Newest MOD for my RS 2.0 *PICS INSIDE* (Cost me blood!)
 
Spent an hour or two yesterday installing my springs. I used Tanabe DF210's. I spent the extra few bucks to get the dress up white ones instead of the *shudders*......pink/purplish ones.

The rear springs were a breaze to put on! The struts on the other hand were something else....

Here are some pics: *Remember now that the FRONT springs haven't completely settled and won't be for a few days! The rear on the other hand, settled within the hour*

Well then, of course you have to" flaunt what you got", and with that said......trying to keep it clean........------>Hidden decal! \/\/\/\/

Lastly.........you can't go without a few battle scars. These.....believe it or not, only came from puttin the rear in. When the rear suspension dropped after jiggling the shock loose........(the edges are SHARP)........my hand was in the wrong place at the wrong time:

I have even worse on my forearms, elbows, and palms from hassling with puttin the strut assembly back into the control arms!




So what does everyone think!?



Oh yes.......and i'm dying for a sponsor!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I may be alone on this but I am not crazy about the yellow boxes. But that's another topic.
I think the black wheels on the yellow look sick! Now you need to get that top grille in black. That would look amazing! Nice job!

I like the "bumblebee" look myself. Black that grille and then black those taillights! Nice work.

I think you should've got some gloves. lol

looks awesome though, a big thumbsup to DIY'ers.

djct_watt 04-27-2005 12:32 AM

that's a clean box. . . and their OneTonGarage spacers, not Precision Muffler Branded. Precision Muffler is just a OTG spacer dealer. Contact Stylis aka Gabe aka Precision Muffler.

The ride is good! Very firm. Not too boucy Definetly hugs the road.

After i installed yesterday, i took it on the hwy for a test drive, and cut the steering wheel real quick to the right to change lanes, and I got SANDWICHED into the door!!! Handles VERY WELL now! Someone should get this setup skidpad tested, see what the lateral G is.

I'm not a fan of those tails. Looks like a traffic light. People get behind those and stay there til' it turns green! Haha. Looks good though in another way with the black outerhousing

I'm just waiting for something....."cleaner"

Mooneyzs 04-27-2005 02:00 AM

pharynx 04-27-2005 02:32 AM
