ready for the full deal around 100K miles.
