Default whats new?

just wonderin what everyone has planned for the start of this season. i got a few things planned:

1. eibach sway-bar kit--take a look at a couple pics of my car at autox
2. RKSport engine mounts---you've seen my engine rocking like its gonna drop out
3. Strut-tower braces--i hate the sound of my body making that creeeeeeeeek as i turn, or pull into a drive-way
4. Pulleys--the "R" badge is no more. gotta find another way to make power
5. Falken Azenis--by the end of the 3rd autox ill need new tires....

oh yeah....whole new front end(damn light pole), and re-built engine thanks to the damn light pole(they had to check for any internal damage)

i believe the engine mounts and the pullies take you out of STS in case you're wondering.

as for me, i need the 3 drive axles, the tranny mount bracket(which is on backorder from honda, and there is no date on new ones), the tranny mount it self, and a slave cylinder......to do the swap, not to mention whatever other here and there's there are. i know i'm gonna need 1 or more belts.

then, hopefully by may 24th, i wanna get a front strut bar, and my custom intake setup, along w/ moving the battery to the back.

oh yeah, need money too

Hopefully I'm getting a set of Azenis on lightweight 15's before the next event strictly for autox, so I will use my stock wheels for daily use.

I would love to get a good exhaust, Greddy Evo looks like the best deal, then the AEBS header which put's out 15 hp and 18 lb torque to the wheels! That's wishfull thinking though and will set me back about a grand.

I'm doing some research trying to find a good strut for my car and since nobody makes them it's gonna take some work to get them to fit right. Koni inserts probably, but I'm not sure from which application to use.

ok, maybe i'm wrong...

"Any accessory pulleys and belts of the same type (e.g., V-belt, serpentine) as standard may be used. This allowance applies to accessory pulleys only (e.g., alternator, water pump, power steering pump, and crankshaft drive pulleys). It does not allow replacement, modification, or substitution of pulleys, cogs, gears, or belts which are part of cam, layshaft, or ignition drive or timing systems, etc. Supercharged cars are excluded from this allowance. This does not permit replacement of integral pulley-dampener/balancer assemblies. "

i guess as long as you don't change the "type" of pulley. i dunno how many types a pulley can be, lol.

Eibach swaybars,
4 point harness,
New struts if they ever come out for my car,
Then headers, intake, and exaust.

All of this will start in like late April or early May. Thats when I get my next raise..
