WTB: XR4 struts The Merkurian Falcon, my 24 Hours of LeMons car build, needs front struts, and every single one I have except for the JVAB/FoMoSpo 41mm ones are FUBAR. So I need something that's not blown for cheap cheap cheap, since I only have a couple hundred I can spend upgrading the car. Don't need driveshaft guibo/donut anymore, got a new one cheap on ebay. I'm in NH.

This is for the 24 Hours of LeMons car we're building. I show up with Soooper Bitchin' Suspenders, I'm going to get slapped with 1000 penalty laps!

I need something shitty with plausible deniability with regards to cost.

The Billies are going on the black street car, quite possibly this morning!]]> fiasco Buy, Sell & Trade Mon, 12 Mar 2012 09:04:42 -0500 https://www.rallyanarchy.com/phorum/read.php?7,62998,63048#msg-63048 Re: WTB: XR4 struts https://www.rallyanarchy.com/phorum/read.php?7,62998,63048#msg-63048

Totally worth a shot, I really appreciate the help.

John, this is shitbox racing, you cobb together the least terrible ride you can for $500 and see what happens. The car came with 600 lb. Hyperco(il?) springs in the rear (tested them), but stock 97 lb springs in the front. So something over stiff in the front would complement the over stiff in the rear...or maybe I just soften the whole mess up and float around the track on stock crap?

I may very well just drill all the blown struts, weld a bung on them, and add motorcycle fork oil and see how long they last. Seems to be a common LeMons trick.


Sean, any luck digging in the shed? If not, I may need to take a ride to Holland Used Auto Parts this week.

Thanks!!

I think I have some short 400lb springs I can send to you. Buy those struts!

Yeah 400 lb springs will work excellent---on a KYB valved for around 100.]]> john vanlandingham Buy, Sell & Trade Sun, 11 Mar 2012 13:38:21 -0500 https://www.rallyanarchy.com/phorum/read.php?7,62998,63018#msg-63018 Re: WTB: XR4 struts https://www.rallyanarchy.com/phorum/read.php?7,62998,63018#msg-63018 phlat65 Buy, Sell & Trade Sun, 11 Mar 2012 12:12:27 -0500 https://www.rallyanarchy.com/phorum/read.php?7,62998,63015#msg-63015 Re: WTB: XR4 struts https://www.rallyanarchy.com/phorum/read.php?7,62998,63015#msg-63015 http://denver.craigslist.org/pts/2883642766.html]]> NoCoast Buy, Sell & Trade Sun, 11 Mar 2012 10:14:57 -0500 https://www.rallyanarchy.com/phorum/read.php?7,62998,63013#msg-63013 Re: WTB: XR4 struts, driveshaft donut/guibo https://www.rallyanarchy.com/phorum/read.php?7,62998,63013#msg-63013
