you have to take the grill off to put on the emblem.

and you dont have to take off bumper.

i didnt, but wish i did, because putting the grill back on was a bitch.

I see no "build".

Shouldn't this be in the appearance and cosmetic section?

happy auto-xing

Ahh, I didn't know you already had the coilovers Install. What rates are your coilovers? Also get a good alignment (like 2.5+ in the front and like 1* in the rear). and some good tires.I recommend the new Dunlop Direzza Z1 star spec's I just have the regular Z1, because I'm an impatient bastard.

Also, just concentrate on taking good lines and not trying to go as fast as you can.

but i do plan on getting Tein FLEX Dampers, along with Inverted Tie Rods, and a Skunk2 Camber kit, all at the same time.

i actually REALLY need tires atm. but trying 2 squeeze the **** out of them, because i dont want to change them w/ plans of picking up work emotions kai in bronze size 17x8 +32.

but thanks on the info on the alignment and tires i appreciate it.

Also I recommend any that has rear spring rates that are significantly higher in the rate (I.E. BC RSD- 10k/16K, BC N+ 10k/14K) Another plus would be being able to get them revalved for higher springrates (progress does I know, and buddy club will do it for for like 200-250 for the front and like 150 for the rears I think.)

I think its time for you to put money in away in a "k-pro fund"

I agree, one of the best upgrades for k-series motor, and also some motor mounts would be good too

just installed the side markers.

got the ES Motor Mounts.

took my car to Acura to fix the blown motor mount, and turned out all were [freak]ed.

so need 2 show up later this week to do it.

but later on the way home, it got so bad that a chuck fell off, and now the car vibrates nonstop. so its really [freak]ing gay. and granny shiftin ftl.

will install the rest of the **** later this week, and get ready for the next auto-x race on the 8th. :D

but heres the pics of the sidemarkers.

well thats true and not true at the same time...

for example i know must other places, like northern states, have events at least every week. and yea, people wont be doing that as actively for it becomes really costly,

but then south florida for example sux ***.

most you get in a month is hopefully 2 events, but usually 1.

and the drive is about 1 1/2 hours for me as well, but i can dedicate that 1 day to drive to the event.

so if you can do at least 1 event in a month its all good, but most people dont do event 1 event in their lifetime which is what i believe Pat_S was mentioning.

lol thanks man.

but yea thats pretty much it though.

n gonna put back the fogs when they get here then the appearance should be fine.

well except 4 wider rims, bucket seats, etc. but those all affect performance so i wouldnt count that as appearance

and prob would do maybe a couple little things or eye candy's.

what are the measurements on those sidemarkers? did you use a template or put them where you thought looked best? did you have to rewire anything or were there already plugs in there prewired? also were those ebay fogs?

lookin good so far man

the sidemarkers were from passwordjdm.

i had used a template found on cubrsx

but i think the passwords are a littlr bit wider in the inside so needed to cut a little more.

either way came out perfect imo.

would take some better pics when i was the car.

and yea the fogs were from ebay.

but it was like a crappy pair cuz tons of people had them and never had problems.
