It's intended for Car Shows or off road use only. It installs with Velcro so it easily comes on and off in the event I have a passenger.

Much better.

Also got rigid collars installed.

Coilovers n exhaust otw.
Any advise on the front sway bar install. Bought a Spoon Front Sway bar almost a year ago and have been putting off installing after hearing the cradle has to be dropped. How hard was it to install yours?

I did the RSB myself but with rigid collars and FSB you need to drop the cross member at the front to install the FSB so that's why I did it together.

You'll need an alignment after rigid collar install.

I got coilovers and my exhaust installed already but no pics yet due to the weather.

Thanks, i guess i might as well pickup the Spoon FSB while i'm at it since i need to drop the subframe anyway

I don't think a stiffer front sway bar is needed on this car. The only way I would even consider it is if I was running R Comp tires. 200+ TW street tires? No. That's too much bar. The car pushes enough already. The stock 25mm bar is plenty in front.

To my surprise I got a package in the mail this weekend from a friend from Thailand as a belated birthday present.




Not really a fan of chrome but I got these Chrome Fog Light Garnish pieces. They sure make my fog lights look brighter at night. While at it, installed new LED lamps in the fog lights.

Tested out the knob off my s2000, Its countersunk to provide a shorter throw, youll notice how much shorter it sits in comparison to the stock knob, which is about the same dimensions.

I dont plan on keeping it on even though it fits great, I have a RS knob and boot on the way from the holy land.
