The 40 is for core which you get back so I did not count that in the price.

I tend to agree, if the time/money/what have you doesn't bother you then why not? It's not like you are putting it in someone else s vehicle and making them live with your experiment. Plus I like the fact that you are willing to take one for the team and give it a whirl.

well, its just with some research ive found other people in other cars have used this brand....and no problems. Now ive also done the research and bearings will cost me ($30 bucks plus ill need new burshes (10-15 bucks) and hell its old so i should think about replacing the regulator (40 bucks roughly with burshs) so.... for me as a customer ill spend roughly 60-70 buck for a rebuild and 100 isnt so bad considering it has 2yr warranty....


Ill post back once i get it with pics and comparison with oem unit etc and we will see how it is.
