Due to new regulations that came in last month my car won't pass the test if there is a shock imbalance. Does any one know do any other shocks fit in the front?
Another thing. Did anyone get the resenin injection done on the windscreen? I am not sure how good it is. Cause I got a chip and it will fail for that too. Does it leave a noticable mark?
I had one of my windscreens repaired using the resin stuff and they did a great job on it... I knew where it should be and most of the time struggled to point it out.
If you have fully comp insurance then it shouldn't cost you anything to have done either as since it's a repair they normally waiver the windscreen excess.
I saw some pictures of race-car BEATs with KONI stickers so I thought KONI damper for the BEAT are existing. In Europe are the BEATs not listed, so we need the KONI serial number to order.
Shock inbalance.... you mean on the compressors or the springs, this week I am getting these babies fitted.. they are 3cm shorter which should give up to 10cm chassis drop... (no more high speed road bump jumping for me). If you're talking the whole shock unit, there are sets made by the following makers off the top of my head for the Beat here in Japan, in the UK, have no idea sorry!
Mugen
FGK
Kayaba
Showa
There is a set of four genuine on the Yahoo! auctions at the moment for 8000 yen, and they come up fairly frequently, unfortunately I have 1 odd shock (FGK) on my wrecker so I can't give you a complete set.... So the question is are the compressors or the springs to fault....
Oh I'm sure its the compressors. Becase they test the reaction of the shock (if I can say it this way). If the two were bad then that would be fine, but one is better then the other.
8000yen is cheap but they are really heavy to post.
If you can think of any others let me know, cause I am determined to get a set. Not of Honda thou!
Backyard Special: 50mm down sus 228,000
CAT WALK: 128,000 (Halfway)
MUGEN: 20mm down sus 102,000
Palms: 198,000
Second hand I haven't seen many on the boards, they will come up on Yahoo every now & then..but the bidding is fierce.... The prices above are all sets of four....makes 8,000 + postage sound a little more attractive?
Not quite, I wouldn't have any idea on the postage, how much do they weigh anyway? The 8000 is the current bid price on yahoo buy for 13,000, 1 day to go they are RSR down sus 1580 domestic postage to me + fees of 2000 that's 16580 then....you add international shipping.... even if you add another 10,000 for shipping, compared to the above prices you win...
Here are the details for payment through Pay Pal just send the 16580 for the moment, when I finaliize the postage do that transfer again, so I don't overcharge you for anything,, does that sound fair.......
When the money arrives I get notified, will buy at 13,000 for you, unless you want me to jump on them now!
Adam the shock arrived today, they look brand new, the not so good news is the weight, I wondered how much a set would weigh, now I know 23kg....That is 33,100 by EMS or 18500 by the ship..let's know what to do....
