So you got the car raised?
How are you finding the mods from stock?

@Gan: Crazy? haha how so?
@sirus: Yeah, the RS*R's were pretty low when I got them off Joe. It was about 80mm at its lowest point and I really don't wanna get a yellow or anything, you know how some cops are(esp the hater ones). So I got it raised 105mm. Car was scraping/rubbing when it was 80mm too :/ Mods are pretty good, the TRD strut bar, you definitely feel the car feeling alot 'tighter' on turns. The RS*R's are pretty damn good for a coilover, about the same comfort as the stock shocks but giving alot better handling. Oh yeah, the weight reduction mods on the car are a MUST. Losing 36+kgs you DEFINITELY notice a difference in acceleration and cornering.

Your car looks awesome man! Very nicely done! I love that you raised the car to a more functional ride height, and those are some of my favorite wheels on this car.

AVO Silicon Intake Combo
@TouchMyHonda: no probs man. I honestly don't think I will be going wider than 225's on this car. So that's why I still prefer a narrower width, that and every little bit of weight saved is good - especially unsprung weight.
Anyway.. I got back home and found THIS in the kitchen... Packaging.. Package Contents.. Installed!! I bought the 'combo' pack as it comes with an AVO panel filter. At the moment I'm currently using a TRD panel filter.

Bought a helmet :D
Went to "Helmet House" in Victoria Park to day to buy a helmet. Sales people are very good there. I was going to go for a fully covered helmet with visor, but in the end decided to opt out for a half face helmet.

Looks like they raised the car when you got an alignment and all that? Why did they do that?

Better handling. Less Camber in rear. Less rubbing. Street Legal.

Better handling is always best. Less Camber in rear always good for spending less on rubber . Less rubbing some as previous. Street Legal no fines is always great.
Why you order two for? Rotor upgrade already wow nice work!
