Are you looking for the bushing where the trailing arm connects to the lower control arm?

I have the one that goes where the trailing arm connects to the lower part of the shock.

1. I'll post some good sun pics + P side fender damage tonight.
2. I have no idea it was on the car when I bought it. I thought it was the OEM wing.

Yea it's insanely quiet... It's almost hard to shift by feel/sound because of it =).

Getting the exhaust fixed and running Mobil 1 synthetic now it literally feels smoother/more quiet than a new car. It still has a good sporty tone under WOT too that's more of a nice drone than whine.

Speaking of the pin striping mentioned earlier. Does anyone know anything about that? Is it a stock/dealership addition or what? I've never thought much about it.

Looks like it was dealer added, I've seen the same thing with Honda badges on the pinstripes also from a dealer

Teaser post... 6000ks are back and in I'll try to get some light pics up tonight with the quad LED corners in the front. If it looks as sharp as I think it should be pretty nice.

Okay, here are some light pics with the new 6000ks. These bulbs actually look correct ignore those fucked up pics on the front page.

LED Corners - This mod comes HIGHLY suggested the look is way more clean.


HID LOWs on.



Door Open - Blue Doors... These pics make me realize I need to get the dome light and plate light taken care off. Looks way yellow compared to the clean white front.



Pass side w/HIDs on.



Driver Seat down a tree lined drive - The light throw on these bulbs are MUCH improved over the first set I was sent.



Same thing out the window



Pics were a little shaky. Really need a tripod for the night shots with how slow the capture is.

It should look pretty clean at night once the LED conversion gets finished off.

I also passed 4-5 people on back roads while driving around and got no high beam flashes so that's good.

Yea I was going to get some sandblasting done on calipers/rotors/shield but I needed the car back. I may end up just hand sanding and sponge painting the calipers black which will help a ton we'll see.

Good job. Indiana is repping pretty good for us 1st Gen.

And those were 15k purple so its good that you did return them since you wanted a more blue look.

Car looks pimp

I actually think they were the right bulbs but they were failing you know how fluorescent bulbs turn pink when they're dying? Something along those lines perhaps. It makes sense since HID are the same basic idea a charge running through gas.

Na, they were bad lights I shipped them back and got the correct ones with the same 6k designation. You can see the correct pics later in the thread.
