will do sir

[manahoonie]

here's the pics of my strut bars and such... i just threw in the upper strut, even though everyone and their grandma's know what a Neuspeed upper strut looks like

Front Upper Strut (yea yea yea, engine's stock, but it got me across the country and back just the same! )




Front Lower X-Brace (yes, i've found my share of parking curbs...not speed bumps that i recall....but one or two 'dips' in road with a hill immediately after...at a little speed too)








Rear Upper Strut (purchased from a company in Canada that imports JDM parts...all parts came in HONDA packaging w/ part numbers) appears grey either from dust off back of trunk carpeting, or overspray from body shop painting after repairs from being rear-ended.








current reason for not being lowered: (driveway)




(and that's with the trunk empty, and no one in the car!)

damn ...that mean i cant install the x bar on my car lol...i would hate to drive up ur driveway lol

[manahoonie]

phone's 4 inches tall, so the bottom of the bar is somewhere around 5.5 inches off the ground...
there's a double-X made by D3....but i have heard recently that they discontinued it or something....
i was glad to get my x-brace from neuspeed before they raised their prices!

the driveway's not too bad... there's a small sidewalk along the street in front of my house that i'm able to park on. It's just in front of our house too...parking for guests i guess? I just have to park in the driveway on trash-nights...

the thing that sucks more is the squirrels and pine trees! I have a few dimples on my roof from pinecones, either loosened by squirrels or weather :P

saw your car on sunday... its a nice start. i really like your window visors and side mirrors. i was the one you came up to first when you asked if we were from 7thgenhonda. i was actually hanging out with my other crew (Astig), they were the ones parked across from me near the water.

exactly...that drive way is not anywhere near steep. that driveway is actually pretty good since it gradually goes up. If you were to go at an angle, you have no problem at all even if your car was slammed.

- you're driving it straight up, no DUH it will do that.

i hated my old driveway it would go up and then back down at the end so there was a big triangle hump basically lol. even at almost parallel angles i would still scrape the exhaust.

Great lookin' car huh! So neat and sexy car.

[01_EM2]

car looks very nice so far. its nice and clean start dont let ne one tell you other wise

[manahoonie]

thanks guys... (and girls, if there's any posting )

yeah, i am in no rush to mod my car... i plan on having it for a while :P

angling into the driveway isn't quite as easy as you would think... if i did that, there isn't enough room to angle back...three cars park in the driveway on trash nights, and one leaves earlier in the morning than i do, after the trash truck, but before the recycle truck...

so i CAN lower it, but it'd be more of a hassle...parking by angling and all. (my mom HAS hit my pass. rear door before...IN the driveway with her bumper...

so i'll wait on the lowering for now... just my reasoning tells me that it can wait. like i said...i plan on having the car for a while (unless some douche decides to hit me and total my car )
