Looking good Chris, I hope you got home safely.

Well, nothing new to really update about, other than I ordered some light bulbs thanks Stik11 for the help. I got the chrome amber turn signals, hyper white parking bulbs, and a blue led dome light for the interior. Yesterday I jacked up my rear off the rear diff and set it down on my car ramps. I then adjusted the rear endlinks so they wouldn't be at any angle...stupid things! Also set the rear sway bar to the stiffest setting....it really felt alot better and was much more tighter in the rear. Just waiting on getting the bulbs, exhaust, and exhaust hangers. Heres a poll: Should I get the Tanabe Springs now and wait a while to get coilovers or, just wait, save up, and get the coilovers? If I got the springs, I prob wouldn't get the coilovers till atleast another year later.....let me know guys!

Wow the red light interior worked out pretty well. I guess I will have to do this too

I painted my console flat black, it came out pretty good in fact, easy....except the stupid idiotic spring for the ashtray door....OMG that thing...

Nice chris....polls are a gift.

Im thinking of getting the Tic rear diff bushings and the Klunk Killer. any experience wiht those?

Chris05STi · 02-14-2006, 07:12 AM

The TiC rear Klunk Killer is the whole package with the Kartboy Bushings and TiC bushings as well. They eliminate the popping noise/feeling you may get when in WOT and slamming it into gears!

^^ My next purchase

Yea dude, get some springs. Your list is WAY too long to be savin any dough for coil overs.
I am loving the red light interior, I gotta do my HVAC & door switches. Who was the guru of the group on that?
I vote to relocate the front plate ALA sport bike style.....you've seen it, looks much cleaner.
Keep it up cracker.
