Well I got the studs today.. everyone who wanted them got emails from me. I already sold both my spare "stocking" sets. I'll be reordering next week when I get back from out of town if anyones interested. I got my rep at ARP to send them with boxes so I could ship them out in a nice neat package. I am going to make up some sticky labels to go on them even. Anyways... I'll be out of town this weekend on pleasure (gotta get my new coupe!) but hit me on the email if you wanna be involved in the next round of orders so I order enough. [email protected]



Oh I'm busy building my website.. is there any particular parts you guys want me to stock? I was thinking about bringing in some clutches but I haven't figured out what everyone is using.. I've seen some guys saying use KA setup while others are using Stanza setup and still others say use the SOHC CA setup.. jeez!... I don't wanna order/stock parts that won't move or won't work! You help me and I'll help you guys.... Oh I'll be getting a round of Energy Suspension bushings for the S13's shortly too. It'll be one of the first upgrades on the new coupe..

Hmmm if I get rid of my other project soon I'll be hunting a clean CA clip too...

Whats the bad news? is it that ca18et clutches don't have the right number of bolts(cause they don't).

I'll never be able to afford it, but shiny custom intake manifolds would be nice.

LOL... no the "bad news" was that I had already sold my first round of studs... so anyone else has to wait a couple more weeks :). Hmm shiny intake manifolds... what if we offered a powdercoated OE manifold?

Ehh, a log type would be the best. Do you have access to a fabrication shop or would you have to find a name brand part?

Yeah we've got access to a fab shop... a hand built (even log style) manifold might be a bit out of most peoples reach price wise. Maybe I'll investigate it.... Hmmm just thinking of some stuff to start stocking.

How about some aircraftstyle hose clamps? I'd like to use somthing secure when I do my intercooler routeing. I just had the pleasure of tighting a wormgear on the side of the road in the rain on my friends supra. Not fun.

Oh that sucks.. (the supra dealy).... your talking T bolt clamps right? No biggy I can get those.... I'll just have to dig up some pricing and order some.. most of you guys are running 2.5 or 3" IC piping right?

Oh well.. we'll talk more after the weekend.. off to get the new coupe!
