It's all good. My budget WAS a little over a grand but now it's gone down I was just curious what kind of prices you've been seeing for FC coilovers, new or decent shaped used ones.

Usually around $600+ for quality used ones. The cool thing about it here is that A LOT of parts have low milege on them. My car is a '94 (WRX ) and I bought it with 45K KM on it, that's about 27K miles!

Oh shoot! 2 door or 4 door?
How much do you think shipping coilovers from Japan to cali would be?

4 door bay-bee! I've already picked up an ARC intercooler, downpipe, and catback for that beezzy... she moves...WELL! She's especially fun in the snow and the track thats 30 mins away ($50 a session/day )

As for shipping, tops...$60-$80, talk about a hook up

I am. What ever happend to the nor cal meets? Now all they do is sac meets, gay. I think we should have the next norcal meet in Bakersfield just so the guys in sac have to drive a lttle ways

We should rent out Sac speedway and start a every summer meet there like the bugorama's they do their twice a summer.

That actually might not be a bad idea. I'd be down for something like that.

Hello fellow NorCal 7 owners! Has anyone here recently had their motor rebuilt? I have a 95 FD that is asking me for a rebuild. Motor currently has 79k miles and it's an auto. Just wondering how much I'm probably going to spend. I've read Rick's Performance in Pleasanton does great work, but is expensive. Any other places up here? Thanks!
