Cool, btw, on your N+'s.. you didnt adjust ride height by spring correct? if you did, PM me and I can fix it for you. Should be adjusted via shock height.

Yeah, big difference. It prevents your car from bottoming the shock out. I had the BuddyClub RSD's on my RSX. And theres more reasoning.. but yeah. Id rather save you from it.

finally got a night off work and decided to do a few little thing on the inside

Before i started i was just doing some interior cleaning and found this


anyways started tucking some wires in the trunk, and removing ones that werent being used.






took out my rear seat belts and seat latches





all i got out tonight weighed about 10lbs suprisingly. hopefully finish up the tuck along the back wall of the trunk tomorrow

laterss
