What kind of parts are you looking for? Most parts have moved on to other projects, but let me know.

Tein Flex coilovers replaced the V5/GC package this week, with amazing results. I love this setup. I'll post some pics (I know, what a surprise) with the car cleaned up and at the new lower ride height.

Sure it's possible.
Rear is actually about the same, front end is about 1/2 inch lower (I meant to do it on the old setup but got lazy.)

Because they're not needed to adjust damping on the struts. I might pick them up at some point as a toy, but the reality is that I'm 2 clicks away from full stiff and loving it, and haven't really gotten into a situation whe I needed to immediately change the damping.

Here's to small victories. After a ton of procrastination I finally ripped apart my wheel hub to see if I could cram in cruise control (no mean feat on an aftermarket steering wheel). This is my second aftermarket hub; the first one had no provisions for a factory-style horn or for turn signal cancels, so I lucked out and picked up what I assume is a DaiKei hub, that allows me to use the factory clockspring, allows turn signal cancels, and came with a plug to mate an aftermarket horn to the factory harness. Thing is, there's not really a way to make the cruise mount anywhere, or so I thought.

I got bored last night and opened up the hub. to find something very interesting; if I pointed the stalk straight down, I could mount the cruise below the horn button, factory clockspring connector and factory airbag harness in the center of the hub, then clamp it down with some 1" strap under the mating surface of the steering wheel itself. After a bit of dremeling to the hub cover, I now have a fully functional, fully stealth (sits behind the verical spoke on the steering wheel) cruise control again.

Like I said, small victories
