I think the reason why we want rectangular for now, is so that we can use it to create a banner sticker, for use in windshields.

but...if I get unlazy, I'll start on a logo hhehehe

i'm gonna head to crappy tire now to score some tire spray and other goodies.

mmm...goodies.

hehehe no goodies! I just bought some tire spray (needed for cleaning, not really "Goodies"), dash wipes, and two oil filters (gotta change my oil...it's been at least 4K).

my oil gets dirty fast! (no surprise)

so what do you guys think about brake-induced drifting? Would I be considered a homo for doing it?

on monday, the K man (muscles) and I went for a rip, so he could checkout the suspension mods. on the last corner (Pharoh: coming back, towards the stop sign if you remember) I whipped the wheel and tapped the brakes, trying to drift the corner (which worked).

it's hard to drift a FF car, but is this considered homo? it's not as homo as the parking brake drifts some people do, but it's not as nice as, say, clutch slipping.

hrm...i wish I had more opportunity to practise driving techniques hehehe

In my opinion, suspension is a good place to drop money. Unless you do a swap (pls someone do a SWAP) your engine will only be so strong.

I bought the RSX-S bar without really researching anything.

but...then I researched and found out exactly how I wanted to tune the car. so, I bought a bigger rear sway bar.

the type-s bar is just sitting in my basement...I put on a type-R bar instead

mmm...type-r...

jdm! woot woot! hehehe

SO BORED! tempted to leave early, but da boss is here and I'll get caught

yeah, save up for rims d00d. otherwise I'll kick YOU in the nards hehehe

Baller: I installed the type-R bar, yes.

it's the same size as the progress bar.

as for a difference: I swapped out every suspension component at once, so I can't tell you what JUST the rear will do for you.

wait, yes I can. I did the rear on sat, and the front on sun...and did a test drive inbetween. forgot about that.

with just the rear upgraded, (keep in mind this is the thicker swaybar, and the strength is exponential, not linear) I was able to drift around an entire onramp near my house. the entire thing.

no, like seriously, the ENTIRE THING. I floored it (was racing some guy) and just countersteered/let off the gas and then hammered the gas again over and over.

it was fun

but I gotta say...the car has a REALLY good feel with the front and rear done. I just need to get my money back (it's lookin like it's not gonna happen, though) so I can get the coilovers.

wait......if we go to TO (Pharoh), then maybe we can pay this guy a visit? the only problem is that he's never home f*cker!

or maybe it was www.discounttiredirect.com ?

anyways, they're the 5zigen fighters in either silver or rose (gold).

or...the 7 spoke ripoffs from www.wheelmax.com look pretty tight, too.

they have them in gunmetal (ZEO - BZ12's) --> ( http://www.wheelmax.com/Wheels/Zeo/zeo.htm ) in gunmetal

Baller: the type-s bar is smaller than the type-r

the type-s bar is 19mm

i have the type-r bar (which is the only one I've ever put on my car) and it's 22mm

I'm selling the type-s bar, because I didn't use it. it will fit perfectly, and I have the bushings and brackets from the original owner.

dang man, I wish I could get back that money so I could finish up my suspension setup

f*ucking guy!!!

no, the progress and neuspeed are 22mm.

it's the honda integra type-R from japan (our RSX, but we don't have the type R here for the DC5's).

the RSX-S bar is smaller than the rest of them. it's the one people get if they don't wanna upgrade their endlinks, or do much else to the suspension.

keep in mind...this is only if LilJoe doesn't want it.

LILJOE: D00D, DO YOU WANT THIS STILL?

yeah, I've researched the suspension stuff quite a bit

and yes, bigger is better, but only to an extent.

there IS such a thing as too stiff of an anti-roll bar, but you usually can't get them from companies without them custom making them.

the neuspeed would definately be better if you wanna uber-pimp your suspension.

a camber kit is something you'll wanna invest in so that you don't ruin your tires.

and dayum son, if only money DID grow on trees!!! hehehehe

I need some BIGTIME to get the coilovers

the ONLY thing that's still stock in my setup is the struts. everything else is swapped (well, except for the control arms).

dang...need coilovers

yeah, you have to get an alignment.

the front is useless. I got the front and rears at the same time, but didn't bother installing the front.

it's just one bolt with this funky thickness thing. it's garbage.

the inverted macpherson sturts aren't supposed to need camber adjustment anyways, so don't bother with the front!!!

I need an alignment bad. I was going to wait until I got the coilovers, but my steering wheel is WAY rotated when I'm driving straight

it sucks!
