Good job. Definitely looks a lot better without the pinstripe.

Im trying to figure out something small to do to my car. I've gotten kind of bored with it and figure it would help if I would do something. I going to spend a little bit of my Christmas money. I want to spend about $150. I was thinking a Scanguage II, 22mm TL RSB, DC front strut bar, just something along those lines. I would like to do brakes but I dont want to spend enough to do all 4 corners. Any ideas or suggestions?

if you havent done the rear sway bar.... def def do it
i have the 22mm progress technology rear sway and it completely changed the handling of the car.... very worth it and makes the ddaily driver alot more fun

You need an intake!!!!

I would have bought that intake from you Jeremy when you first posted it for sale if my Dad wasnt a nazi. I was leaning toward the rsb. Is your rsb comprable to the acura one, Nick?

[slipkord]

I totally understand Bill, parents suck, I know because I am one lol

Well, I just ordered the TL-S 20mm rsb. I need to go get a left link because I stripped it during my spring install. I shopped around online and the minimum shipping I saw was 15, so I am just going to get it from my dealer. It cost $46.32.

I went to my dealer to pick up the end link and they wanted $90.00 because they only sell them in pairs. So, I'm going to get one at Autozone for 12.99. With the Eibach Pro-Kit, stock struts, and crappy Kumho tires, should I upgrade the front? I dont want to do the FSB because Im not comfortable doing that in my garage. I like the way the DC sports one looks but is that enough to compensate for the upgraded RSB and stock FSB? I have seen a few people with ebay strut bars, do those help?

I'd say that the ebay strut tower bar helped out a lot. Plus it was $25 as opposed to $100 or whatever for the DC one, lol. The roll isn't completely gone, but it removed a lot of it. Right now with me having the front ebay STB, and the rear TL-S 20mm, I'd say it's a good combo. The only thing I would do is get the OEM front strut tower brace next to improve the front even more. You may not have as much roll as I do since you're lowered. I believe the OEM STB is like 60-70 bucks new. The DIY on here looks annoying though. You have to fiddle with the wiper blades and some shit, lol.

Thanks Jeff. I'll check one of those out at some point. At the moment after the seat covers and RSB I'm broke. My rsb came in yesterday. I'm not sure when I will be able to install it, but hopefully soon.

Good luck with that. If you need any help, just send me a PM. Although, it's pretty straightforward. I highly recommend bending the exhaust hanger while you're at it too, because it'll eventually rub its way through your RSB. I had to jack the back of the car up though to get enough leverage. Just find a strong pipe to use. If you're completely unable to find one, I could ship you the bar that I used, lol.

The TL-S RSB is installed and it is awesome. It is most definitely the best mod for the money. It had a greater impact on handling then my springs did. Well guys, I think I am done with the car. I plan to do some paint work within the next few months but a part from that, I'm done. I think it has come a long way and I am pleased. I know it is only very lightly modded but I think it is much better then what it was. The only "mod" I can see my self doing would be a front strut bar or something... I dont really know.

[CrackerTeg]

Bill, the modding has only just begun! You will never be done until you sell it. Trust me. There's always something you want to do to it.

[wtcii]

I know there will always be stuff I want to do, but as far as what is practical and I can do, I'm limited.
