an RSB does this same exact thing.
it stiffens the rear to where you can "lift off over steer"
which means when going around a corner with the pedal to the metal, lift off from the skinny pedal and the back end will swing around just like a RWD car.

im very intrigued by the j-series racing tsx
I might copy the catch can set up.
the throttle body looks HUGE! or that might be the way the coupler looks. 4 inch intake!!![Wish](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/wish.gif)
and it seems to be on some sort of spacer as it sits high. as high as i am right now
I wonder whats going on with the radiator?
have they found a better racing radiator??

Didn't even notice the radiator until you pointed it out.
The intake is amazing sauce yes made that word up its trade marked.
What im more interested is what bumper is that i like it a lot.
Found out its the 3.5 motor too they used to run the 4 cyl but finished 2nd in class and decided to whoop ass again they did the j series swap.

Goodbye.
I remember a while back they said they moved on to the V6 because the drivers noticed they couldn't beat the mustangs and camaros that flooded their category that one year on straights. They decided to sacrifice some handling for straight line speed.

so i need some ideas....i bought some A pillars and B pillars......
want to try and colormatch my interior. I bought some leather that is close to the dash pattern and color. cost is a bit of an issue. it will be a few hundo for the leather just to cover the 4 pieces.
i bought some SEM flat black paint for cloth. its on the way.....i may just try this first to the light colored pieces.
any other ideas....other material I would be interested in covering them with????
and i dont want to hear any CEB-LIKE BS about the airbags. THX/

We do a lot of reverse engineering at work, it's so cool. Just think of the possibilities of owning a white light scanner. So many parts you could scan, then customize on the computer!

Compared to Megans, BCR coilovers have bigger internals, beefier shock bodies, locking lower rings (so the height adjustment rings don't work loose), and a better damping curve. They end up being a lot more compliant over rough surfaces. And they tend to last a little longer.
Overall the BCR coilovers are just a nicer piece, for just a bit more money.
Bigger internals means more surface area for the shim stacks and valves, which leads to a smoother ride and better tuning of damping. The larger shock bodies means more room for the internals and a stiffer cartridge, which means it will hold up to much more abuse. The BCR coilovers also come with a coarser thread, so you can adjust ride height easier
and quickly.

You see me, I CU2
^ + BC coils in Black and gold look alot sexier than Megan blue
BC also have a wider diameter shock body too? The free customization is clutch but is it worth the 200 dif wit Megan EZ's dun dun duuuun...
D2 also released a coilover for the TSX too same price I believe as BC
