BTW, I got that new bulb in and it works perfectly.
The only thing I'm worried about is that I feel like if I hit a bump the light can just fall out of the hole. Should I just trust that it will hold? Or...maybe try putting some kind of tape on there? I haven't had any issue with the light falling out and I've already gone over a few big bumps, so maybe I'm just being paranoid.

It's your rear shocks job to take the bump. |

I saw a FB post that a vendor besides FTEightySix is doing a Kraftwerks Supercharger groupbuy again at $3500. The one for FTEightySix ended and wasn't extended. |

Right now, I'm thinking kraftwerks. I'm going to wait for the HKS kit to get some more info out there, though as I do like HKS. Not looking to make any move for the next couple of months. Going to go make some risky investments on the money I've earned to see if I Can make a little more in the mean time

So looking for some insight gents, I have the green light to start ordering stuff.
I want to be responsible and do it somewhat in steps. Debating between suspension stuff first (looking at tarmac 2's, v3's or tein mono sport), wheels and tires (17x9 rpf1's +35) or getting a stg2 tune from delicious to begin with. The smart person in me says I should do wheels and tires first... but better powerband would be wonderful. Kinda curious what route you guys went just to kinda hear some opinions. |

Buying what I want in pieces isn't so bad, it is just the anticipation of waiting even longer to get everything ready to put on the car.

What are you goals so I can give you advice on suspension? I love my V3's and spending the cash at that level is HIGHLY worth it compared to the more budget coilovers. I love the way my car rides on the V3's, but may be soft for some hardcore track junkies. The key is just dialing it all in. |
