Okay, 3 things: it used to be red, I love the wide body kit, and I just noticed he did an Si steering wheel swap
Must have then lol.
I also repainted my brake calipers red tonight. Wasn't a fan of the black. Pics to follow.
Can't wait for pics, what did you use to strip/paint? Talking about your brakes hereQuote:

I used that to do VC's back in the day. Showed my friend and he went and defaced a truck of someone he didn't like. Went straight to the metal. Lol. Horrible I know but imagine a male body part on the side of a truck. HahaQuote:

Pics of coils when they arrive.
Parts look great! Word of advice though, the Hawk HPS will dust insanely. I know, I'm a firm believer of the saying "if they're not dusting, they're not working." But the Hawk PC (performance ceramic; the ceramic version of the HPS pads) work JUST as well and don't dust nearly as much. Street and track. :thumb:Quote:

I'm not talking about the HP+ though, but yes they are. Not a streetable pad eitherQuote:

those the "school bus squeak" brake pads that brent has?
I have hawk hps on my civic and love them. The dust is not bad IMO. I had ebc yellow stuff prior to the hawks and they dusted easily 10x as much.
Pics of the coils as promised. The quality seem great. Only problem is that the instructions are in Japenease.

As for them squeeling, I have never had a problem with squeeling on the RSX. [MENTION=49]boosted_teg[/MENTION] (Adam), Brent had HP+ on his Evo and you could hear him coming from blocks away. Ive never heard of HPS squeeling at all. But I will let you know.

I have buddy club coils on my civic and love them. Luckily there is a thread in 8th civic detailing how to set them up. You may want to call buddy club and ask them they might be able to help.
Can you repost it in the DIY section on the site? That way, we expand and create a vast archive of information.Quote:

And I replied to your pm 06 types
That would be good anyway, and you can say what you'd change. Thanks bud, post pics!Quote:

Did what I told you or the link help at all?
Not really. I'll try to adjust them this week.
Update. Took the car for its first drive of the year. All of 500 meters or so. We got the suspension installed on the car, however its not dialed in yet. For that im going to have to make a call to BRoycustomfabperformaceinc for his assistance. Next is hopefully new wheels and tires, and have a good 4 months of driving before the big move.
On with a few pics.

Bit of a small update.
After a lot of research there are not a lot of tire options remaining in NSX sizes (without setting off ABS/TCS lights). I have decided to just purchase a set of front tires for the time being, seeing how my rears are still in great shape. I went with the Yokohama S. Drives. I read some great reviews and seeing how they are fairly priced I decided to pick them up. They also make the size I want for the rear 265/35/18, so that will be good for when its time to order rears.
I also picked up a new right side front tie rod end and a set of 25mm spacers to hold me off until my rims reach state side for me to purchase. I decided to go with Enkei's new release for 2013. The Kojin in 17x8 +35, and 18x9.5 +30.
That's it for now. Hopefully inspection early next week and I'll be driving it once the snow all melts up.

Added the 25mm spacers in the rear and 15mm spacers in the front last night. Also installed the new tie rod end. Just waiting for the alignment tomorrow and then shes ready for SpeedSport and summer.
I still think the rear has to come down a bit and maybe the front end up a bit.
Pics!

Is that a gopro mount under your driver turn signal?
Yes it is. Good eye.
I got my fenders rolled yesterday thanks to BRoycustomfab&performanceinc. Had a small problem with the passenger side fender as it had a crack at the top and split a little bit more. I guess that gives me the excuse to get it welded and repainted.

Went to the store for diapers, then realized they didn't fit in the trunk. Huggies riding shotgun.

Also ordered new lugs for the wheels.
