It does have a silencer, at idle its pretty quiet as I can sneak home late at night without waking the neighbours, but from a cold start, the first few mins as the engine is warming up is too loud for the mornings.

Will I most likely experience the same problem from a Fujitsubo, I've never heard it from a cold start before?

i was looking into hasports, i was advised they were the best for that 'sporty feel' and mugen mounts.. i wouldn't know the first place to look for them lol id love some mugen mounts, i heard theyre super durable too

Ahhhh, everytime i look at the angles of my tie rods it makes me scared, i gotta do something >_< i did read about people putting mods on their inverted tie rod ends to stop dust and dirt getting into the ball joint. That might help abit

thanks for your comment Steve.

i am trying to keep the factory tie rod end if i can so probably bracket is the way to go (may as well get this when i grease the rack). i'd wait for Jibz's comment when he is done.

BTW, bump steer is not when the steering wheel moves as a result of hitting bumps on the road. Bump steer is when the suspension compresses/rebounds and any change in toe that occurs as a result, so much so that the cars trajectory is altered. (Thats the gist of it, from what I gathered)

Hope that helps!

thanks mate. please keep us posted.

if u don't mind, how much did the bracket cost shipped? did u buy from 0857 off clubRSX? also please let us know what washers and o-rings u got. very much appreciated.

yeah i'm aware what constitute bump steer. at the moment, the handling seems predictable so i'm not too concern but i know my alignment isn't ideal as i did a temp one after installing coilovers and waiting for the springs to settle.

cheers

all the same bro, hasport, innoavative, avid u name it all the same, they use either 60A 70A or 80A bushings the lower the softer they are so for street 60A would be best, 80A if ur goin high HP and track racing etc while mugens feel like stock just stronger so they wont leak and crack

take a ride in another ep3 members car with 60a mounts and u will see
