so I fully removed the neuspeed FSTB tonight just to make sure it was the source of my creaking and sure enough no more creaking at all. Front end is silent other than a few occasional flex point creaks on funky angles but nothing like what I was having.
I figure it was due to the neuspeed FSTB design only bolting to two studs and never really bolting down flat. So maybe I'll replace it with like the feels carbon fiber FSTB or something that utilizes all of the studs and removes the stock FSTB.
Now to sell my neuspeed FSTB, after hearing my issues any of you TSX'ers interested? It was silent with Tein H-Techs....kyle.... lol

If you look close in the first vid, it looks like someone is in her passenger seat, and is looking at your car as she hits it. So her saying she didnt know is a bunch of shit.
And omg those trash cans are close.....

So i think its time for new plates.
I want so bad to just have a plane plate like california's plates. Everyone i talk to tells me to just get veteran plates blah blah blah...Im not one to advertise my military background.
To humor them i jumped on the Oregon DMV site to see what they have, and found this..
Simple plate with no military logos all over it. Only problem is that you cannot personalize them...Oh well, i had my fun with my current plates.

That is true. I was always afraid some JDM fan boy would jack my shit off my car all the time.
Im hoping that with the Veteran plate no one will worry about no front plate/tint again
Plus it doesnt have a tree...or a lake...or a granola bar on it.

ABAB looks close to some kind of indonesian name.. i was joking at the fact we are at war with aphgans and half there names are mohammed,abdul and abib.. so to see abab as a vetran lisence plate is kinda funny..
I guess i only see the humor in it(bad joke)

For a second I thought you were already saying no my BBQ that I haven't planned out yet =p
I've got a couple plate ideas for when I move up, I'll unveil when I meet everything, if that ever happens. (damn flaky Oregonians) =p

Brandon - That could be a possible solution if you could find some lil rubber washers to go under the mount positions that would not wear out quickly with friction.
Kyle - Then buy it! lol

I have two rubber gasket sheets sitting around somewhere. They would be big enough that you can trim them down to fit under the strut mounts.
Let me know if you want me to dig them up.
