Wouldn't it be more interesting asking what plans he has (boost, suspension mods, I/E etc) instead of hounding him for some damn pictures?

I know things have been boring around here but jeez.
Why would we want to know about his mods and planned mods. Car is already mad fast and soon to be in the 13s so he can tell me about it. Living in WI. adds 10HP to a stock RSX-S, so I don't know how I could keep up with all of the mods he mentioned but will not prove. If he was so excited about this new car, owns a camera and even has pics from the day he bought it. Then why would he not have 50 more laying around that he could not just post up unless he is not telling the entire story.

Not a big deal. I hope the guy has an S. Otherwise it is not that great a car. If you saw the camber kit you would take back the "better handling" comment. My GA was a blast to drive with its suspension mods. windows down, sunroof open with a 13 second 6 cylinder.

Fair enough, I've never understood some of the suspension crazes of today either (lower is not always better, especially with independent suspension). so many guys think that just because the car is lower, it handles better. I won't even get into the ebay coilover kits or el-cheapo springs... Springs that slightly lower, have higher spring rates and maintain suspension geometry are the way to go. A nice set of springs, a modest set of sway bars, and some nice summer tires will make almost anything a ton of fun to drive.

The only fad I do like (but maybe because subaru's can pull it off well) is the hella-flush look. Would I do it to my own car, no (i run 42ET wheels for summer) but I still think it looks cool for a non-track car.

Yeah, he apparently can't do math either, among other things. That's ok though... he won't be around here much longer if he doesn't clean his act up.

I don't have to wait until anything. Stop acting like a douchebag and everything will be fine. Keep it up and you're going to get warnings.

About time, first useful pic you took. THANKS. Must have been real hard to do it! Can you take 1 more for me and I will get off your back for pics? Use that same piece of paper and take a pic of your guage cluster.
