You do the business with the subframe on the car?

it can be done in 3h30 i think, just the first time doing it, took me lot of time and i did not rush it.

BEWARE: the thread to fit the lifting plate,( or lifting lug) is not a normal metric thread, its a fine thread. its sitting on top so you gan go buy the bolt (or lifting lug) before astarting the dissasembly process.
BEWARE 2: there are plastics clips underneath holding the panel,be gente on them they get brittle with age and i broke 1.

Good luck!

Not exactly today, but did the first mod that every owner should do on his car was to install the JDM tips yesterday. Mine didn't have those small tips as well, bare naked it was.

RToyo86 · 04-15-2018, 09:58 AM

^^^ that's how the factory tips should sit. Do the JDM tips stick our farther than the tips on factory cars in North America?

Drove the car in some snow last night for the first time.
I went to a friend's place and took a chance based on the weather that it wouldn't snow... It did lol.

The factory Primacy tires don't like snow at all. But I managed to ease the car home.

Agreed, not only do they fill the gaps pretty well but I do like them sticking out a little bit.

As far as comparing to US specs, I am not too sure. Mine didn't come with any tips lol. But from what I read on the forums, the tips on american specs cars are smaller in length so I believe the JDM ones do stick out more. I guess the length of these pipes was around 9 inches.

Lol you did better than me the first time I got caught in the snow. Had to go up a hill with some traffic. Bailed out halfway up into a parking lot and walked the last mile or so lol.

Almost... there... (DIY rear seat delete I've been working on for the last 2 months lol.)

You're insane to drive in snow on those tires.
