I plan on redoing the suspension over summer with my friend's help that lives out in Japan. I'll be getting the Quantum coilovers in the near future. I'll admit, I am kind of just winging this and rushing it, but I highly doubt with even doing so, I dont think I'll be ready for the 12th. I'm dissapointed at myself that I actually settled for less and rushed this portion of the project so quick. But, nevertheless, I'll redo it again later. I guess it would be nice to get rid of this shitty set up I have right now, and move into what's coming in a week. My friend has't shipped me the coilovers yet because he's waiting on my pads(Green stuff)/rotors/and camber kit.

Just spoke with UR, they said the flywheel will be going to the machine shop this Thursday. And I won't expect to see it for another 2-3 weeks. 
I paid 2nd day air for everything else for nothing then since I wont make it to the tracks for the 12th of April met. Oh well, at least there's another track day in May for us.

Word of advice on installing the VAFC2. I wouldn't plug it in until you are ready to get it tuned. I noticed that I lost about 40-50 miles per tank with it on and not tuned. IDK if mine is defective but I swear that I didn't touch any of the settings besides the ones that I was instructed to touch and setting the VTEC crossover cause mine was set about 2000RPM too high, I did not adjust the A/F ratio settings. So now I've got the wires run but I've disconnected the VAFC until I eventually get those custom cams installed, but who knows when that'll be though.

I'm not using it cause my VAFC is robbing me of alot of gas. Why would it be using it? I tried to get a street tune but the shop I went to said they couldn't do it cuase I don't have a wideband o2 sensor, which are just as expensive as the VAFC. BTW is their statement true, do I really need to buy my own wideband o2 sensor? Is it possible to temporaily install one to do a street tune and the put the stock o2 sensor back in?
No updates on the cams. CleanCL has them but hasn't had time to install them. He did say you could try pming excelerate and he might be able to ship you out one also so you can test it on your car.
