Slick Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 So that leaves me with a set of unidentified 10" hypercoil springs. Anyone need some? =]Yes Please. PM me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iRoush Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Brett, how's it make a difference if it's at this height or if it's 2" farther up the sleeve?is there tension on the spring before putting it on the ground? if so you're preloading the spring and it's going to reduce travel and cause poor ride quality...

Det_Riot Posted May 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 So where did you find the Borla tips? Dig up a time capsule somewhere? Those are impossible to find!If by time capsule you mean for sale thread on corral from over a year ago. Yes! Guy had a full set with side skirts and the exhaust so I went in on em with 1997cobra. He wanted the side skirts. I wanted the tips, and we'll sell the mufflers and split the profit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95riosnake Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Very nice! Gotta love taking a stab at a super old for sale thread and snagging a nice deal! That's how I got my export tails, I think the thread was a couple years old, I took a shot at it and the guy was like "You should start playing the lottery because you're in luck, I still have them. Just got sick of people low balling me." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

95riosnake Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Bryan back when I cut out the original Borla side exit stuff to make my own using the Borla tips, I believe I sold the exhaust minus the tips for $250ish plus shipping. That's the flow tubes/mufflers and the side pipes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would you of suggested?oh man... that clutch will be coming out in about a year from a failure . Spec is absolute junk. I only run Exedy clutches in my cars now, the Roush has the Exedy Mach 500 which engages just like stock but with a 500+ft lb torque capacity and the Miata has an Exedy OEM replacement. Both of which are holding up perfectly without issue... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnyxCobra Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 oh okay, i was hoping you didn't already have the trans and stuff bolted up. sucks but could have been worse. I couldn't use 2 of the smaller bolts in my bell housing because they interfered with the starter bolts so I just left them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
