[Ryoga28]

Finally got the car washed. Since last time, I've added a carbing strut bar, piaa sport horns, and some passenger door dents.

Let me know what you think.

nice man!
Your setup is really clean. Is that a turbohoses intake and filter? I like how you setup the vac block too

 

[Ryoga28]

Thanks Sandspeed. The intake is actually a modified injen CAI attached to a turbohoses velocity stack that I bought off a member for a bargin price.

Looking good. I really think you have the best color combo on a MSP.

That is a huge compliment coming from you. I just love your paint scheme.

I did, but it chips off with time.

It was imported from Japan by TheMan (Edwin) for about $230 shipped. As far as I know, I think I'm the first one on this board to own one ^_^

lots of clearcoat helps keep the chips away for longer perods of time.

I was getting disappointed with the strut bars in the Protege market. PMost of them were cusco copies with movable joints at the ends. Cp Racing on the other hand had a bad finish plus I don't think they sell it anymore.

So I went to TheMan's Faq page and checked out the section on strutbars and noticed that Carbing made three different types of strut bars. 2point front bar (Steel or Aluminum) or the 3 point Bar (looked like the Autoexe Bar).

Thank you

It just takes time. Figure out a scheme and keep shooting for that goal.



OK shamless plug, but I am fond of this thread.

Having the first or only strut bar like that is cool. Make sure you pop your hood any chance you get to show off. Keep up the good work.

The next appearance I want is a Carbon Fiber roof cap. However, I don't think it's very likely to happen due to a lack of interest from the company I was talking to.

that strut bar looks badass... perfect fitment, makes me glad I helped you get it! I'll get it for myself in a few weeks or so... it looks like it'll go right in without having to do any s*** to the cruise control
