Save your money and return that knuckle. Just TimeSert the existing knuckle.

Odds are you'll strip the threads on the new one anyway if you remove the calipers even a few times.

Here is some more reading on the subject.

Great ride and can't wait to see more.
Thanks for the advice! Will do that next time for sure.

Just FYI, "creaminz" strikes again: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1995-Porsche...-/221862170551

The VIN isn't listed in the auction but according to the seller is WP0AA2993SS321326. Hopefully Google will pick up this thread in case any prospective buyers have the foresight to search for the VIN prior to separating themselves from a sizable chunk of cash in exchange for another polished turd.

Well the only positive is that it was a RWB build. Meaning they wouldn't let him do the build himself. But judging by his shady/criminal character the odds are high that he is hiding something. I'm sure if you pull a report it isn't even titled in his name. He put 8k miles on the GT3 I bought without ever titling it.
Hopefully no one else gets ripped off.

Well of course I get one of Creaminz nut huggers all over me now. I love the keyboard warrior. Does anyone know who this is?

So I had my buddy stop by the shop and take a quick pic of the GT3 since it is almost done. He took this pic.

One second he says that I am a bit@# because I got ripped off and had to spend extra money rebuilding half of the car that I didnt even plan on rebuilding. Then he says I "just changed the color". lol Make up your mind. Either I only changed the color of the car or I completely rebuilt it. Which one is it IG champ.

Well originally my plan was to just change the color, new wheel, some carbon and then do a 4.0 stroker build on it. But we are past that now.

Why are you sweating this? Stop taking the bait and instead take the high road here. I don't know you personally but you've demonstrated you're more of a pro during this rebuild. I'd recommend keeping that pro attitude when facing criticism with your work.

Very true. I deleted my response and his post shortly after.

It wasn't criticism of his work. It was refuting the fact he was scammed out of 5 figures, which is obviously a big deal. Regardless, this build goes to show you a car is way more than the sum of its parts.

As of recent my buddy got screwed by LTMW as well on his Gallardo. I saved all the pics of the damage they did,a lot which doesn't make any dam sense. Car went in mint 09 and came back with all kinds of stuff messed up. I will leave it at that since I'm suggesting he takes legal action.

I had showed him your original thread but he shipped them the car anyways. Totally regrets it now.
