some of the Mugen goodies you cant really see...yet. i need to snap some better picTARs.

excuse the iphone pics (its all i have @ work)




...and the part that needs some TW paint (still contemplating whether to do it or not). its expensive to have painted since they gotta take it apart apparently!!!

The Mugen suspension is quite nice. before i bought it and was reading/researching it...people had said it felt "softer than the Si, but its more aggressive". i disagree. its a tad bit more on the stiff side and its MUCH more responsive.

you tend to feel a lot more bumps, flaws in the road. It definately holds corners better than the stock Si suspension.

i paid 1146 shipped from King Mototsports

drop is very mild but its exactly what i wanted it to look like....so im more than happy with the results!

thanks for the kind words.

nothing major, but everyone loves more pictures! lol

its been installed but i havent posted. i love the overall feel of the FD2 typeR more than the stock Si shift knob. a Mugen Si might be in the near future....but this works.




thats all for now.

Well, took the Mugen front lip BACK to the body shop after contemplating paint for it... lol 2 weeks later!

wish they could shoot paint down the sides...3 shops said they have to disassemble the sides in order to do a good job. so instead of 75+tax..its not 250+tax(employee rate)

MANY THANKS TO Angelsi06 for helping me get that lip!!!! one hell of a guy!!


pictures to come, when the lip returns next week!! WOOT!

Car is looking good, I agree that is about the perfect drop. Sean did you sell your stock rims locally?

Thanks man! Yeah the drop is exactly where i want it to be... i guess i got lucky(since i wasnt exactly sure how much it dropped the car in the f/r)! Yeah i sold my stockers. im not a fan of the oem wheels at all. I have however decided that these Weds are gonna be the winter rollers.. hehe

lets hope so!! its quite the investment to have the lip AND in TW. lol! the lip is just 1 of 3 parts... but it may be a few months til i get the other 2 pieces to complete the package.

i should be getting it back any day now, along with another few parts in transit.
