How did you like the Progress set up? I've been thinking of picking some up, but the spring rates are a bit softer then I'd like.

I didn't have one in the pic with the te's. I have an avid racing bar now. My buddy has a full race one and it hangs mad low.

They were great for street duty, handling didn't seem too bad but I didn't do that kind of driving. They can tailor a setup to whatever you want. Just gotta call them, they've got a great staff there.

Got my wish yesterday, I raced a Celica GTS (2ZZ) from about a 20 roll, I'm assuming he was in 2nd as well, and I pulled on him really good, but we stopped at about 65mph, and I was ahead of him by at least a car. So many factors though, he had exhaust, but it sounded leaky. A stock one might run better, and I would like a good fair race from a dig. LSD is my advantage, but the 2ZZ 6-speed has shorter gears, plus variable cam timing. My B18C is pretty potent though, and my Type-R exhaust looks stock. I just put Honda MTF in the Y21 today, the shop I had change my clutch/flywheel put regular 10w30 in it. LSD no likey.

Eh, I hate when people do that. I had a newer Hyundai Genesis keep messing with me today. It was just annoying. I normally just ignore it, but this guy kept slowing down just to speed past me so I could hear his little turbo. So just before my turn, I got beside him, and made his ears bleed with the spec II as I went by (even though I know my stock b18c wouldn't win in a straight line) . I'm not proud of that, but when I just want to get home and some guy is being a jack ***, I'll do what I have to so he leaves me alone.

Lol dnt lie you know their were more options then flying past him. just the one you chose was the more macho one hahaha.
i always got people doing the same thing to me when i used to drive my car funny thing is it was rarely honda's usually the diesel guys or v8 guys were the ones that would try to mess around with me, my car in town was pretty quiet till you open it up it was pretty loud and i had a stock looking 2.5 inch muffler in the back too so they probably just thought it was a single cam hatch lol i never really do much though because its not the smartest thing to do in town but sometimes id give them the ol 1st gear to vtec pull LOL

Well my option was either speed up and get in front of him, or show down so I could make my turn. Well he was slowing down again and had other cars behind him.. so honestly, the only way I could make my turn was to go past him. I didn't have to do it so abruptly lol, but like I said, he pushed my buttons for like 10 min. It was only 2nd gear to about 50 mph anyhow. The spec II is just loud regardless
