Sweet, an AliExpress notification! Wonder if that's the shipping notification!

So.

I got this text about half an hour ago.

I'm hoping that's my intercooler. Surprisingly, I'm not expecting anything else from China at the moment. So that's the only thing I can think of. However, my order isn't marked as shipped yet on AliExpress

As well, CSK isn't based out of Hong Kong, but Suzhou.

Also, it didn't say it would ship via DHL (even though I did pay $211 for shipping), but "AliExpress Premium Shipping". So we'll see. Trying to not get my hopes up for Friday, plan on installing an intercooler on Saturday, and it turns out its like an unsolicited free dog food sample from China or something...

Alright, I'm late to the CSB3 party here, but I've caught up on the recent posts. I gotta ask, how did you all get past like the 10 minute mark of trying to drill a hole in the crash bar and not stop to think, "maybe we're doing something wrong?" 😂

Oh I had a hunch when I saw the drill bits. But it's what we had to work with and it would either work eventually or break the bits and be cause for a trip to home depot motorsports

I'll grant you, I had the luxury of drilling mine at my friend's shop, with access to high quality bits, but it was like maybe 5 minutes for both holes. You could have hit up home Depot, taco bell and drilled the holes in less time than you spent.

Dude, Acadia would have spent at least 20 minutes at Taco Bell talking about how much he loves Taco Bell.

Sounds like a bunch of time wasted not eating tacos.
