Re: Group Purchase AC Compressor & Clutch
Jeff,
I have not heard back from the vendor and quite honestly I've been busy traveling and then sending out books and fuel filters. It takes some time to do these things, communication flows through Instant messages, threads, email and paypal and usps snail mail and money order. Checking payments are correct and I have every bodies correct contact information and mail to address as many people sometimes don't provide that info. Also, ensuring everybody gets what they ordered and there are no screw ups. I understand it's been a month or two that the compressors were mentioned. My intention is to still do them. Keep in mind it's not a cheap order for a member and I want to make sure everything is kosher. I don't want anybody upset at me because they had to wire a new connector or their serpentine belt got chewed up because of the wrong clutch etc. More then likely I will delve further into the issue this week. I understand you need one now. I may or may not be able to assist right away. Therefore, if you are in need now, it might be best if you source one. There is a member on my facebook zr-1 site who claims to have purchased car buffs parts. You might want to see if he has the compressor. http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gi...9446130&ref=ts Also some other sources: http://www.zr-1parts.com http://www.jerrysgaskets.com Dynomite has a big list of sources for parts. Thanks for your interest, I plan to do other things when time allows. Last edited by xlr8nflorida; 10-16-2010 at 12:32 PM. |

Here is another good option: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...EWNX%3AIT#shId If you don't already have BillMeLater then you can get this for $201 shipped to your door. BillMeLater offers first time and one time 20% off the item including the shipping. I had to pay $211 since I am in Hawaii and shipping is $30. The other good thing is the owner of Jensen Auto understands that we sometimes don't need this item immediately. As long as he is in business he will activate the warranty once you install and all you have to do is call him or email even if years from now. The item is top quality and a brand new compressor with rebuilt clutch. He only has 4 of these left so I would jump on it if you can use the BillMeLater first time user discount for 20% off as I did. I ran this by Jim first since I wanted in on his group buy too but did not want to miss out on this Ebay with 20% off to my door including the shipping. Billmelater discounted the entire purchase.

Re: Group Purchase AC Compressor & Clutch
xlr8n,
Thanks for the info, I contacted Gary on Facebook about the parts he bought from Carbuff on CF. Waiting for a cost from him.. Thanks for trying to get this together, I understand it is tough.. Thanks for your efforts Craig, Thanks I saw that on eBay too, Billmelater has only $5 that purchase.. still a good buy. I am kicking myself for not buying the compressor from carbuff on CF, but did not have the funds right then.. I have another lead to one as well, I might snag, I know my clutch works but unsure if the compressor in my car fully functions.. but I know it does work. thanks for the help

Re: Group Purchase AC Compressor & Clutch
Good deal. Some lurkers snatched a few up today since the post and there is only 1 left now. One person even bought 2 of them.
