Me I guess... :lol:

For a ~$300 total expenditure you can have a nice set of Koni OTS Yellows with the fabrication already done. Since this is a cartidge style, I've gone ahead and installed the cartidges in donor strut bodies. However one is in fact leaky with virtually no rebound so a new cartidge will be needed. Although I bought them new, I was slack and didn't warranty it before selling my Civic and tossing the registration in the trash, which was required. Doh!!

If this setup was purchased from Redshift motorsports, with donor struts and labor it would be ~$840 fwiw.

Therese making you sell old car parts before you buy more? Laura does that...or at least she tries.

...just can't tell them you're sitting on old parts (a.k.a. working capital) :lol:

I did get a great question the other day. "Are you going to need race tires for next year?". All I heard was "you can do it if it's life & death, but I'm not happy about it" :sing:

Race tires are a life or death thing for sure. Without them, you're gonna get KILLED in D-stock

Not a bad idea Jeremy but with 340 tw, seven year old tires I'd still need a second set of wheels and if I'm changing tires, they'd better be crack tires for the trouble of lugging & wheel swapping.
