the wing needs to go! lol :)
I was actually thinking of removing my stock wing. And replacing it with a ducktail (is that how it's called), or a Mugen wing. Just wondering how abouts do we go about covering up the holes?Quote:

Havent done much, just DIY the wing myself, cut off that triangle shit in the middle, filled it up and painted it.
hope its not registered in your name, if the police scan it and see a p plater owns it, you could stand out more ;-)
i know that the type r/mugen wing will cover up the holes cause ive asked the guy with the white fd (with the type r kit) if he had an original spoiler on his car before he put on his type R and he said yeah, the type r wing covers the holes. Not sure about the ducktail thoughQuote:

I have a physics question for you guys.
So I've installed the HIDs few days ago, everything was fine.
Except, I'm not sure if it's me or, it seems that the light emitted seems to be aimed lower than standard halogen? I'm not sure if it's just normal, and the HID is just intensifying the normal beam pattern on the road.
In otherwords, it feels like I have to align the headlights HIGHER not lower.
I think is it due to the HID being a much longer bulb, and the light emitted sits right into the "cone" of our headlights? While the halogens, the light bulb doesn't even reach that cone. (hope that makes sense).
So am I being crazy, or is there some reasoning around there.?
Am srs =[Quote:

When I lived in a rural area and started work really early you really appreciated how good they were. Everyone commented on how bright my lights were, but I never got
flashed or got complaints.
I always wondered about this myself.
so was IQuote:

please learn and understand what mod you do before just fitting it on

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to EKVTIR-T again.

Oh I know that, I bought the Lights willing to throw them away, just wanted to see how good/bad the light scattering is. But with the ones I have currently, they almost mimic the halogen pattern, and it's 2 very distinct lights, not all merged and glarey like the one titled "reflector based"Quote:

http://www.jdmconcept.com.au/part/cu...fd1-1.8l-06-11
The cusco rear sway bar is thicker by 1mm, but besides that there isn't that much difference between the two.
The more thicker the more better?Quote:

If you were me, what would you gonna get? save more money to get the Cusco or ultra racing are good enough?
thanks lolmclol
If you're using it for street use, I'd say ultra racing, if you're using it for the track go with Cusco.
But if you want the extra strength go with the Cusco, but if its just something to do go with ultra racing.
would get front strut bar always
consider it a steering enhancement rather than handling mod as in every car ive felt before and after it sharpens the steering feel so in that case its cheap imo
$100-200 to increase steering feel and tightness is worth it
dont bother with a rear one,you wont feel anything
Chassis at the front is tight enough man, you really don't notice it, I've got one.Quote:

Hey jprak, you ain't the only two-tone FD in town.
Driving down the hume hwy @ Bass hill. Saw a black(or could be sparkle grey) pulling out of the caltex. With white mugen side skirts, and white side fenders (that section around the wheel, I think that's what it's called). White Mugen rear view mirror cover, and those L-shaped Merc DRL in the foglight area. and a bunch of toys across the dash.
Didn't get a picture though, was .. interesting choice of colour
Lol! Mines better! Jks my car will be getting painted before jdmyard meet
