As some of you astute people have noticed, I have been selling some parts off my ITR. About a half an hour ago, I called my dad who lives in Phoenix to shoot the **** with him.

When i picked up this car a couple weeks ago; Len, Jason, Umar and I put on some JDM Buddy Club coil overs that I had imported from Japan. I drove from Georgia to Arizona with these installed and by the time I got there, I thought my innards were shot due to the stiffness of the setup. 12kg front 10kg rear.

I took them off at my dads place, put them in a box and said "Dad, I'll be sending for these in a couple weeks" and set them on his work bench. He must have forgotten this because when I was talking to him today I said "Those coil overs...in the box, I have a buyer and need to ship them." Pause......followed by silence....."Um, Son. I threw them away. The box had some oil on it. So I brought them to work and pitched them in the bin." "They should be in the land fill by now, sorry."

So...I'm out about grand and was going to use the money to put on new coilovers with better dampening and softer spring rates. That idea just went up in smoke. I can't be mad at him though. I love the guy too much.




Anyone have any USED Teins they want to sell? Possible stock ITR suspension trade?

 

dood...that just sucks

 

Your telling me. Hows the hurricane? I need Type R side emblems.

 

Bah

Sounds like it's your dad that needs the kick in the nuts. Why on earth would he throw something like that away without asking first?

 

My jaw was on the floor when read that.

Man thats sure is a kick in the nuts.

I dont know how you seem to keep your cool after something like that, I think I would flip out.

HOly crap, where is this landfill?

 

LOL, damn that sucks. Sorry to hear.

BTW those are some odd looking buddy clubs compared to the ones they are putting out now. Are they... err... WERE they an older model?

 

They were slightly older. They only had about 6,000 miles on them.

I'm a pretty patient guy. I consider myself to be level headed. For all the **** my dad put up with while I was growing up... It's no big deal, it's only material objects.

**Coilovers are burried somewhere in Phoenix, Arizona**

 

One week from today in the GDD forum:

"L@@K at what I found in the Phoenix blah blah Landfill"


I would down a bottle of Goose after something like that

 

Aren't dads great!!!

 

sorry, time to go diggin in the landfill

 

I guess the old saying applies here: "One mans junk is another mans treasure"

I was actually interested in them. Damnit.

Chris - not going to a landfill to find them.

 

Wow. The loss of 1 large would definitely kick me in the *****. that sucks man, sorry. Maybe its a blessing in disguise and you'll end up with an awesome setup, even at the loss of 1k

 

sue him , nah i'd react the same way if my dad did that. 1,000 bones is nothing compared to the amount of money he's given me (school, etc) over the last 20 years.

 

I bet he is just messing with you.

Title request to "Tune in next w33k" please ......

I beleive Opie said it best when he called you a Mini series

No ****. Jon, your Si thread is a f0k'n best-selling novel now right?

 

well i will officialy knock those off my list of coilovers, apexi here i come


that reall sucks though, sorry man

 

Thats crazy. I probably would've dropped the phone if my dad told me somethign like that.

 

Ummmm.....jeez dude. I woulda at least looked in the box before throwing them away. It's not like you can't tell the difference between empty boxes and ones with coilovers in em. But yeah......you are patient. If that were my dad I'd kick his ***.

 

that's too bad.. that model of Buddy Club coilover is REALLY good...

 

sorry to hear this, i was the one who was going to buy them. I was so stoked for them, already had garage space lined up for the install.... but, i guess im still in the search. for an honest seller

 

Hey Brando how long till you bring the car home. Watch out for the longshoremen in Seattle,they'll do hot laps with your R. Got 14 years in that state i know all the boys that worked there,they tore cars up.
