Well I managed to shear off the bottom of one titanium(!) strut recently .. Dent Sport Garage is the local place where I get most of the work done on my car these days. I was sitting around bored waiting for my friend to pick me up.. So since I brought my camera, I decided to snap some pics of Dent Sport's track cars and customer cars on the shop.

more pics of ur Z leemik

 

amazing shots. you have any more pics of that MR?

 

love that gold wheels on the 240sx

 

Which EVO? Do you mean the dark gray one with the CF hood? I don't think that was an MR.. but then again he totally debadged his car and removed his stock wing so I dunno..

how about this

 

Wow your new seats look amazing with your car. Nicely done.

 

^ Ftw! (leemik Z)

 

Looks like they are still in the same general area and still no lift

how did you shear that strut?

 

Amazing pics!!

 

+1

 

Thanks guys! The lift is coming.. and they are buying a dyno too (either mustang or dyno dynamics).. they were still moving in when I came in on Sat

I don't know what caused the coilover to break like that.. As you recall the strut did have some slight cracks in the housing when i bought it new.. but Adam@Z1 said it was of no consequence.. so who really knows what caused it to just snap like that down lower at the fork...I'm a little nervous about the other one too.. as that had cracks in the housing as well when i got it new..

DSG said they will try and get me a new one under warranty from Cusco (they are authorized resellers) .. but I think I would rather they weld a stronger reinforcement on it to fix it.. My fender got slightly damaged too due to the wheel collapsing into the wheel well (bent out and wrinkled)

I gotta tell ya, that Cusco Zero-2 suspension has been nothing but trouble for me. First the bad mounts in the rear which went bad after only 2 weeks and cost me a lot of money to diagnose and eventually fix (part under warranty from Cusco) to the total collapse of one strut..
dunno.. maybe titanium is more brittle than steel?? but I would never buy Cusco again. horrible..

LOVE the red 350, but am not crazy about the leather bride's. Excellent pics!

 

Sorry to hear that Mike.

Sounds like DSG is made a good move. Those guys could be dangerous with their own dyno. I don't know if they told you what happened at ESP.
