Title says it all... I'm looking for some parts for my V.

Exhaust: I'm kind of set on a Corsa
Springs: H&R's or something not much more expensive
Z06 Endlinks and washers for when I lower it
Short shifter: Stock one is in, with a worn out bushing, so I need this quick.

Located in Western KY but will pay for shipping. Paypal available.

If you post something here, you'd better either post a price or pm the price to me. I need pics too. Can't sell anything on the net without pics to prove you have it.

Good luck used parts are hard to come by. a thread a few down from Red SVt has a corsa for sale. the shifter and h&r's you will not find used so just spring 250 a pc and buy new.

I know they are.... I saw the thread about those parts (where you posted his price was too high :D), but I'm not giving up my stock exhaust and I feel that price is too high too. I did pm him an offer though.

Doesn't hurt to ask in this thread though. Never know when someone may decide to sell parts.

instead of exhaust I replaced my mufflers MUCH MUCH MUCH cheaper...
and GREAT sound...
.....I replace my resonator with x pipe too....

I would also consider cutting the mufflers off and getting some nice 4" tips put on. All can be done for $200 or less depending on tips and sounds damn good. Very affordable option and great sound, you can hear it pretty good on my youtube run, just type in allens ctsv and its at the drag strip. Maybe you know maybe you don't but anyways aftermarket exhausts are striclty for sound and have proven very minimal if any gains on the dyno( for our cars) so dont waste 1300 bucks for sound when you can accomplish it for 200 bucks.

I didn't really plan on spending $1300 on an exhaust. $600 is the most I'm looking to spend and I've seen them go for that used. Thanks for the advice.

I did a magnaflow X pipe(88.00) and flowmaster mufflers(90.00) and had a local exhaust shop weld them in for about 90.00 worth of labor and extra pipe. I am very pleased with the sound and it was cheap.

I whacked my mufflers too and couldn't be happier. Resonator is next to go
