Post by: Febi Guibo on March 16, 2006, 07:41:15 PM
running list here (as of 18 mar 06)

------------------------------------

strut bar

------------------------------------


Well, let's start collating ideas for potential group buys...

with our, um, massive worldwide purchasing power we can start hitting up vendors...

anyway, it's worth a shot to brainstorm... post up your wants --and hopefully mine and your wants-- here!

Hey guys Im now a lead salesmen at Modacar.com (http://www.modacar.com), I can put together group buys on a lot of product. We are also talking about making parts for e30's using my car as a test mule. Throw me some ideas or Ill just come up with some. A Sparco like strut bar is my first priority.

Hmm. I have a question, then - why is it $80 cheaper to buy Racing Dynamics swaybars for our cars directly from Racing Dynamics (http://www.racdyn-usa.com) than it is to buy them from http://www.modacar.com?

Just curious. :rolleyes:

BOT, a Sparco-like strut bar would be nice, especially if you could get the darn thing to clear the back of the intake manifold without having to raise the bar or use longer studs on the strut mounts. I think I am going to take my Sparco bar to someplace that has a large press and have them 'compress' the center section a little, as I can barely slip a sheet of paper between the manifold and the bar, even after shaving the manifold and raising the bar.

Engine mounts would be nice, too, particularly if you could get Prothane to make them. :D

The price may be old, they don't get a lot of e30 buys so that price could be from 5 years ago for all I know, Ill bring it up tomorrow. If you want sways just let me know.

I may be able to do something on strut bars or sways - I sell both now.  Let me know what brands and if you'd like to get them by a certain date.
