Why not just get a hold of the guy you busted his balls about not being an advertiser here, even though he was, and have a set rebuilt. Bruce at Pioneer is out your direction. Would be cheaper than new shocks, can add a better valving package and be done with it. Seriously - is this just about attention? Did you really need to come here to post a question you obviously had other means to gain the answer. Do you mean Pioneer Performance? They actually built the A-arms that came on my dads sled when he got it, and heres how it turned out: 2005 Fusion 900cfi Dynoport Can SLP Torque Arm 1" predator track -------- Dads: 03' RX-1er Custom Graphics 4th wheel + Custom wheel kit -------- Moms: 2000 SXr 600 Sleeper ( 700 triple big bore with cut 600 heads ) Stock elsewise Rating: -5 Quick Edit Full Edit

	Quote originally posted by BRP-4-LIFE Quote originally posted by Offshore24 My question is who's giving RX-1 mountain sled shocks and springs away for $200, brand new? You can't buy one shock for $200, if they're rebuildable. New take offs. Not in the package, but they came on a crate sled, and he swapped them out for floats. Who and where?

Quote originally posted by polarispimpman500 just go get them re-built. i thought you said you know a couple dealers with cheap shocks, or was that a lie. cant afford 300 for shocks but can build and design his own rear mount turbo. something isn't adding up. He got the turbo from a car. And he is having his friend weld the mounting bracket for the turbo. The oil system is coming from the dry sump on his sled. He plans on boosting it to about 7-8lbs of boost.

His back shock is fine, but not his front ones. He figures if he can get new shocks for $200, better off going with new ones than beaten old ones. 2005 Fusion 900cfi Dynoport Can SLP Torque Arm 1" predator track -------- Dads: 03' RX-1er Custom Graphics 4th wheel + Custom wheel kit -------- Moms: 2000 SXr 600 Sleeper ( 700 triple big bore with cut 600 heads ) Stock elsewise Rating: -3 Quick Edit Full Edit

	your dumb there is more to a turbo set up than hey lets just cut and weld. your family must have fallen off the crazy bus a long time ago because none of you make any sence. do you have any idea what it takes to run a turbo, and how much money it would cost to get it running right. sh!t if it was just plug and play any average redneck would have one. ma... pa.... get me some JB weld im goin to make my skibob faster.

I am blaming him for EVERY stupid design/flaw that I run into now.

Also, a guy on dootalk was the one that told me it would cost that much to get my shocks revalved. It doesnt make 400 ft/lbs of torque, its a small block it doesnt have the rod length or ratio to make that much torque....maybe 325. You may get the torque up to 400 but your camshaft profile would suffer the entire package and you would probably down on HP. Again I have built and been around drag racing the entire time. ...... so you really have no idea how much it would cost to rebuild. You probably asked this stupid question in 3 boards. It took me 20 seconds to find the prices from the guy you were talking all big too. Building RC jet engines take no where near the science of piecing together a turbo from junk yard parts and putting it on an engine thats going to cost 3k to replace. Rating: +1 Quick Edit Full Edit

	If the shocks are rebuildable ship them off to Ian of Monster Performance. His website is in my sig. While at it I would get the shocks set up for the riding style and weight of the main rider.
