Okay, while I'm at this (reviving threads), I may as well ask this too: As I mentioned in my RVR Wheel Information thread query, I intend to round out my suspension upgrade with new rims/tyres. I am going to be installing Cobra Springs' RVR low coils on all four corners, and Mark at Cobra says...

I'm not sure if this is the right thread to be resurrecting for this question, but here goes (please help me out if not, Mr. Admin.): I am about to go shopping for wheels (as soon as the new KYB shocks and Cobra Springs are in my hands - Chilean Customs is not making that any easier - and...

Yeah, he mentioned the earthquake, as a matter of fact. Okay, I am going to pursue this with Mark/Cobra Springs, confirming amongst other things what the ride height of the part numbers they fabricate for the RVR is (as standard from Cobra), or if it's all customer request. Thanks for your...

I gave him everything except the chassis number (which I will be forwarding him when I get back to him). Matt's observation about ride height is pertinent, as I simply ASSumed that they would ride lower - you may have the answer however (which I would like to confirm before I email Mark again)...

Hey all: I just got an email reply from a fellow named Mark at Cobra Springs in NZ, regarding their springs for the RVR, mentioned earlier in this thread. I will post the pertinent porion here in order to ask your opinions: "We have the part numbers you are enquiring about available ex...

Any idea how I can get a set?

As a matter of fact, I am interested in installing a set of the Pedders springs, but need to find a way to purchase them there and get them shipped here. I'm working with Dan on the shocks - we'll see how that comes out and then hopefully move on to the springs from there. Sweet picture in...

Sweet, man, sweet B) Oh that I had the time, inclination, and manual dexterity to really get into some DIY on the HSG - I know that it would save me scads of cash, too! Seeing that strut brace - I may be looking you up later regarding DIY on putting one in the rear - apparently it makes a...

Right-o, Dan (pm sent, by the way). Unfortunately, I dont have time right now to get in there and tear it down and potentially have the vehicle off the road for a long period unexpectedly. What I have found is that what you call a Nimbus there and what is the Expo LRV in the US is the Hyundai...

Do you know if they (the AGXs) are available for the RVR - the KYB website offers only the Lancer option in the part finder for the AGX, but I was wondering if those would work on the RVR HSG R...?

You got me on that one, Dan - I have no idea which specific component of the assembly is failing, and the mechanic here basically indicated to me that the standard way of handling it is to replace the entire mount assembly. I did find an Expo mount assembly kit at a suspension supplier in the...

Having a bear of a time finding anything conclusive on the 'net regarding the strut mounts - been at it on and off ever since I posted earlier (the shocks and springs having to wait). I am interested in the KYB adjustables, Dan (are those the "Premiums"?). I'll have to start calling around...

Hello all: Thought I'd get in on this thread (not hijack it) because I am going to go ahead and start the suspension upgrades - somewhat earlier than I had anticipated, but the soft and slight knocking noise that I thought I heard the suspension develop on the second day of the trip back from...

Hey, took your advice to the extent that I could (as noted on the other thread): 4L of Liquid Moly 10W-40 Full Synthetic (good looking stuff! - and, it was all I could really get here immediately that seemed to fill the bill) - I wanted to go 10W-50, as you recommended, but I would have had to...

MattL: looks like Dan is going to be able to help me out on that - we are pm'ing. All: just wanted to correct unverified filter measurements above - the Mitsu OEM filter (MZ690115) has a 63mm outside diameter, whereas the Korean aftermarket job is 74mm (near 80 at the metal lip at the base), so...

Okay - update/resolution on the HSG oil filter saga: I installed the Mitsu MZ690115 filter after being assured by the parts suppliers' calipers that the seal and thread hole diameters were precisely the same as the Korean alternative that was previously installed (I will have to check into that...

From one of the more competent (?) parts stores here, after going around the maypole with them on what vehicle and engine it is for. I actually have the filter in my possession, intending to do the oil change tomorrow (which is now today - it's past 2am). BUT, I took a quick comparison look...

Thanks, Dan - I should have the chance to get under the RVR and do the oil change tomorrow or Friday, and confirm against whatever filter the previous owner had installed (I just bought this Hyper Sports Gear last week). I checked out your RVR parts-number-database thread, and commend you...

Hey Dan or Matt: Do either of you happen to know the MMC OEM oil filter part number? All I can find in stock here is MZ690115, but on other forums they say that's an FTO filter(?) - thanks.

Oh, forgot to mention (and feel kind of foolish doing so, since I haven't yet verified if it's turbo-back or cat-back): the only modification it appears to have is 2.5-inch exhaust, ending in a what looks like a decent Japanese canister. Huge, for my delicate sleeper-sensibilities, but at least...
