white_sandshoe Posted November 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 Ok all, here's the story... Bank approved, seller approved, everyone friggin approved... then mother in law (who happens to have the equivelant of my balls as a piece of paper, being mine and my wife's certificate of title for our house) decides we shouldn't be starting a business and certainly not a mechanical workshop and it's so risky and I should really just do exactly as she wants which is get a shitty day job and work to pay off houses while i build a real estate empire just as shes done while remaining too tight to have meaningless things like hobbies friends dreams. Anyways, in my traditional "F*CK YOU" attitude, I'll be postponing the workshop for as few months as necessary while I actively engage in other sources of funding (even though a mortgage would be so much easier.) and will be operating a little more modestly at first when it all does go down. I'm still available for bits and pieces, but I'm going to do a short stint in manufacturing for a few months while raising some funds. This is not the end, merely a postponement and regroup.

h1_roll4 Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 yo garnett you should just turn this thread into one that people can ask about jobs/advice. Do you know if t18 springs will fit into ke70s? And do u still have those struts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know if t18 springs will fit into ke70s? And do u still have those struts? Hmmm. could do, but isn't that the whole point of the tech section? :( T18 springs will fit best with the T18 strut, and yes, I do have them. Your choice of standard or low king springs and also have a set of lower control arms (remember how much camber mine had that time i rolled up at your place? well they are good for about 2 degrees less than it had then. should be 2-3 degree... Also got some falcon springs you might be keen on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h1_roll4 Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 ok deal! I'm down for the king springs. Are cut falcoon springs legal? I'm all good for control arms. Ive got some xt130 lcas to go in after pits. Adjustable tierod ends to. And why start a new thread in the tech section when u may know.

Cut springs aren't legal, but I can lend some kings for the canary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
