for springs i would go with eibach which gives you a nice 1in all around and still pretty good ride quality with some kyb gas shocks. I had this on my sc b4 i went with some tein coilovers. As far as exhaust i would look at either apexi universal (good quality and not too pricey) or blitz. I have Borla mufflers on mine, love the sound just need to get bigger tips (like 4 or 4.5 instead of 3.25 in)

i would just think that smaller parts would work better. like intake, maf sensors, shocks, coil overs, decals,tail lights, etc...
I think we should all just take a vote on 3 spots and by popular demand agree on that spot.
for example:
first place blah blah park- north jerz votes:whatever

sencond place: belmore train station (there is an exsiting car meet every fri i think, so the cops woun't bother us)-long island ny: votes:whatever

third place: whereever...

I think we just find out how many people are down for this, then all agree on 3 places. then take a vote on the place. most vote wins.

I just think the swap meet makes sense since the economy is finished, people are tight for money. so swapping parts would just make sense for the GS,Es,Sc,Ls,Is,etc guys like us.

yeah i think its a good idea.

Here are the parts that I would be willing to bring for sc300:

46mm tial style wastegate
control arm bushings
kyb gas shocks
oem springs
air fuel pressure regulator and gauge
water pumps
1jz alternator
front slotted and cross drilled rotors(OEM)
oem front calipers
auto shifter and console
lextasy projector black housing headlights
soarer shift control lever and housing
3' down and midpipe for single turbo set up
greddy rs bov adaptor
HKS fcd
marlin crawler vehicle speed sensor
oil catch can
neutral saftey switch
oem driveshaft

and probably some other parts once i complete my swap(not willing to lug a 2jzge engine and auto tranny but have them for sale or trade too)

Let me know what people would be interested in and I would bring those items to whatever location is decided on

Swap meet sounds like a good idea, at least for most of you, however I do caution that ANYONE who sells parts to another need be very clear on the condition, as well as pricing of that part. Buyers, need to be very clear on what they are purchasing, as well as understand that NELOC, nor any of the moderators, will assume ANY RESPONSIBILITY in the resolution of disputes, should one arise amongst members. Transactions will be conducted between individuals only, and in the interest of keeping the altercation potential down, EVERYONE need to understand that this WILL NOT be a NELOC event, moreso than one in which individual members come together to help one another out with the exchanging of needed parts amongst themselves.

This warning is being put out in the open for the sake of advisement. In the past business transactions betwen members, especially that of high dollar items, have turned out to be not so good. Problems have arisen, reputations were crushed, and animosity nearly tore the ENTIRE group apart. No items being brought will be allowed to be posted in this forum, with prices, however you will be allowed to post the items themselves being bring brought to the meet, as the listing of sale prices in this particular forum is not allowed and WILL be moved to the appropriate classified section. Members wishing to post items with prices being brought to the meet, need to PM me beforehand with that listing so that the appropriate thread response can be created once this meet is officially organized.

Thanks!!!
