So after getting off my lazy *** I finally got around to installing the PIC bushings and control arms. I've got about 1000 miles on them so far, probably another 1000 miles will be put on before I head down to CMP for We-todd 3.

My thoughts on the product.....

After getting the pieces from Chris (elaum) they sat in the garage for awhile while I compiled a parts list for the local Honda dealership. I replaced a lot of stuff while I was in there, some necessary, some not.





The PIC arms looked pretty, I wasn't a huge fan of the white but figured the function out weighed that. All the arms looked just like the stock pieces (they are factory pieces), def a difference in the bushings. The rear lower arms have spherical bushings, the rear trailing arm bushings are hard rubber, and all others are poly urethane. The bushings were nice and stiff, most noticeable was the RTA bushings. All parts "looked" to be of great quality.

The work was completed at my friends Honda dealership so that we could get the car on the alignment rack immediately after. Started around ten, figured it would only take a few hours(the crack from the night before must have clouded our judgment), lol!

The caR.....



The work....









Front









Rear...notice i painted the RTA's black












The finished product....







And after installing a secret security feature..... (dont ask, I wont tell you)



Throughout this process I picked up some ricer seats from hyperash and a new stock head unit from BlackFire. Thanks guys

The car drives ridiculously well, everything tightened up a lot. Steering feels better, more responsive, braking is nice and tight. Car feels excellent. Obviously it wont get its real work out til cmp in November, I'll be sure to update afterward. So far everything seems awesome, more stoked than I thought I would be

To top it all off I'm stoked that some more close friends are buying up some ITR's!!

LOL. That is great. I think he should change his SN to LittleNolan or Nolan'sBrother.

Besides that, car looks great! I wish I could afford those nice parts!

Unfortunately the only person I knew that did that was you...... I'm in the process of looking for a place. Alignment has already been done.

 

Car looks sweet and i'm sure there will be added performance. Love the fact you got these parts and will be using them Jim.

Looking forward to the "Fire" at We-Todd.

 

Nice, I am jealous. I haven't been able to do anything good to my ITR yet. I spent all my money on the damn car! I might have kept the rear arms white though, unless it looked too wierd (which is why i figured you painted them). Good job, i have the same craftsman tool chest. Woot for returnable tools.

 

I would have kept them white too, but thats because I'm a hard parker at heart. Jim is function + baller parts.

 

looks good man let us know how they feel out there

I have heard of people changing their SNs, in the past it was much easier though. I'm sure a PM to a mod could answer the question. I personally would rather have it changed than start from scratch.

 

Damn Jim, ur R looks
