Damn, I got these fine looking parts, but no car to put them on (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)


Pricing not set as of today, I still need to do some number crunching to make sure I make a few dollars (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Those are beautiful! I'd probably put them on my desk. Too nice to use on my car. Great job!

I need numbers, and quickly, damnit !

Since you don't have a car to put them rubys in, send em' to me and I'll do a test fit......not one of them professional jobs, either, but your basic hammer mechanic install.....kind of a real world test.

One side would be fine. If I like em, I'll send back money for the other side.

I really don't like the "striction" I'm getting with the poly bushings. I'm sure they will break in, butt.......

Hey Mike,

These look very fine!!!
Let us know what #'s you come up with ASAP
Darn, if I had known you were working on these, I wouldn't have gotten me the bronze bushings from Elephant-racing...

Cheers,

Jeroen

Mike,

Does the sleeve on the a-arm take care of any wear tollerances?

Cheers,

Jeroen

The inner race as it is called, slips onto the A-arm with minimal effort. If the A-Arm is worn down, I'd recommend a new A-Arm or use a two part epoxy when installing the inner race to take up any slack that may be present.

As is, if there is no slack, LOCTITE or an approved equiv. should be used.

Brad is picking up two sets tommorow to install on a few of his customer's cars.

Hopefully he'll chime in and show pictures of the install as well.
Documentation is being currently written for these parts.

I'm still interested too, but there's a long and growing wish-list, with quite a few things that I need to do first. Just little matters like helping to prevent fire, engine destruction, and so forth.

OK, mike I sent you some Email. Dunno where it went, (home or work) but, since you're prolly lookin' here instead of workin', I figured you woud see this.

Go ahead and send the bits and I'll fit them ASAP.
If you can get them here by Friday, I'll do it this weekend.

Guy's.. Mikes 390$ price is for people who are registered with this 914club BBS.

All others will pay: 425$ for the setup. I'm starting the install today (Thursday) on a F-prod car. I will shoot pics of every step (will take me twice as long to actually do the install.. but I'll do it for the CLUB.

Thanks Brad...........


I think Derek-SF has a complete front suspension for free, let me hunt him down and ask if still has it and also ask why his sorry ass is not here on this BBS (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I can take some good picture of the piece parts here in my office, I'll shoot some with a black background and with a white background.

Oh, that is you? Glad I didn't talk trash about you, LOL

So the suspension is not complete or what?

The A-arms are the most needed item, I have struts and the cross bar.

What the heck is vortrex? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

There's a lock pin with a nut on one end just above the ball joint. Take the nut off and whack the small end of the pin towards the large end with a hammer and drift.
