[Suk02Si]

They should.

I picked up a 3" 5pt camlock last year :bigok:

[Jung918]

People have garage sales to get ride of their crap. Don't expect the holy grail.

[tacotacotaco]

If you are expecting some good deals be sure to be the 1st in line.

[cxlo8331]

^^ or expect to wait all day and come up empty handed. hmm, can you say greddy garage sale?

[articdragon192]

Some people got good stuff at the Greddy sale. I need a seat. I might be there. Or gloves, lol.

[DUFFM4N]

hmmm might have to go to this...i really want one of those camel bags (that u fill with water or wutever) or a quick release

[CrimsonRockett]

I really need a fucking seat.

I may attend...

[Z_Spool]

I'll be there... like was suggested though... REALLY early

[azndoc]

Damn I was just thinking that I might need to pick up a racing suit and was wondering when the garage sale was.

Damn it though it's my roommats wedding on that date though.

Might just have to show up there early then

[A Spec Products]

Eh yeah if you aren't like the first 10 people in line, you don't have much good to choose from

They usually put a couple Evo out, but beyond that no good seats imo after that

And people go EARLY....I think a couple years back I went at 8am (opened at 10am) and there was already a line around the building

[Z_Spool]

Thanks for that heads up... I was planning on getting there at 8 as well... looks like it's earlier now.

[zaquanh]

damn i love when they do that lol i wish i was in cali juss for it lol

[s14zenki_zenki]

getting there at 8!! lolol is there that big of a line?? im planning to buy a steering wheel and hub or is anyone selling one??

[k's_silvia2.0]

I gots to get me a seat or some damaged seat.

[Jung918]

You guys that think you are going to get there at 8 and be able to get something good will soon get a reality check.

[Skullavera]

Looks like Ima have to take my sleeping bag.....lol

[CrimsonRockett]

Jose, if you're down to go in the early AM hours, hit me up.

:D

[articdragon192]

Same here, lol.

[CrimsonRockett]

I'm down to be there at 10pm and have a little camp out.

:D

Nothing like getting paid on thursday and having $700 to blow.

:keke:

[Z_Spool]

sounds like a plan to me... I'm down. :)

[Z_Spool]

Hey, I'm not makin' it after all... have fun guys, make sure to post pics from the camp-out as well as the goodies you snag. :)

[articdragon192]

I'll be there after work Friday night, lol/. I get off at 1am Saturday morning, so I'll be there hella early.

[Skullavera]

As I and Johny! Don't really need a seat as I have three plus to stockers but if the deals are as good as you speak of Edgar.....FUCK IT!!! :keke:

[CrimsonRockett]

Fo sho!

:D

We shall be there with a case of Monsters to stay awake.

Who has a portable DVD Player?!

I can bring my Option dvd's.

:keke:

[articdragon192]

oh fuck, Mine is broken. Gah!!!

[s14zenki_zenki]

i got a dvd player in my new car xD. haha its a DC2 now.

[articdragon192]

You are not invited. Lol jk Doug.

[CrimsonRockett]

Jose, I can't make it out.

They re-scheduled me to work at 8am.

:(

Missing out I guess.

Let me know how it goes!

[Skullavera]

Damn that sucks. Fuck it I just pmed you but I thought you were still going to go. Oh well. I guess I'll just meet up Edgar there later.

[articdragon192]

Sale was gay. Period.

[Skullavera]

^^^Agreed. Getting there at 12:30am and busting an all-nighter for those prices was :down:. At least I got some 3" 4pt camlock harnesses for $65ea. They paired them up w/the nutcruncher belt and had them for $125! If I recall correctly, the conversation went something like:

Me: "So these boxes have individual harness components?"
Sparco Guy: "Yeah, but we have the complete harness for $125 over there."
Me: "So how much are the shoulder belts?"
Sparco Guy: "Forty dollars."
Me: "And the lap belts?" (Belt for the 5pt was $10)
Sparco Guy: "Twenty-Five dollars."
Me: "So if I piece it together myself, it would cost LESS than the complete ones, at only $75?" :eek:
Sparco Guy: :bite: "Ummmm......yeah, I guess so. But we matched everything we could up and made those sets from the pieces we had available."
Me: "Oh ok, thanks."

I guess they missed two shoulder belt pairs and I matched them up with the lap belts myself and just left the nutcruncher belt so I came up. Woot woot!!

[Jung918]

^ hahahahahahahahahahaha........ hahahahahhahahahahahaha.....

I was thinking about driving by late last night to laugh at you guys but decided to kill the liver.

[articdragon192]

Seriously. The whole deal was pretty bad. The freaking Sparco people were misinforming those in the line.

Me: How much are the Pro2000 and Corsas going for?

Sparco representative: Around 200-250

We get inside, and there's no prices on the Corsas and Pro2000s.

Me: Hey, what's the price on the Corsas?

Sparco dude: 400 bucks

WTF? Lame. Not only that but one of the first dudes that got in horded like 4 Corsas. And I was one of the 1st ones in there too. I only got gloves ;_; I wanted that Circuit Pro bad!

[CrimsonRockett]

Sucks.

Garage sales suck lately.

Oh well.

Time to scoop up some Z brakes then.

:D

[articdragon192]

The Apexi one was good. I got my stuff for almost half off.

[Suk02Si]

Good thing I didn't go :-/

[vutony]

only worth it if your the first person and buying a grip of parts: some for yourself and others to resell to compensate

[Skullavera]

Even then its hard to really make money with the prices they had on all the stuff.

[Jung918]

Anyone want to disclose what they got and for how much. I want to see how much their discount rate was.

[articdragon192]

Speeds were 100-150.
Corsas and Pro2000s were 400.
The discontinued Circuit Pro was out for 400 bucks.
Shoes were anywhere from 35 to 75.
Helmets were 100 bucks.
Steering wheels were all 100ish for the crappy ones.
Jose already posted prices for harnesses.
Gloves were 50 bucks.

BTW, Jose and I were one of the first ones in. Still, shit was lame.

[UfoZ8myCow]

That sounds like waaaay more trouble than its worth to save a little bit of money. Id rather just buy something slightly used for that much and not have to freakin' camp out overnight for it.

[Skullavera]

Well I went mostly because I've never done that before, and thought it would be fun since it wasn't only me there.

[Jung918]

The discount rate is pretty good. Now if only bride or recarco had a garage sale.

[vutony]

Now if only bride or recarco had a garage sale.

It would but Bride never has anything in-stock hence no garage sale

-waited months for just low max rails

[Jung918]

I went by Lot usa and they seemed to have a lot of boxes in the back. Of course the shop is nowhere as big as spacro.

[A Spec Products]

It would but Bride never has anything in-stock hence no garage sale

-waited months for just low max rails

I believe the wait is not due to stock but rather due to demand

For rails, they bring them in but they are all presold cause the backorder is so huge

So yeah I guess if anything their production speed kinda lags

But oh well no other choice when it comes to rails

Bride is best for our cars at the moment

The discount rate is pretty good. Now if only bride or recarco had a garage sale.

Recaro is on east coast, so forget about it

Recaro never has sales ever, I think only one time they were discontinuing this one seat I wanted so bad

Pretty much a SPG/SPA with elephant ears

Damn I ordered 3 at discontinued price but they said they were all sold out

Oh well

[articdragon192]

The discount rate is pretty good. Now if only bride or recarco had a garage sale.

Yeah, it was decent, but that was pricing on the "damaged" seats. It wasn't really the prices that ticked me off. It was the false advertising outside while I was in line and the fact that you had to go back in line after going in the first time to try and buy new stuff.
