my new nurburgring whip

[Eric]

Yes, when it's all said and done, I'll have 5100's on all 4 corners. The 4100's are drop in inserts that work just like any other shock, the 5100's are quite a bit different. They remove the stock tube, bore out the hub, then weld in the new tube that acts as the outer body for the shock. The strut is inverted, similar to some bilsteins i've used in the past.

I'm hopping the strut saga is coming to a close, strut tubes are at AST, so no more waiting on AST Holland, just waiting on AST USA to get the sruts to this point


Then it's another wait game for powdercoating and finally the last waiting game is assembly at Vorshlag. Yeah.


Here is proof that my parts are in Texas.

I has erection.

You have great patience to put up with this.

[Eric]

Yeah, I'd probably go with MCS singles if I were to do it all over again.

My roommate wants to know how much Vorshlag charges for a giant dildo, shipped.

[Eric]

I've got two of them with fresh rebuilt 4100 front inserts for sale! I don't know what vorshlag charges, but I'm cheaper!!!

You just wanted pretty pictures, right?

Did you order four fronts?

[KamakaziX]

I got really excited there for a second....

The two in the middle look like normal E30 fronts since they have the attached arms to attach tie rods and control arms. Mine are the ones on the outside.

btw, your sig destroys my phone. I can no longer poop and browse the mountain section...

[Bimmerman325i]

Balls. I liked that sig.

over a week of time they only welded the tubes to the spindle?

and you still have to wait for powder coat?

if so that sucks!!!!!

Not a week, nearly a month! The pic of the parts laid out on the lista cabinets was sent to me 16 Nov.

After a week of powder coating (used to get my wheels done in two days in Germany) they need a "couple" of days for final assembly...

Lone star chapter is hosting a HPDE 6-7 June 2013 at the new F1 track in Austin. I'm thinking of getting the car ready for it, who wants to place bets on these struts being done by then???

[Bimmerman325i]

Well, at least they are being honest rather than saying daily for three months: "itll ship tomorrow"

Freaking blue flywheels.
