Yeah it feels a bit sloppy cuz of the springs. Gotta get some str.ts soon. But feels lighter yeah. Definetly has more pull than my 2004 vp lol

But yeah it has the solenoid, theres a green wire on it instead of blue like on the 7th gens though

lol EVERYONE i know that saw i bought another one just gives me a weird look but ive always wanted a 6th gen, but once i pay off this ex i REALLY want a 6th gen hatchback lol

but yeah i just finished taking the door panel off and f'ing with the window to get it back in track...which still didnt really help since i need window motors.

also i ordered the trunk springs today. they said they should be here by saturday morning.

and as soon as my check clears ill be ordering koni str.t's for it, although im still not sure what springs to pick, and some yellow fogs.

then my list is as follows (in order)

sylvania silverstars
window motors
cai
si style gauge glow like this \/
http://www.ebay.com/itm/92-95-EG-Hon...#ht_1323wt_858
srs catback
some kind of headers...i havent really looked into those yet for this car
front and rear lip kit
type r grill

thats all i can think of right now...btw on ebay all the exhausts ive seen say they fit ex/lx/dx/si...do all 6th gens have the same catback?? just headers different?

also i think im gonna try to find out how to change the needle colors in the cluster...maybe red?

oh yeah and the stereo install in this thing is just stupid unnecessary lmao oh and apparently one of my rear speakers is blown cuz i was hooking up my sub and looked up and the driver side 6x9 was unplugged...im like ookay and plugged it in and it sounds horrendous lol
