Parts parts and more parts

[ZER026D]

So lets get some group buys together we all need parts I know it.

[ArthurS]

Okay here is the things I want:

Perrin Radiator Shroud
Perrin Radiator Hoses
Perrin Intercooler Hoses
Perrin Lightweight Pully

And get me a price on:

STi Version 1 front lip (Will that even work on a Wagon?)
Tein S-Tech Springs (Wagon)
Tein Wagon Coil-Overs

[MattR]

Perrin End links for rear swaybar

Tien coils

[sperry]

STi Version 1 front lip (Will that even work on a Wagon?)

Sorry dude, I don't think those work. :(


I asked in the other thread, but I'll ask here too: Price on JIC FLT-A2 coilovers.

[MattR]

Art, I'll sell you my backup lip for $125 in the box.

[tysonK]

Some Stuff I would look into getting:

Perrin Endlinks

Perrin Rear Sway

Perrin Intercooler Hose(black), Intake Pipe also maybe

Tein Flex CoilOvers, I can't swing 1600 right now but maybe in a while.

Prodrive or Blitz Catback, basically for the sound, I might just a get a muffler shop put on a Magnaflow, Well I was looking around at axle back muffler setups and the ScoobySport one sounds badass, but it cost about 500.00 and thats just a rear pipe muffler section

Boost Gauge? AVO pod one. Vivid sells a lot of gauge they all look nice to me.

STi V1 Lip(I agree Arthur it looks good) or Kaminari Lip , Liberal Grill for the looks STi Carbon Fiber Rabbit Badge!

I should look for a second job, for mod money.

[ZER026D]

Ok on monday I will get pricing and place a order so lets get it together. I think that Aurther cant use a crank pully I think I say that someware. Scott I have herd bad things about JIC coilovers but that might just be here say.

Lol... Know what you mean about the second job. After 750 at Vishnu and then another 300+ for Deltadash, I spent all my extra $$$. Especially when you work for government.

Now what I want a group buy on is some STI LHD projector headlights

Well since these are small parts not that much money they said they cant cutt that good of deals on them there mark up is small on these its almost worth it yo just get free shipping. So I can get free shipping on them or a small discount so let me know the dicount is like 12-18 bucks on each part. I forgot to ask about the JIC coilovers they are calling back about some more pricing. :wink:

[dayofpain]

well i really didnt want to get into this. everytime i have attempted to order something from vivid they have given me alot of run around. the company in general is shady. most of the products they ship or claim to carry do not come direct from a manufacturer. but from some other dealer. meaning that they drop ship most everything that is ordered. yes evan has had good dealings with tehm. thats great. im actually really happy for him. however i can get most everything on their website for about 20% off just by looking around the net. including the coilovers evan ordered. i can get the tein flex for our cars for about 1400 shipped. the perrin products they sell are great and i have only found one other place to get them from. but that one other place has those parts for a great discount. i am not going to flame this company however i will say this, and i have told evan this from the first night i ever met him. i would never buy anything from vivid. i tried, i failed and still have yet feel comfortable with their service. if you guys can get group buys from them and get a discount thats great. im really stoked that you guys are getting hooked up. however, if you guys want 12-18 dollars off of those parts. you can me the money ill kick you in the balls and we can both laugh about it later. keep in mind group buys tend to yield about 30-40% off of a retail price. these are all JMHO. through experiences and other peoples notes on the above dealer. just wanted to make sure you guys werent settling on this. i just wanted to provoke some thought on the matter.

proof?

compare those two parts... just something to think about.

[MattR]

Yeah, actually, I found a vendor on Nasioc that has Perrin Endlinks for 117 shipped, thats a great deal. I might just order from there, because free shipping is a so-so price, I'll let you know evan

[tysonK]

I guess the guy who runs worldoneperformance.com will match any low price, plus he's got some of the cheapest eibach springs I think I've seen on the net.

[ArthurS]

Worldoneperformance.com has got to have the best designed webpage for subaru stores. They also have pretty good prices.

[tysonK]

and also some on the other boards said the guy called him after he got his order(can'nt remember what he ordered) and asked about if it got it installed alright and was really helpful, I might order stuff from this site.

[ZER026D]

Well like I said its cause I would be ordering two sets of end links thats not that much stuff not even realy a group buy so thats why. If they where for my they would be cheaper but they already know I have them so if you guys still want the end links I can get them for 108 then we half to pay for shipping. I am not douting Phil about seeing the tein's for 1400 but its hard to belive cause when I was at Vivid I saw what they pay and its 1420.

[ArthurS]

Evan,

I will let you know by 8 pm tonight about the Perrin Intercooler and Radiator hoses. I may have purchased a set of rims, but have to wait till 8 to find out. :evil:

[ZER026D]

Are you getting your rims from ebay?

[ArthurS]

Yea. Still awhile left though. :?

[ZER026D]

What kind of wheels?

[ArthurS]

Rota SubZero's 18" in Gold. But I didn't win the auction. I can still get them for 450.00$ shipped, but not sure. Looking at SDR's and Battles still.

[MattR]

$450!!!! Do it! sweet deal

[ArthurS]

Well he said he has no more Battle's. He will get SDR's next month and has the SubZero's in stock now.

450.00$ for the SubZero's shipped.
650.00$ for the SDR's shipped.

Thinking that the SubZero's may be a good idea to start. Even though I would be copying Scott :twisted: :P

[tysonK]

dude that's so cheap, you might as well do it.

Some things to consider about 18" Subz: the tires are bank like $20-$40 more per tire, and there's no weight savings... they are slower than the stock rims as far as acceleration is concerned. The 17" Subz are much better for racing on. Like Phil mentioned: a 17" rim with a 45 series tire is just about ideal for performance driving on a Subaru. So get the 18's if you're going for looks over performance, or the 17's for performance over looks.

I planned on getting a set of 17's for racing on (which I fnally did about a year later than I expected) so I went with the 18" Subz for pimpin on.

The 17's are a good racing rim, as seen on Gary Sheehan's USTCC car!

[ArthurS]

Thanks for the tips. I think I will just wait again for the SDR's. They come in next month through SubyDude.

Gawd, there is so much I want to buy right now :x

I met Gary and Joel last year when I was at Sears Point for 4 days last fall. The 1st 2 days were Audi events (though Audi Club let me bring my WRX). Gary was on the track during the Audi instructors run groups, practicing for the last USTCC race. (The Audi club was really cool about letting some of the racers on the track, usually it is reserved for the club.) So, I was on the track at the same time (passenger in an instructor's car), so I got a chance to see him go flying by in the passing zones - it was incredible to see the jump in speed between how fast our instructors drove, and how fast he was.

On Thursday his transmission broke, and so they were scrambling to find a replacement. I told Joel I'd offer to let them use mine if they couldn't find another in time for the race. Luckily the Subaru dealership came through with another. But that would have been awesome if they ended up actually having to swap mine into a racecar.

Haaha! Awesome till it broke too! I'm amazed that Gary runs a stock tranny in that beast! Does his class allow tranny swaps?

If it broke, hey, I'd take it in for warranty work :lol:

I don't know if they always run a stock tranny, but Joel said they had done it before. (Not saying much about tranny reliability.) So I assumed swaps were allowable.

[ArthurS]

My experience with Worldoneperformance.com was awsome! They are really helpful and pretty cheap too!

[tysonK]
