Dropped the dime

Actually i dropped several dimes... Put an HKS Hi-Power CBE on order, along with some SPL end links (F/R), and Z1 HFC. Guess I'll have something to keep me busy

Wasn't sure about the HFCs, but decided to go ahead and get them. Don't want to keep getting under the Z anymore than needed.

Nice. I need to get the end links. Think my girl is getting them for Xmas though.

And to think I thought by the title of this thread, you were looking for advice on how to retrieve a dropped dime from underneath a seat.

6MT, i've found that a vacuum works best under these seats. The other alternative is to not carry change.

Spohn, they are some pretty stout parts. Almost the size of the GTR end links.

You are gonna be one happy man with that combo.

If you didn't get them already - look into getting the metal gaskets from Z1. I'm gonna be ordering a set for myself soon - my graphite ones seem to leak on cold starts and whatnot. Maybe since the metal expands when warm, the hissing is reduced.

Nice man.

I'm thinking of getting HFCs, 4.08 gears and a clutch & flywheel upgraded. Dunno which HFCs to get, the choice is between Berk and Fast Intentions.

Post some vids and pics of your setup when you get it all done with.

I was going to get the Berks, but went with the Z1 HFC since I was at the budget limit for this buy... I'll post when I get it all installed
