what is the Alpha team?

In English the noun alpha is used as a synonym for "beginning", or "first" (in a series), reflecting its Greek roots

A team comprises a group of people or animals linked in a common purpose.

A group in itself does not necessarily constitute a team. Teams normally have members with complementary skills and generate synergy through a coordinated effort which allows each member to maximize his/her strengths and minimize his/her weaknesses. Team members need to learn how to help one another, help other team members realize their true potential, and create an environment that allows everyone to go beyond their limitations.

Got the rest of the parts I need to finish up the bottom end of the 2.7i...

Would usually go through the dealership for the seals but the price difference is CRAZY. Being that its my budget track car I'm just gonna run them. Kinda want to do OEM rear main because I don't feel like removing the trans to do the same job twice... thought? Am I being paranoid?



New pan gasket is already at home. :thumbup:

parts

I buy my parts from rockauto.com and autohausaz.com
If you dont mind waiting a coule of days, thier prices are great as well as the customer service. And so far so good as far as quality. No complaints.

rockauto is alright, used to order from them alot, but the selection has been getting worse. Also there customer service is probably the worst next to pelican.

Blunttech is all i use now, i hate the wait from other people. Plus being able to email blunt and get an answer if he has a part in minutes is a nice touch.
