I ordered my front strut and should be coming in next week.
Taillight tints being installed next week.
Gene installed sparkplugs for me. Once again, he goes out of his way to help out people. Thanks Gene.

Now here are the updates... Some may surprise you...

New Vibrant 3' inlet/outlet exhaust. Yes I know it looks weird, I'll have the spoiler on today.

Thanks Gene...

Thanks Gene... ahahhaha

Thank you Lammy...

Spoiler + exhaust + blackhoused headlights + brembo brake pics

Now the shocker...

Its a floorbar. It acts as a stabilizer and it connects from one end of the chassis to the other. It serves the same purpose as a rear sway bar or a front strut bar, to stiffen the chassis and reduce flex. Most people who autoX have it. Mine is set to the tightest setting, and I can definitely feel the improvement in my chassis on turns. Let me know if anyone wants this

I can get this for you and its easy to install.

lolll. Its a floorbar. It acts as a stabilizer and it connects from one end of the chassis to the other. It serves the same purpose as a rear sway bar or a front strut bar, to stiffen the chassis and reduce flex. Most people who autoX have it. Mine is set TIGHT. I can definitely feel the difference on freeway onramps.

Here's one on the Subaru WRX STi

Ah. I see. Nice but not practical for me. I'll need that area since I have people sitting in the back and for packages.

Its bolted on or welded? Kind of hard to tell. I can see that the carpet was cut on the STi but on yours, it looks like the bars are adjustable and you tightened the middle. On the passenger side, I see there is a bracket that allows bolting as well.

PM me if you're serious

You'd be surprise on how good of a price I can get. These are WAY thicker than the sway and strut bars.

. No point in having it when it will be a real family car in the next 1-3 years. My TSX retro is my last and final...expensive mod. I would love to get the H&R springs but we'll see. GF would kill me if I spent anymore and MrSoohoo would hold it against me if I spent anymore

. Told him I wouldnt. LOL. I would love to get rims too but I think I'll spend that $1k or so and put it towards an engagement ring/wedding.

*sigh* I wish I was young and had the income to do these things
