hey directql,
im in chicago area and i frequently go to apg. i would love to get out there for tomarrow, but i start work at 12.
how much did apg charge for the springs/shocks combo? and how much for install. im doing my car up nice over spring break, (march 28-april 7) exhaust, intake, and afc. well if you guys want to have a mini meet somewhere just let me know ahead of time, so i can call out of work. i have put the bomex kit on it as well.

Now, APG is doing the install but as much as much as I think they do a fine job installing and fixing, I found ways to get my parts cheaper else-where. I think they do excellent job with installs and they're very down-to-eath people vs. other places.
PS. Don't get the S-AFC, get the emanage, it's better.

How many you Chicago guys going to HIN on 6-29? I am cruising down there with my Michigan boys, 2 S200's, a supercharged 4 runner, Audi TT, my RX-7 (bro driving), my X-5 with the 22's
, 3 Supra's (one with 1000 hp), and a turbo charged Integra.

yah, im goin for sure. i was thinking entering my coupe, but i check up on a score card, and i dont have half what it takes, but im sure it would be fun. Johnny, you should enter some of those rides that your bringing down. we should set something up to meet somewhere. what do you think, should i enter my 92 coupe. engine has injen intake, apex exhaust, and pearl white bomex kit. by then ill have a feul management system. (either AFC or E-manage) but ill be there for sure, if i enter or not.

I am thinking about entering the X-5, because it will probably be the only one down there. I am sure all my Supra boys will enter that I am coming with. But an X-5 with 22's and a Dinan exhaust might do me proud

Kevin, I think you should enter. Sounds like you have some nice parts on your car. Don't underestimate the popularity that the Lexus SC is getting nowadays. Seriously, go for it.

Now, about the suspension, I need the control arms. Simple as that. Now, how are you planning to get the engine? How much, and where at? Is it possible you can hook a brother up?! Hehehe.

Hey fellas, what or where is APG?
I'm in Chi-town and just got new struts. The tuner shop (which was a great find for me, in ChinaTown not far from Downtown) ordered Tokicos for me, but got the wrong rear struts. The guy drove to the Mcgrath dealership and bought the 2 stock for the rear and put them in. You can see my disappointment. Let me know of some good shops.
Thanks, Marty
Bye the way, I would love to see some SC's at Hot Import NIghts!
