it's gonna take some time to get used to the smaller diameter wheel, but it's the same as the old one, maybe a little bit lighter when turning...

at least you can pop your wheel out of the way now, so is that the only project, new steering wheel?

also, do we need to add any ATF after installing the cooler?

I have been thinking (ouch!)... and i wonder if adding an additional cooler (two total) will be ok... one on each side of the horn?? Do i need more ATF? will the fluid be too COOLED?!?....

Any info? anyone done this???

I was actually thinking about running another one, but I already ran new lines and everything. I dunno how much a second cooler would really do. But you need to add a half quart of tranny fluid when you put the cooler on.


Car looks great man, nice mods

I agree that it's not really bad, but it's because I repainted the front fascia about 3 months ago... it's all chipped again....

I'll just wait until i have enough $$$ to repaint the whole shebang... and get some clear bra for the biotch :

Thanks,

on shiftknob, I bought the car from this guy and he had it on, never bothered me to take it off... i'm opted for the MOMO knob but $80 for a knob just seems like too F*ckin expensive....

THIS:

coming up will be HID, headlight black housing and corner black housing, maybe even projector ... so there'll be no amber corner...

Thanks, the wheel is a Jet-style wheel from JLBmotorsports, but the horn is authentic Mugen... I got it at D1 final few months back...

the strut bar is generic ebay one for 94-97 accord, i bought the whole set (F & R upper + F lower bars...) It does a good job at adding rigidity, and it looks nice enough for cheap $$...
