Need help fast!!!
« on: September 29, 2009, 09:57:50 PM »
OK fellas....i am gonna make it to LS this year. Ive been busting ass on  the buggy for two weeks. Got my front suspension handled and also got the floor pedals and steering all mounted. Was testing the suspension out when one of my back shocks gave out. So i need to know where i can get a shock thats like 18 to 20 inches from eye to eye in 7 days? If anyone knows where i can get them resonably priced ill get them overnighted to me so i can finish up and bring the buggy to LS and we will find out how this honda tranny holds up cuz im all about thrashing my stuff then fixing it so its harder to break... Let me know....

I'm running some kind of Chinese shocks. They came off another buggy.  Sure those will work Doug. Do I take them somewhere to get them charged? As in a welding supply or do I need to take them to a shop?I'm sure they will work and I'm sure I can charge them.

Doug can send them my way and I will charge them and send them on to Boltz.  I'll put about 100 PSI in them and then if they need more I'll top them off at LS next week for you. I'll have my bottle with with me.
