Hi Guys, Thanks

Family Wagon,
this is why I sell my Bilstein and get the Ohlins,
because the Ohlins have much higher spring rate at 7k front,
that it cut the noise dive at least 70% compare to the Bilstein...
because of that,
when I bed in the brake yesterday (I wrote the detail on my DIY thread),
when I slam the brake, the car had very little noise dive
and the rear still keep planted to the ground...
I credit this good weight transfer behaviour to the Ohlins

Now, after I install the JDM RS Rear Axle with JDM Integra Type R (red) caliper, this will get even better,
since now the rear axle will have more braking power,
and will shift the bias to the rear even more compare
to the current drum brake one...
I just need to order a new custom rotor for the rear axle
because my current 12in custom rotor is too small
since I was designing it to use the standard JDM Fit RS rear caliper,
but in the middle of the project, I decide to change to a much bigger
JDM Integra Type R (red) caliper...

Hopefully I can install my JDM RS Rear Axle in 1 months or so

Now you have enough stopping power for that supercharger.

I know, problem is,
I don't have enough money to buy the Boomslang wire harness and AEM F/IC-6 for now...
so I don't know when I can install the Sprintex...


hopefully K-Tuner will have all the Beta features available soon,
since K-Tuner is cheaper then buying boomslang wire harness plus AEM F/IC-6 combo,
but I won't buy K-Tuner if it is not came with all the Beta features
like the Injector Sizing and the expanded tables...

actually if I have money now,
I need to secure a pair of
Recaro SR-7 ASM Limited Ruby since they will be discontinued soon,
I just hope if somehow I lose the chance and they run out before I can buy them,
hopefully
the next Recaro model that replace the SR-7 will still be compatible with the current Recaro rail since I already bought the Recaro Rail...
otherwise it would be a waste of rail...

I really need to get more money... somehow hahaha

You definitely want two tone to accentuate the curve...

some other member here bought the same Mugen Replica side skirts,
and at first he paint it all white (one color),
but then later he change it to two tone...

I see lots of cars all the time, yours absolutely stands above the rest. You set an objective and achieve it, no rigged hacked BS at all. Great job

I'd go for the black/red combo; looks better.

In another note, I just ordered the foglight Kit for my sport bumper; Picking up the bumper tomorrow and the fogs and lower grill should be here by end of the week.

Quick question.

I need the wiring harness for the foglights, I already have the switch/button assembly and I was looking through the forums for people that have done the base to sport conversion, part numbers that came up for the harness are 08V31-TK6-10030 and 08V31-TK6-10031.

Question is, are they both the same or do I need to order them both ?

From the diagrams I see online, it looks like you need both-- 30 connects the switch to the fogs and 31 is for the fogs. Just my guess though, hope someone else clarifies it.

Cool, muchas gracias!

I would like to know if there's a cheaper alternative.
