Looks like a good start. BaysonR lip fits fine from what I've seen.

In for this one, I love AP1's. That's very clean

Any plans for the JDM headlights or the Rick's corners?

My Fortune-Autos shipped this week, can't wait to try em out.

Not at this time. My headlights are pretty mint.



What made you go with the Fortune Auto over others?? I'm torn on what to get.

Both coil choices seem like overkill for a weekend car.

Don't forget drive shaft spacers when you lower it. Not having those jacked my axles up.

I went back and forth deciding what suspension setup I wanted to go with and I ended up with:

Koni Yellow Shocks
Swift Spec-R Springs

I just ordered fortune auto for my CRX. But it's a k20 track mobile so we have different goals.

I have little to update, but I have a lot of tracking numbers. I found a local store that carries Amsoil. They have the Signature Series Synthetic 10w30 Motor Oil, but they don't have 75w110 Severe Gear. Going to have to order.

PS: My S has the starter grind. Going to re-grease it at some point. Heard its a PITA.

In other news ... I cleared off a shelf for parts and snapped an engine bay pic.

I know you lift Brice, curious what your waste size is (no homo). I'm 6'4' 230 with a 33 waist and it's hard to find a bucket seat I like without my shoulders hating life.
