I really think its the oil. My whole set-up is hps sri, medalion muffler & suspension. The only thing that changed recently is the oil.

Apparently Buyee and Tenso now have special policy about this kind of thing, (Buyee and Tenso are the same company)...
Last night I try to bid on several Recaro Seat Rail, Ohlins Coil Over and Recaro Belt Cover. and somehow Buyee prevent me from bidding it before they review.
After they review, they refuse to let me bid on those item above at Yahoo action citing that the items above is prohibited to be shipped to USA..
what the heck...

Buyee is having that free yahoo auction buying fee sale, and I thought I want to take advantage of this ...
but the only item they approve me to bid and bought is the BBS wheel...
oh well... looks like I had to wait longer for the other items...

I got a promo sticker for a friend's tattoo shop. With a little trimming, it should fit on the gas cap perfectly. I don't know why, but I think something like that adds a certain interesting effect. It breaks up the monotony of the colour in just the right way.

Replaced my front and rear wiper blades today, also had to readjust the driver wiper; for some reason it wasn't positioned corrently on the windshield.

Also, would you guys recommend me something brighter for my foglight ? They are too dim and I'm looking for something brighter in white preferably.

Definitely get some LED fogs. Since you're running 8k HIDs, I would recommend getting 8k fogs also. I prefer 6k, but that's just me.

I'm running some DDM tuning 3k Hids in the fogs and it's super bright. I think you would be set with some 5k Hids from them.

did you use a hid kit relay when installing your fog hids? I'm planning to do the exact same with 3K hid fog kit.. just looking at options and if I should use a relay to the battery

No no relay kit required. The assembly plugs into the existing fog light harness on the car. No need to run anything to the battery.

Plus ddm has a lifetime warranty.


P.S.- Sti lip looks good as is

Ditto on the sti LIP, no carbon fiber!

Also, how much did you spend on the DDM ? I don't think lifetime warranty is a plus for me since I'm overseas. I'm actually thinking on getting some LED H11 6000k for my fit. But I don't know, I don't want to spend that much but definitely want something better than what I have right now.
