Oh also what exactly does the spoon rigid collars do? Where do they go?
Love the jdm mugen floor mats, I thought about them, but I track too much dirt and junk on my shoes to ruin 200 dollar floor mats.
Hi Mr. Hollow,
Thanks
The FRONT Spoon Rigid Collar suppose to make the slack due to make it easy/fast during mass assembly (production line) when they bolted everything together,
to no slack at all...
personally, I don't think we ever feel the different during normal road driving,
I just bought it for the sake of modifying my car and perhaps it would make the alignment more true
they go on all the bolt that connect the front subframe to the car body and to the lower control arm...
it's just like a washer with an extra neck...
now, the rear Spoon Rigid Collar for the rear axle on the other hand,
I think will make a lot of differences since sometimes I feel the rear axle wiggle when I drive on a freeway with lots of grooves
I already bought the rear Spoon rigid collar sets like 2 years ago...
but I had not install it since I am still not done with my rear brake and front brake modification...
hopefully I can install all this brake modification by the end of this year...
I already have almost all the parts... just need to make custom caliper bracket for front and rear and buy another tire for the spare wheel...oh and buy a custom front stainless steel brake line...
That rigid collar kit is on my list. I feel like that and the progress RSB should be just about "enough" suspension mods for a street car. Might do a little bit of chassis stuff, too (I'm thinking J's fender braces should stiffen up the front the right amount without taking on any understeer). We'll see where funding goes.
I thought I was just about done with the GE, ready to buy a full time project. But then I thought "Why not just have an awesome daily?"
Found a place willing to do my windshield for 2/3 the cost of my original quote. Going down to talk to them and make an appointment if they stick to their price.
I just ordered the Yonaka full catback exhaust. I should get it in a week or so. It's only $249.00 with free shipping on Amazon. It's an awesome deal. I'll post a video when I get it all installed.
How did you fit those fogs in your base bumper? could u post closer pics?
These are foglights for the civic 01-03, I have the base model and I had to do a little cut/adaptation to the grill on the bumper. Final product looks nice, I spent about $30 vs what you could spend getting the $200 OEM product; although it fits nice on the bumper ,I think I was looking for a more "custom" look. But this is up to you, in the end, I will be swapping this bumper to the sport one so I didn't want to spend a lot.

This Mirror repeal water and also dim at night from bright head light, plus it look good (bluish) under sunlight, with the nice looking Mugen Logo
I just realized the dimming quality is so good that when I took the pictures below with flashlight in a distance of few inches from the mirror,
it still able to dim the FLASH light... and make the reflection clear
i have a non mugen blue hydrophilic mirror too. don't think i can ever do without the increased view and the tinting. the hydrophilic properties dont work so well though.
