Official 'What did you do to your car today?' Thread

I installed a FA1 front sway bar.

The stock sway bar is solid compared to the FA1's which is hollow. The difference in weight has got to be like 7-10lbs. I never realized how heavy the stock bar is since I have never completely removed it. The car feels very responsive with the steering.
 
Last week I ordered Full Race exhaust and seller sent me exhaust for 8th Si.:banghead: I sent him a picture to show it that I'm not lying and another exhaust is on it's way. Should be here on Monday. As for today I drove my car to the gym and then to work.:driving:
 
Wow, that sucks I guess that you were planning on installing it this weekend.

Yeah it does suck. At least he sent me a new exhaust on the same day that I called him. I also need to put it back my stock intake on and replace the original drop in filter with the K&N. Maybe I should just make my own build thread.:squirrel:
 
^^

What exhaust is that? I wonder how mine is going to sound with stock DP.
 
I don't have pics at the moment, but I can describe the hardwiring. I bought this cable from amazon (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00M3YW88S/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). Took down the overhead light assembly, fed the USB end of the cable through towards the rear-view mirror, and fed the other end through towards the A-pillar. Followed my remote-starter antenna wire across the curtain airbag (dangerous) and ran it down the weatherstripping side of the A-pillar and down into the underside of the dash right to the fusebox. I grounded the negative side of the cable to a chassis bolt to the right of the interior fusebox, and I soldered the positive side of the cable to this add-a-circuit (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I0MWPXU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and used fuse #23.
If anyone ends up using that cable, be aware that it has 0 reviews on Amazon, and it did NOT work for me until I disassemebled the circuit board box, and soldered a broken wire back onto the board. Yay quality.
But overall I'm really happy with the way it turned out. Pics later, video now.

It's an Ultimate Racing 3" Exhaust. I'm still waiting on my modified Berk HFC (Berk is doing the work) and Manzo Shorty Header with 3" outlet.

You might have some drone. But not as bad as the 8thgens with stock cat.
 
She was dirty so I decided to wash her. BTW what do you guys use to remove bug stains from the bumper and hood? I have some white stains from bugs on the hood that are impossible to remove.:nervous:

Installed Hella Supertones b/c the OEM horn was subpar. Fabricated a bracket for the grille one and mounted the second behind the fog light.

WARNING: Pictures taken before wash.

Pretty cool fluke though, when I honk the horn, my red LED's in the grille turn on. Not sure why this happens as the horn and lights are not connected in any way.

how did you run the wires? any chance i could get away with running the positive for both horns just off the stock connector? i really dont wanna run more wires than i have to
