no... its 10 bux shipped.... haha

so your not saving ur spending.... BALLER!~

Mark_Dorman · 03-12-2009, 12:10 AM

I didn't see any for $10 shipped. Most had a $10 shipping charge. Cheapest was $15 total so far. I'll give you $10 in that case

Cjung · 03-12-2009, 12:15 AM

o there is a trick to it

you need to go to the one they sell only one (thats where the shipping is listed as 4 dollars) and then order 2 from that one so that you get the spacers for like 6 bux and shipping is like 4 bux

nice loophole heh? hahaha

Mark_Dorman · 03-12-2009, 12:17 AM

Ah...I see...that's retarded. Still...$10...what do you say?

Cjung · 03-12-2009, 12:22 AM

haha i liked it when u were balling..

well not yet i want to see if tim's rims will hit my coilovers or not if it doesnt ill sell it to ya

Mark_Dorman · 03-12-2009, 12:40 AM

Yeah...I liked it better when I was ballin too

Cool...just let me know

Davis · 03-12-2009, 01:22 AM

Hey guys, the sway bar reinforcement bracket and h&t endlinks actually made the car ride better! Turning the wheels, it feels like I'm really in control, I don't know how to explain, but it feels great. Everything feels so precise.

Mark, why not get Azenis? I love mines!

and 215/50 is going to make the tire look super tall dude, go with 215/45.

Mark_Dorman · 03-12-2009, 01:57 AM

Hankook makes some that come in 215/45/16 and 245/45/16. You think I should go with 245/45's in the back too or go with 245/50's???

anny · 03-12-2009, 02:01 AM

very good ,we can chat everything here , I will come here frequently !

Davis · 03-12-2009, 02:01 AM

Welcome Anny, what part of the neck are you from?

Mark, I'd go with them, these are 245/45 when I had them. Are you talking about the RS-2s? I'll let you know how those are when my Azenis go out hehe.

Mark_Dorman · 03-12-2009, 02:07 AM

Welcome Anny!

Yeah...I was looking at the Hankook RS-2's. What size were the fronts in this picture?

Davis · 03-12-2009, 02:09 AM

The same it's always been, 205/50/16

the 225/50 did not fit what so ever:

If it wasn't chrome I bet it would've looked bad ass with a drop. Muscle car status.

Mark_Dorman · 03-12-2009, 02:19 AM

That's hilarious! Gotcha...so you think the 215/45's will work well. Cause I really wanted wider than 205 but know 225's wont fit...

Mark_Dorman · 03-12-2009, 03:02 AM

Check this out guys...

So I picked up one of those $15 shifters off ebay that is identical to the TRD shifter (trust me I checked). Now I have a tall TRD knob that I wanted to use but wouldn't fit...so I too the dremel to the shifter and removed the ring that the shift boot sits on and stops the shift knob from screwing down too far...

So with that removed the new shift knob goes on nicely and all I have to do is put something close to the bottom for the shift boot to rest on and it's good to go

honda_bar · 03-12-2009, 03:36 AM

i want that knob.

Christian, just need the lock cylinder to be functional. Im going to check the price of new motor mounts...

deucegirl03 · 03-12-2009, 04:01 AM

finally caught up!
frankie you know we would never forget you! nice clips btw

christian the pin is exposed just fine, it just doesn't ohm out. i have continuity before the connector, then at the pin it just zilches out. nada. no ohms. i tested both sides of it and probed it (haha i said "probed"

) and still my DMM reads "OFL", so the pin is toast. its just what happens i guess

tomorrow i pillage junk yards and if that fails i macgiver that ish!

talking of tires and sway bars gets me all excited for what i want to do with my car.
i have decided since my job situation has changed, i am broke and its hard to save money, i am gonna just focus on getting the 2 running well and then start building up the suspension. adjustable coilovers, sways, wheels, and tires FTW!
ill get my pickup later, for now i am just too obsessed with my baby and don't see myself being able to stop any time soon....

oh yes and welcome anny!

xltinlx · 03-12-2009, 04:05 AM

Hi COLIN! HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY COLIN!!!!
sorry its so late, i've havnt been on much =]

guys what do you think

FS: Like New TRD Springs
I have a set of TRD springs for sale. They are as good as brand new. I only used them for like 3 weeks. I have a receipt to show the date of purchase.

I am going another route thats why im selling them.

It has like less than 400 miles on it.

Looking to get $225

The springs are still in the car so i cant provide an actual picture of it.

I will ship it with the original box

he is asking 235 shipped, and can i trust him if he says it has under 400 miles on them?

what if he bought new trd springs and shipped me some older trd springs? O_O lol

deucegirl03 · 03-12-2009, 04:10 AM

i saw that post and would have considered looking into the sale myself except i have decided upon coilovers...i don't know it could go either way with that...if he offers a guarantee or warranty or something? what do the rest of you guys think?

xltinlx · 03-12-2009, 04:18 AM

ah, im gonna buy them! wish they were brand new though.. =\

deucegirl03 · 03-12-2009, 04:38 AM

good luck! honestly i would have picked them up, i feel like itll be okay. worse case scenario if this guy screws you over, call us up and we will break some knee caps!

for real tho keep us posted and let us know how it goes.
holy crap its almost 2am...guess i better hit the hay...
