My New Cusco stuff....

Shup shuppers peeps...

I finally got my front Cusco Strutbar and my Cusco Radiator Cap...It took me a month to get them....i am so happy ...When driving now the steering wheel feels much better...the steering response is also much quicker...I can take corners much faster now...hehee also the radiator cap made the coolant run a bit cooler now...here are some quick pix of them...the strutbar only took me bout 5mins to install and i did it right when i picked it up...enjoy...

Cusco strut bar looks great. I have mine sitting in my trunk. Just got it the other day and will probably put it on today since i'm off from work.

Wow, the strutbar looks nice. Too bad it doesn't increase the handling a whole bit. If I didn't get my neuspeed one, I will get this instead.

So someone elighten me as to why aftermarket strut bars are better than OE? I mean, its just a metal bar isnt it? What the hell could be different?

Same question with the radiator cap. Cusco cap makes the system run cooler? WTF?

You should definitely attend the next local meet so I can inspect your engine bay in person. Why would you need to cut your Injen CAI in 3 pieces? And what's the deal with the extra black and red hoses? If those are performance parts (aka better fuel pump/filter), then how come you did those BEFORE getting headers? Am I missing something here?

Darkshear:
I'm sure he's joking about the radiator cap.

The rad cap does actually have a performance mod intent behind it. It allows the rad to withstand higher pressure...you have to do some reading on this, I don't remember the entire thing.

The higher pressures allow for increased cooling efficiency, but the temp gauge would not be able to pick up that difference.

So...do you guys think this Cusco strut bar is better than the
C-tech Titanium brace? I know the C-tech goes for $350, what
does the Cusco set you back?
