Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

I would leave it alone, it's a piece of history, round be a good idea to have someone check it out for safety cause you do want to shoot it right

 

I got one of the prinsu roof racks, just waiting for a non windy day to paint it

 

Well sorry let me rephrase. I don't want to restore it to use it for actual shooting. My goal is to place it in a case on the wall, but I don't know where to go for cleaning supplies and restoration items to make it look better.

 

oh nice! maybe consider PCing it? I know the other Alex (sytuf510) is having trouble with paint sticking onto the aluminum crossbars

 

I'm just gonna paint the side rails and leave the cross bars bare since I'll probably be sliding the RTT on and off.

 

Anyone? Or any suggestions on who to use?

 

agh good call. Damn man you've done a lot of mods recently. Pricy mods too! haha! Did you find out when your gears are coming in? It looks like we're having a meet on Thursday, maybe have your appt that day and swing by the meet on the way home

 

Haha yea I couldn't pass up the group buy pricing. They were supposed to ship yesterday but they were closed. Hopefully they ship Monday and I should have them by Friday. I would come out to the meet but I work early on Friday.

 

I don't think I'd do anything to it. Just place it in the case as-is.

 

Man that music at the beginning made it seem like a montage that was going to end in you laying it down and saying RIP motorcycle Hahaha. Footage looks good though!

 

This you don't want to restore items like that.

 

Anyone know of a local shop that rebuilds icon/Donohue racing coil covers locally? If not there headed to icon this week.

 

Not a local shop, but even with shipping it wasn't that bad for a full rebuild to include new shafts (due to pitting).

Kurt was very easy to work with. Just my two cents.

 

Emailed, very quick reply, prices for everything including shafts beat prices of Icon for just the base rebuild. Appreciate the information! Will be working with him.

 

Glad to hear it.

 

curious, what does something like this cost? I probably should get mine done someday, think I'm up to 40k on this set....

 

Icon is $125 a shock, he quoted me $75 a shock, shafts are $50 a shock. So in total, yes $250 all said and done, and icons $250 without shafts. Sold. Especially considering I bought these for $250 Hahaha.

 

Why not do it yourself? It looks pretty straight forward. I was going to do mine, but got a really good deal on some Eibachs/5100 and sold the donahoes to fund tires. It will save you probably $75-100 considering no shipping.

 

Anyone selling coilovers for a 06 prerunner ???!!

 

Thought about it, but right now working 50hr weeks and being a full time student I just want them said and done. I'm going to have to ask for a weekend off just to do the install Hahaha.
