Jake (great name by the way), you should get a supercharger for your car. We can tell that you want more for your car to keep it interesting, and since it's your daily, a supercharger would be perfect

Time is gonna tell me. What direction i will go i dont know yet. My plans for now are to upgrade a brakes EBC rotors EBC red stuff pads and legend calipers, motor mounts front swaybar. Im gonna try myself on the track. SC adds weight to the front end and makes car handle even worse. Im dont say no dont say yes. If i got some extra cash then maybe.

Nice. I wouldn't do a front sway bar though. That will add more understeer for a car that doesn't need it. Your best bet is to just upgrade the rear bar to an even thicker one. What kind of tracks are you going to be racing on?

Most of the dealers in my area dont carry a large selection of helmets, you may have better luck.
what color do you suggest ? i dont like those bike themes one simple color black or white ? matt or gloss ?

i like white one

i went for black, to match the NBP more so

as far as matte or gloss, iirc most of the time you don't have a choice, and it would probably be gloss anyways from the factory

t/belt is not that hard, and your best bet would be to look for the service manual on the TL side (since the motor is the same afterall, and it should give a pretty good idea of what is needed in order to do it

biggest thing would be is that the timing marks might be a little different (along with the sensors being in a slightly different location) due to being an original manual, instead of a swapped auto
but i will say this is that if you are able to do a t/belt, you can more then likely compensate for the slightly different marks



BTW: biggest hassle of the T/belt is getting the crank bolt loose for the first time, since being tightened at the factory, they can be extremely tight

Some kinda update:

I have ordered few things for the car some are already here and some of them will be soon
List:
Oil Catch Can
SS brake lines
Stiffy ETD
XLR8 mounts
3k HID custom foglights.
Braille battery (have not decided yet on which one to get)
RL BBK depends how soon will get this done if my rims clear them.
CDD delete.
PSPEC short shifter.
If my rims wont clear BBK i will buy new set but this time lightweight and probably 17"
Im picking up today brand new tailights because some just destroyed a driver side one. Its all together but plastic is all cracked(will post a picture later)
As for engine mods i will try to do 4" short ram intake and maybe do p&p IM and runners.
Also i will try to loosen some weight on the car and myself
Dont know what else but this will be pretty much that it.
Maybe a rece seat for the future mod.

And im getting my headlights cleared this or next week.

Ordered black di noc for interior (new steering wheel)and will be doing a timing belt and valve adjustment myself soon too.

Wow thats a biggest update i've ever had.

Clutch dampening device.

I didnt see SS clutch line on your list. You should definitely consider doing that at the same time.

Ahhh that was the other member that he wanted to wrap headlights inserts with di noc. My bad. I was think about doing that too but im just not sure how it will look.
Im going to clear my headlights anyway im not sure if i paint the inserts flat black or i will wrap it.

Any tips on how to remove steering wheel ?

I have no idea, other than disconnect the battery, and get a steering wheel puller.

Pretty sure. I've done it on an Eclipse/Talon. Fairly simple if you are mechanically inclined. Just make sure there is no power going to that airbag.

disconnect the battery and remove the screws behind the steering wheel for the controls.

remove the backing of the steering wheel (plastic)

remove bolts for the airbag and slowly remove the airbag-un-clip the airbag (2 spots)

then remove the center bolt for the wheel.

smack the back of the wheel with a mallet a few times and remove it. u dont need a puller and dont smack the wheel too hard. just a few taps around it will do.

I'm curious about the same thing. Or how it's going to form around the stitching.
