brm and j30 coilovers.

[diamondj30]

hey speed doctor you out there.i was wondering if you still offer to make coilovers adjustable for the j.there still no aftermarket available.i would have done it but i was a step ahead.i would like to tell people get them from brm.they were like 1400.00 or something like that.alot cheaper than what i did.i think it killer deal.i spent 1250.00 to have koni make me rear struts.my struts and springs cost about 2000 to have made.if i remember right they were hr springs and bilstiens struts.works for me.

coilovers!? i may be retarded, but whats brm?

[maxnix]

Eswift, I think Diamond J needs to back off the tranquilizers.

It's the new ebonics; so cool, so noncommunicative. Shakespeare had it all wrong, don't you know?

[Mayhem_J30]

he's always been like that, eventually you just get used to it.

[Eswift]

i understood everything except where i can get coilovers...thats the most important part

[diamondj30]

one more time.B.R.M..this is fun.it doesnt take a bolt on turbo to figure it out.im sure many nico addicts know exactly what im taking about.buy the way its vicadin and robaxon.oh man,im getting tired.

[Mayhem_J30]

there is a BRM muffler place...or is it a performance store...can't remember. BRM is also a reference to redheads

[Eswift]

yeah, i did a google search and a nico search for BRM. as far as i can tell it doesnt exist, at least in acronym form. anyone care to de-acronym BRM for me? i assume its not british racing motors, the uncle of the shelby cobra....

[maxnix]

i assume its not british racing motors, the uncle of the shelby cobra....

British Racing Motors was an outgrowth of the Vanwall Formula 1 team. Vanwall was the dominant bearing producer in the UK. AC cars probably had Vanwall bearings in the original 2.6L Acea, before Shelby dropped a 260 V8 in it, but that is as close as the two firms were to each other.

More like kissing cousins, once removed.

chris gets it.look at the ad at the top of this page.what happened to the doctor.back in 98 they offered the coilovers.just seeing if they will still do it for you guys that need them.it is or was the only deal around.rex birkmeir machines.as far as im concerned he is a nico founder.they do badass exhaust systems to but i all ready did mine.

[Eswift]

i finally saw the banner. those banners rotate each time you load a page, and i hadnt recalled seeing that one before.

-well if the speeddoctor wants to exhume those plans, i would get both coilovers and an exhaust.

[diamondj30]

some peeps may think 1400 is high.not me.just my coils cost 110 apiece plus tax.custom of coarse.he offered them in 98.if i had to do it again,i would get them for shure.im sure its a per order thing.im just trying to help you guys out.s.d. are you out there.there were also plans for super charger.dont no what happen.i do remember the cams were a good match for it.

[Mayhem_J30]

$1400 would be a very good price.

diamond, come up with your own SC idea. might have to take out the A/C to find a place to mount it. Then you'll just need some custom piping and fabricate a mount that properly lines up the pulleys...voila

[diamondj30]

lets not get carried away chris.i know i live in seattle,and may be a bit crazy ,but,i like my air in the summer.alright Rex,where are ya.

[Mayhem_J30]

ok then ditch the plenum, make 6 pipes to hook up to the lower plenum...cut a hole in the hood...wait a minute that would be nasty

[diamondj30]

i bet it can be done tastefully.chop chop why should i stop at the hood,i have some dull metal shears.LOL

[Eswift]

haha rip that aluminium skin right off...who needs it.

the supercharger can be done as chris suggested, as its been done on NA Z's. ive been currently working out the details.

one could also engineer a roots-type blower for the J30, its just that more custom fabrication would be required. (and maybe the discussed air scoop with external throttle bodies...haha)

i would get the coilover kit for that price, no question.....
