I put in my new axle seal today, so far no leaks, we will find out in the morning if all is good. I went to the junkyard today and they had two dc2s. A 2 dr ls and a 4 dr, so I pulled the rear sway bar off the 4 door. (gsr and 4 dr tegs have 14mm rear, all other tegs are 13mm). It is just rusty, being the ricer I am I'm going to paint this like gold or orange or something, whatever paint I find around my garage. Now here's my questions.

1. I didn't grab any of the hardware at all, the mounting brackets were bent.
So is this something I'll have to go back and get or find off someone? Or are there aftermarket ones, like energy makes em? I was looking around but didn't see anything.
2.Any suggestions on end links? Blox spherical adjustable or non adjustable ones or some other brand.

I don't plan on getting a subframe brace any time soon, not too worried about 144m tearing out my subframe.

Once my debit card comes in I'll order the stuff to put it on.

I ordered a bunch of new stuff. Here's the first thing that came in. I got Passwordjdm stuff. I got a banner, it is pretty sweet, only $18 and it looks cool, I got resivoir covers, forgot to take pic of them, and a pwjdm belt cause I need a new one. Also I got my eBay tow hook set. $45 shipped and they are nice, put them in today. I am going to put up a diy on how to put them on, mainly the front one for those who don't know how. Here's some pics, the diy will be up in a bit.





I'm probably going to be ordering carbon fiber diy kits. I want to learn how to do it so I make my own stuff, I am going to do the center counsel lid first. Maybe eventually do the entire centercounsel instead of buying one for $300.

Thanks for the spelling lesson sig, well appreciated.

Yea they are gold, really bright gold in person, they are awesome. I wasn't going to pay $120 for Benen ones. And everything pwjdm brand is free shipping btw, so $18 for it and it got to my house in 3 days. And I got the carbon fiber overlay piece I ordered. All I'm doing carbon fiber by the cluster is the overlay. It was $15 and is decent, the cf has some crappy spots by where the holes were cut for the lights and stuff, but for $15 I'm not going to complain. I'll be putting it in tomorrow.

Today I put on the carbon fiber cluster cover thing, I'll snap a pic tomorrow.

I waxed my car, my neighbor who's got 5 10 second or less muscle cars had me try out the wax he uses, real nice. Used it on my dad's Vette too.

I'm getting really sick of looking at my steelies. I want rims asap. I reallyyyyy want something wide or with a fat lip just cause that's sexy, and a nice flush look. Still waiting for something to pop up though.

My new lip kit comes Monday. That'll be on right away.

Tuesday I go to a local Acura dealer to talk about my internship. Soooooooooooo pumped.

And I can't wait for my carbon fiber kit to show up, I want to carbon fiberrrrrrrr.

That is all for now.

and what would you be doing at the acura dealership?

Hopefully everything will be painted in a month or so. My new lips come tomorrow and they will in the batch of things to be painted.

I'm going to school for imports, mainly hondas. So I need an internship because my school is 2 monthes of classes and 2 monthes of work back and forth. So I'll be working on the cars and getting paid. So I'm going in Tuesday because the service manager wants to talk about the whole thing, impretty confident Im getting a job there. Can't wait!
