I used to want the whole shebang-- front mid and lower tie bars and all but I know I wouldn't do anything but damage those bars with my height now; my exhaust is almost always taking a beating already

Ultraracing good though! I like the Cusco ones too-- nice blue.

 

I couldn't even leave my driveway at your ride height

 

Finally got tracking numbers for my T1R exhaust after 8 months of waiting for A&J Racing. Group buy coilovers are also supposedly shipping, but who knows. Definitely will not be using that company again...

 

Wow you sir are very patient

I would not have waited that long

 

Haha I'm barely making it out mine! I was thinking of raising her up just a hair because of the constant scrap-age-- but it looks too good to me haha.
If I ever want a mugen lip on I'd definitely have to raise her up-- or park on the street.

 

I would raise your car up a tad bit but that's just me I couldn't go anywhere in my neighborhood otherwise lol!

You definitely don't want to damage a Mugen lip

 

Yea I think I might raise it up for a while. And ferreall-- $400+ isn't worth getting bashed up

 

bought a set of blizzak ws70s. tirerack says it will get delivered today. let's see!

 

If you want a Mugen lip hit me up when your ready.

 

Noted!

Installed the jdm cup holder ambient lights.

 

Those look awesome!

 

this brace is mounted at the same bolts the front lower control arm is mounted. there is big rubber bushing installed at this mount point.
that brace help that this bushing will not move so much in corners.

i feel a better cornering and a lover understeer in curves.

 

^How does the brace reinforce the bushing? Or does it remove or replace the bushing with one that is made out of a harder material?

 

Drove down to the beach today since I have the day off, surf is flat though

There is still rain forecasted today so I won't get a chance to wash my car but going to try to clean my interior at little at least

With all due respect, that is not going to be a detectable difference by just adding a brace under the car

What you're potentially feeling is a placebo effect. The only brace that actually makes any difference is the fender braces but again you will never feel it.

I would still run that brace to protect the underbody as I had previously stated but there is no way you're going to feel the affect.

How to I know this? I have contacts at the manufacturer of those products and even they confirmed this to me for their own versions

 

Would have to agree with that assesment. Chassis bracing is really a sum of all the parts. One little brace isn't going to give you a noticeable difference. When combined with the rest of the under braces, roll bars, strut bars, roll cage, firm suspension, etc...that's when it makes a difference.

I am probably going to pick up a Progress rear sway bar soon though. Hear a lot of good things about it.

 

Yep I agree wholeheartedly, you need to add all the braces, and even stitch-weld the chassis for it to make a real difference on the track

 

Nothing on the fit, but added a few more parts to the new heart going in

 

Win.

 

Gave the interior a quick cleaning with the Chemical Guys microfiber wash, and then cleaned the floormats too which were a little crusty from last weeks rain.

I then decided to remove my rear hatch cover since I had a piece of broken plastic in there from when I changed out my LED bulbs. I broke about 4 of the clips and the cover won't reattach so I bought some more clips online and will reattach the cover later in the week

I knew that I was going to break a few of the clips and I was trying to delay removing the cover but the stupid rattle of the plastic piece inside the cover was driving me nuts

Nice!
