yeah, been there done that. They fade and you are exact;y right about the weight. But on my Civic there was like a 40lb weight difference.

quick question folks, i'm thingking about installing a lowering spring on my car but, can't seem to find a shop around my area, marbach/1604/410..the nearest i can find is somewhere in converse area. would it be safe to have it done at a mazda dealership?

jiggawha1

Get some friends to help ya do it or I have a friend that'll do it for much cheaper than any shop

I will help a fellow navy man and do it for you for the cost of Gatorade.. I'm sure I can convince some of my fellow SARX brothers to assist me

But, if you can't wait and want it done ASAP PM grungepup , his shop may be able to do it for a decent price.

cs1swnavy

cool, i'll let you guys know once a get a lowering spring

depends on who you buy it from and what batch etc it came from...

I know mine weighs about the same if not MAYBE like a little more...

Haha Scott, BHR's midpipe is single res, unless they changed it...

9krpmrx8

iTrader: (46)

Is it? Well resonated is still better than non resonated. I never really did much research other than hearing it on a couple of "test" cars in Vegas. Since I am using the BHR gift certificate I never really cared

iTrader: (6)

DAMN you... I could REALLY use that right now since Im going to have to buy the Cobb AP first... I planned on the BHR midpipe, then ignition, then Cobb AP.

I'm number 71 on the list so I'll probably have the Cobb first, haha. Thanks to three paychecks this month

That is a pretty good deal... the kit really makes it.

Selling an 8 is hell apparently. I'm sure I'll find a buyer at the price I'm asking now, but surprised I haven't had any real serious offers. I know it takes time, but I'm already a fair amount lower than what I was originally hoping to get. Hopefully I'll have better luck once I get an autotrader listing.

Are we doing the midpipe this weekend?

9krpmrx8

iTrader: (46)

Yeah Sunday is good for me, after 1PM unless you an Jay wanna do it earlier.

WTBRotary!

iTrader: (6)

Took me 5-7 months to get rid of my old base model AT 8... I sold it for $8900 to get rid of it... good luck, my starting price was like $11,500 as well and quickly went south...

8 Maniac

iTrader: (1)

That should work for me. I thought Jay worked on saturday anyways?

That sucks... how many places did you have it listed? Definitely dont want it to take that long or have to lower my price much. I'd imagine even carmax would give better than that at this point.

Grungepup

iTrader: (2)

yeah sunday is better


after 2-3 though, i have to head to my parents to do some chores for them then i should be back at the house.

8 Maniac

iTrader: (1)

That should be fine. It's just a midpipe so it should be fairly quick, though it seems we always have to run to lows for something during exhaust installs...

9krpmrx8

iTrader: (46)

Haha, I love Lowes

8 Maniac

iTrader: (1)

What time tomorrow?

Grungepup

iTrader: (2)

make it like 3.... i have some stuff to do at my parents house

8 Maniac

iTrader: (1)

I figured we'd be getting it done a little earlier... I might have to reschedule

MaddHatter00

Hey 9k how do you like you exhaust?
