Oh yeah. Apex coilovers are coming and I am contemplating between doing the timing or the clutch. I think I here the TOB a little at idle.

 

timing belt > clutch

 

It's not a stock timing belt so it's been done before. It's just with the way the rest of the car had been "taken" care of that I am wondering if I need to do it. Another fantastical thing came up. Passenger front cv boot it toast and I need an axle. DSS sells the pair for $799 so I called Shane at Slowboy and he should be calling me back with a price since I know DSS has a set ready according to Simon at AMS. Fun, fun, fun.

 

$800 is a nice chunk of change, at least you know they'll stick around as opposed to the stockers which are break city

 

Yeah. They should be here tomorrow. I actually ordered the one from RussellM and it was $600 for just the one and then Chris told me about the DSS and I thought they were more expensive. Looked it up after my appointment, cancelled the order and called Slowboy. The front pair for $800 is fine with me and supposedly 900hp isnt bad. On the side note the coilovers are here and I am ready to put them in immediately. Chris 'cough'

 

you better bring the money over..lol. I should be off tomorrow at noon

 

For the axles too. Would it be easier on base or your place? I wanna get the axles in before anything. And I really dont know when I'll be getting off so possibly Saturday. I still need to pick up some t-case fluid and I might change them all to see if anything is scetchy.

 

Hi, new guy here from jacksonville, Im looking for a place that would actually do a good job on mounting and balancing tires and an aligment here. Can anyone suggest a place here??

 

Just rebuilt the CV joint for $80.

 

Axles are a base thing... though it could be done here. I was mainly speaking about the coilovers since they are a quick install (going to be busy this weekend).

 

Welcome... I will let the more seasoned locals chime in on this since I just moved back here a couple of months ago

 

post ***** much? just giving you ****


JAXXX, last place i went was to Sears at Orange Park mall to get mount/balanced to fix the base's f*ck up. don't remember how much it was, but they did a great job

 

I have dealt with Discount Tire on Beach near Hodges a couple of times...always top notch.

 

I guess Cory or Cody at Goodyear on San Jose does a great job.

Scott I really didnt want to mess with having somebody around here rebuild them and have them not be right since this is the DD(DSM cv was a week of rebuilds, returning and in and out bull**** through Goodyear because I didnt want downtime). I will definitely keep these though and have them rebuilt to resell.

Chris I will probably just get everything today and be on base tomorrow morning when they open for the axles. Might try to put the rears in today if your up to it.

Spotted a WW 8 on base near the BEQ. Black vortexg and exhaust.

 

thanks, do you guys do any meets or cruise here in jax?? I have mine and a friends tuned 335i looking for some fun
