Partial Truth, Maybe?

Well the truth is finally here. April fools was only a partial temporary slight half joke. There are PARTS of the joke that are real. J's Racing 60RS Exhaust, J's Racing Intake, J's Racing Strut Bar, Racing Brake 2pc Front Rotors, Racing Brake Slotted Rear Rotors, Racing Brake Stainless Steel Brake Lines, and a new euro r front lip. More coming soon, so stay tuned. So no more words and just pictures.

17in lift kit















Sweet Closeups of J's Exhaust









Damn those are some sexy welds

not sure what I am going to do with the old parts. im sure i could probably get about 850 or 900 combined for my strut bar, intake, and exhaust. On the other hand i have this thought that I need a DD after college so I might buy another tsx and would be tempted to have parts for that.

I dont know what considered safe. The way I do it is jack up the front of the car put the jack stands and the lift points on the side. Lower it back down. Then do the rear. Then I jack it up again and raise the front jack stands to the height I want and then do the same to the rear. Repeat the process in reverse to lower.

dealer caught my current one on the alightment lift backing the car off tearing one of the mounting brackets out of the urethane and scraped a lot of paint off the bottom of it. they agreed to replace it for me.

Did some more installs yesterday. Worked on the intake and the strut bar. The intake wasn't that hard so far but I wasn't able to install the entire thing because for some reason it didn't come with all the neccessary screws. Luckily I was able to come up with some screws that works and get all the parts installed that involved removed the bumper. The strut bar mount on the drivers side was easy to put on however the passenger side was not so easy. You had to unscrew both AC line mounting bracket screws so you could pull the lines up and to the back of the engine bay as far as possible just to be able to spend about 5 minutes wiggling the bracket through the small whole to get it on. Unfortunately I had to do this twice cause in the process of being annoyed by how hard it was to install I forgot to remove the strut tower bolts the first time. You had to install the brackets first and the bar seperate for this strut bar as well. One bolt must go one direction and one must go the other to mount the bar to the brackets and actually have room to tighten the bolts.

So here are pics of both installs. Lots more of the strut tower to try and show how tight the fit is. Also the reason there is blue tape on the strut bar is because I didn't want to scratch it during install.






















Air block off plate that fits perfectly around the subframe to keep air from entering the engine bay from the intake side other than through the whole up to the filter.


Air directional plate from center air dam with sweet allen head bolts I bought since it didn't come with any.

Where do you get the black cover that covers the intake mainfold at or did you just paint that yourself?

Yeah hopefully I will have time before school is over to do another shoot but most likely not.

Gonna try to do a sound clip this summer as well. Trying to come up with a custom mount for a camera off my rear tow hook so I can mount my point and shoot right near it and get a good sound clip while driving.
