Hey Guys, I'm changing my set-up for my car around a bit and I'm going to have a some stuff for sale starting Wednesday/Thursday of next week. If anyone is interested in any of the parts I'm going to be selling, PM ME. I rather give my local fellow 37 owners dibs because it would be cheaper and easier for both of us (shipping).

I'm selling:

Yokohama S. Drive (2) 255/35/20 and (2) 285/30/20 with about 4,500 miles w/ minimal camber / toe wear and plenty of miles left. 1 tire has a patch from running over a screw, but it's been patched properly and has been holding air fine since I had it fixed. This was almost 2 months ago with 200 miles and I checked the air once every week, pressure hasn't dropped at all. ($475)

Tanabe Sustec Pro Coilovers; also with around 4,500 miles ($600)

I'm going to have my coilovers and tires available starting the middle of next week as Frank over at Hill's Garage is going to do the work. Suzanne and him will both vouch for me!

I also have a Fast Intentions exhaust with the stainless steel mufflers and the NEWER x-pipe with 12" resonators on the car still that I may sell if anyone is interested. There's a small dent on the right-side muffler from a rock. It will not AFFECT performance and isn't noticeable unless you're actually under the car.


I'm only selling this because I want to go with a smaller width tires and dampening adjustable coilovers (slamming the car). I'm also looking into going with the Greddy Ti-C exhaust.

- Steve

Why are you getting rid of the exhaust? I may take it off your hands depending on price. People keep telling me different things about the various exhausts.

Just want something different that's all. I want something louder, it's not my daily driver. Fast Intentions is one of the most popular choices on here and I paid $1500 for it. I would say $700 would be fair.

Damn staples, those are some fair prices. If I still had my coupe I would jump on those coilovers. I can vouche for the FI exhaust I had themu on my coupe and loved them.

I wonder if ur coilovers could fit my xS Sedan.

Damn, I wish I had known before, I woulda def taken the exhaust off your hands (my own FI catback is currently at hill's waiting for install : D)
Btw, for those that wonder about the new X-pipe, Tony from FI says that it's a significant improvement (like 12hp on top of the normal exhaust gains). Don't know if there are any dyno #s to prove it, but he is a pretty reliable guy so at least you know the new x-pipe is an improvement.
Besides it not being loud enough, did you find it was still good for performance or not so much?
Btw that is definitely a fair price, especialy considering if you were to order from FI right now, your exhaust would not be made for several weeks at best.

They do fit the Sedans, same part number and it will also work with the all wheel drive models as well.

I don't know if I would say 12hp on-top of the older style x-pipe (I've had both). The older style was a Magnaflow muffled x-pipe which was more restrictive then the newer design.

There's no doubt, the performance is there. Different people have different tastes. Some say it's too loud for them, others say it's not quite loud enough. I would say it's pretty damn loud especially matched with resonated test pipes. It's a head turner none-the-less and I've gotten a lot of compliments. It does also sit a little on the lower side under the vehicle which gives an aggressive appearance, the other problem is me lowering my car even more it will sit closer to the ground, which I don't want.

Tanabe coils do fit the sedan. Great prices on all the parts, GLWS Staples.
So who is coming to the CP meet May 1st? Where you guys meeting at? I live 10 mins away from the stadium so I will meet with whoever is coming near the stadium.
