Suntzu's Mod Log

ok.

M3 Style Lip spolier is in. Looks ok.

Pics soon.

Got confirmation on the ingalls and a few other bits.

Busy week coming up!


Only place left for a suspension install is Quickfit/Jax who may give me a discount if i get tyres at the same time...hmm..i want the best alignment tho no matter the cost. I see it as a safety issues when wife drives teh beast!

Ill sit on the header issue for week or so...

Tein Super Street Coilovers are in and the Cusco Strur bar came 10 mins laters. Looks like quality parts to me esp the tein.

Im expecting the Tein SS, Cusco and Ingalls in about 5-6working days. Euro-r grill in aweek or so.

Have to try and install the RSB myself with a buddy. Should be ok.

Im getting quoted $414 for the Tein installation and alignment? Is that about right pricewise?

Back to headers, the problem for me is that $1200+ headers arent allowed in my mod budget. Its purely an arbitary amount im limiting myself to. Then you go straight down to the elcheapo ebay headers.. not much in the $500-$800 header range at the moment.

more to come

Why dont you consider Xforce headers I think its about $399 in S/S

Thats looks very good actually. Is this an australian only product or can I read about it here and other tSX forums.

PS: My CUSCO Strut Bar arrived today its like Xmas here!

I have a feeling it is the same as the ebay (DC copy) version, well they look pretty close for the similar $$$ and you can get them locally.

Even though it is cheap you will notice a change in driving. However with any upgrade in yr exhaust you will not get any max gain without dyno tune.

Yes it does look very simlar doesnt it. I did a search and cant find much on it.

Im booked for 4 new tyres, the full install of the Tein, RSB and camber kit. I have got the camber kit yet so im hoping it arrives by thursday. Its about $400 for the full install and setup. The alignment is part of the new tyres deal.

Hopefully should go well.

cheers

Looks good.Can't wait to pick mine up.:p

Cheers Tony.

Im getting Michelin G-force 225/40/r18. Price not to bad at $270 each fitted. I decided not to pony up for the Sport Maxx/dunlp f1 as I was getting $390 a tyre. Rather spend that on mods like headers etc.
