Look what I got from SSUSA & FedEX

[HondaMan]

Thanks Chuck/SSUSA...I was suprised that the goodies got here so fast (FedEx Ground)! :D

I asked Chuck late last week to have the goodies shipped here by Friday and they got here today! I needed all the goodies in time for an AutoX event this Sunday.

Here they are:

Yep, I have plans to the install (swaps) Friday evening and will have the Progress springs out to you on Saturday or Monday. Thanks again for your patience! :)

No problem - take your time. I won't get to install them for a looong
time.

Nice set up! I just installed my Injen CAI
a few hours ago and the thing is unbelivable! The car breaks loose pretty hard in 2nd gear now, and the air slurp when you turn off the car is awesome.

[bobdobbs]

How much louder than stock is it?

[Brettnyt]

SICK! How much for the tein basic??? Make sure to post pics when ur done!

[ATRIOT]

Sound is a subjective experiance, at idle it isnt really noticabley louder but at WOT it sounds great. Midpipe + CAI = perfect sound level for me. (hitting the track on friday, hopefully it'll be a cold crisp morning and i'll be able to really test out the difference.)

[StrangeShadow]

you rat (luckey) bastard! ;) j/k
way to go!
I love tien.

[BlackFL2k2Si]

How come I don't get stuff like that in the mail:o

[Suk02Si]

Thats cool! You should've also ordered the Tein upper pillow ball mount so you don't have to reuse the stock upper hat assembly.

[evilep3]

nice... i have the injen cai, and also love it!:m: I was looking into the tiens also,:blushm: how much did they set you back?

Damn, I guess I didn't do all my homework! :o

They were $895.

Thanks peeps! :)

[STP03BlueSI]

Yep, lots of cool stickers! :D

[Mugen_EP]

Looking good JP! Now lets see how much of a difference it makes on the track for you. Good luck at your event!:m:

[HondaMan]

Yeah, I can't wait to feel the difference when dodging the cones on Sunday! :)

BTW, I did some more research (calling around to Tein dealers) and the Tein Basics do not work with their Pillow Ball Upper Mount...I wish they did. O well, that's no big deal...plus my wife would kill me if she saw another $200 charged. :eek: She still hasn't seen the extra $150 (3 day shipping...doh!) for Axxis Ulimate brake pads and Ate super blue racing fluid I got today (thanks Brakezone.com & Sherwin).

See this table for more info (look under the upper mount column):

You guys need to manage your wives better. Just ask her if she'd rather see that money spent at a strip club. :D

LOL, that's a good one (especially for me)...I'll probably have to use that line within the next few days! :angel: :o :angel:

I will be running in the afternoon session and plan to be there around 12 noon...maybe bum a ride from Chunky (if he is there), so I can get a feel for the line around the course.

Go here to pre-reg (or pay $5 extra for onsite reg):

No DIY guide this time around...it's pretty straight forward like installing the springs, and there are DIY guides for springs (as you probably know i.e. the one I did)...it's probably easier than doing springs. I did take some photos of it and will try to write up a little something i.e. do's and dont's. The Tein's are beautiful & my handling obviously improved at yesterday's AutoX event (I did pretty good)! The Injen CAI feels great and I can actually feel (butt dyno) it pull better than the Typhoon SRI. I didn't really get to test the brakes out well yesterday, but they do feel better & more responsive. Needless to say I'm very happy with my new mods!!! :D

Anybody know where I can get a good set of light 16s with Falken Azenis at a good price? ;)

[shimmy_yaz]

lucky bastard hehe:D
