Installed the OEM keyless entry system in my 07 Base last night. Took about an hour, mainly because of some really tight spaces that require a few acrobatics to reach. Regardless, it works like a charm and is completely awesome.

I have my coil overs set up with the car raised up high enough that I can now drive without bumping the tires into the fenders and the lip and oil pan into the road surface or speed bump... The car is more of a pleasure to drive than it has ever been... It's not as smooth as it was with the Swift springs but they caused more of a clearance problem in the front end and I can now use larger tires... I have the rear dampers set a little too stiff for a long drive but the can be adjusted in seconds. Mugen replica front end J's type grille and black projector head lights will be picked up Sunday.

Did a proper burn out last night...granted it was a lil wet outside, but to see my A/T fit hit the rev limiter and stay motionless for as long as it did, and then not get traction in second gear...made my night!

It's a 2007 model and MNfit is right, the lights are from honda_david's car in Houston... I'm hoping the bumper will have more room behind it than the stock bumper.... I'm not getting the results I want from the small under hood inter cooler when the ambient temperature is over 65 degrees and think a front mount I/C with cooling fans would help out... The lights and bumper will look really good on my car......

26th January 2012:
Took my car to my local tyre fitters to have the front suspension laser aligned.
Here are my figures...

Front
Total toe: -2.0mm (Toe Out)
Half toe: -1.0mm (Toe Out)
Camber: -1.75 degrees

Rear*
Total toe: +1.0mm (Toe In)
Half toe: +0.5mm (Toe In)
Camber: -1.15 degrees

* = Note: I didn't have the rear adjusted as its a fixed beam axle.

Steve.

The J's Racing lip looks great on your car. Do you have a build thread on here?
