Yes but read @Nomar06's post @Michal006. It looks like a word is missing. It doesn't make any sense to me.

 

[Nomar06]

Yeah, my bad. Should of say I can't find any without having to pay a crazy high price.

Nope. If you want the real stuff you gotta pay.
Sometimes ya gotta just say "what the heck" @Nomar06

I'm want your climate control lol

It's interesting how the 9th ten varies in different areas @derekfriedrice
Did you know that the washer fluid bottle is different sizes depending on where you live?
Canadian cars come fully loaded where as the American cars have nav as an option etc.

Lol I didn't know that, I only knew about the climate control. Canadian Si's get a bit more of a mark up though however right?

I'm sure we pay for the extra toys.
Heated seats, climate control, nav and I think that's it.
We don't get TPMS though in Canada.

 

[Michal006]

But, but you Canadians pay a lot more for your Si than we do.

At least the new ones don't use a tpms in the wheel that needs programming now.

Installed my coils and rear camber arms this weekend.
I love the way my car looks now.

Looks awesome...Feeling just like the others when I saw the climate control and heated seats, lol. Makes it look more upscale! Are you liking the look more now without the badges and stickers? Think I'm going to do mine this weekend...

Thanks @T-Wolf
I personally prefer cars that don't have stickers and badges. I think the car looks cleaner, a little more low key and less flashy without them.
It's all a matter of personal taste.

 

[hwasa]

Yea, my thinking too. De-badged and stickered mine too. More mature looking..

Spent the day installing all of my upgrades that I purchased over the winter months.
First thing was to install my 24mm Progress RSB with Moog sway bar bushings and upgrade the rear end links to Moog as well.
I'm all about having a car that corners and handles well. With the upgraded RSB my car stays flat and flies around corners, bends, and onramps.

Next, we moved to the front of the car.
First, we (my youngest son and I) installed a Hasport rear motor mount. Then we lowered the can back down to the ground and installed a set of ACUITY shift linkage bushings. I also replaced the stock air filter while I had the airbox removed.
Shifting feels way better now.

Lastly, I replaced the cabin air filter with a nice clean new one. I was amazed at how dirty those things get. It's so easy to replace so it was nice to finish a day of crawling under the car with something that was simple to do.

Now all I want to do is drive around in my car and enjoy all these upgrades!

always worth it when the upgrades make a noticeable difference

Most definitely. I also enjoyed installing the parts and spending the time with my son.

Always nice to have quality time with family (and friends)
