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.
How did you decide on those spring rates?

They actually came 14k front, and 6k rear. I decided to go stiffer in the rear with a 8k setup, and figured a 14k front would be alright since I'm heavier in the front anyways (it being a 6 cylinder). I wanted to go with the higher rate in the rear for a lil more oversteer. I'm just going to give it a try...I was use to seeing 10k-12k front, 6-8k rear

I'll get you the price this Saturday. Do you want me to just ship it out, or get you the price first?

i guess u can get me the price first. But if u get it in the box, and get the weight, u can get a close estimate on ups.com. I just dont want to be shocked with the price u know? if u want i will even do the estimate if u can get the size of the box and stuff

Well I'll be at the office till 10pm tonight because of an NLP class I'm taking. That's from 7pm-10pm. So I wont get home till late. And tomorrow I'm going to have to bust my ass off at the office and do some deliveries to the clinics. Saturday morning is when I plan to take care of this for you before the St. Patrick's Day Parade I'm going to. I will just go ahead and use my judgement on whether the price is too high or not. If I feel the price is right, I will ship it to you then. And if I made a mistake as to what I thought was a fair price, I will work with you. Sound fair?

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.

No, piggy back harness so I don't have to splice wires on my 3.0 ECU

VAFC-II harness to obd2a harness

Like the one danielsmi/batmobile/blackackattack(name thief) has on his car for his vafc that he doesn't use

HAHA!! thanks for getting me in trouble!! I busted out laughing when I read that right in the middle of class!! The teacher loved that let me tell you!! I told you I didn't think of the similarity until after I made the name. Sorry!!

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.
