good thinking.. i will do that tonight when i get home..

clee109

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

you have no reason to be negotiated. also are they gonna pay for the gas and time wasted to get estimates at several different body shops?? if not, just deal with insurance agents. no reason to waste time and since the incident, your car should be in the shop years ago.

part 2 is coming where you can see her get out and look at it.. but atleast you get the taste of it now

clee109

Dude that's just bad karma on her end, she'll end up having her car totalled someday.

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.....

bluecarbonfiber

ya it was garbage day.. the other day of the week i dred..

ABP1TSX

How much?

clee109

hmm it's like $160.00 new, how about $80.00? No scratches on it except the bottom of the lil mount areas which you never see. It's the black version, yellow neuspeed sticker still in tact no bends, no dings really looks brand new

bluecarbonfiber

^^ gonna go for the FEELs carbon strut bar instead?

sT04Louis

iTrader: (5)

I need to get my strut bar coated white...

clee109

Not sure yet, I want to do my sound deadening first since I just don't drive the car for performance...

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.

bluecarbonfiber

^ haha thats funny abdul next?

iTrader: (5)

?? That was just the stock image from the DMV website.

clee109

man I so want a vanity plate!!! lol

sT04Louis

iTrader: (5)

Vanity plate was fun while it lasted...im just getting paranoid now that someone will "remember" the plate to easy...find some info...and something bad will happen.

clee109

well they also say that vanity plates can help police recover your car faster after a car jacking since they are easy to recognize.

sT04Louis

iTrader: (5)

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.

MegaKillTron

I'm fucked up, what are ya'll up to?

bluecarbonfiber

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)

saersxlr8

granola bar?

a fun plate would be "3M TA3" (rear view mirror)

bluecarbonfiber

^ haha.. the dmv looks for codes in lisence plates so i dont think that will fly.. any thing that may be offensive or is a cuss word they dont put on plates..

See that California plate looks great.

Im not paying for my plates to advertise Oregon. I just want a plane white plate.

bluecarbonfiber

wow i cant believe other states let those fly.. i know people who were denied trying to get the natas plate and fah Q and a few others.. maybe its just a oregon thing =/ we suck

ABP1TSX

Let get back to you on that. Just got back from cali so funds are slightly low. lol...

clee109

well how about $65.00 too keep it local? Otherwise I just gotta BM it

bluecarbonfiber

damn you are practically giving it away.. you still have your old strut bar?

clee109

yeah my OEM FSTB is whats on now

bluecarbonfiber

out of curiousity do you think rubber bushings might help the squeaks?

sT04Louis

iTrader: (5)

Shit chris for that price ill buy it and turn around and deal with shipping it to someone else

DMV told me no to WTF BBQ

MegaKillTron

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

clee109

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.
