Hey there Joe, nice car! May I ask where you got your red emblems from?

 

[Joe Liu]

@SFGiantsFB2 hey! I'm born and raised in sf ! are you from the city too ? I got the emblems from Kplayground but they're also available at procivic.

I put my Takada intake back on and was going to put the TBS on, but realized there doesn't seem to be enough room. Did you have any difficulty fitting your intake and the TBS?

 

[Joe Liu]

@Pauly99to17 yes it is going to be a rather tight fit. i'd suggest removing the intake before installing the tbs.

 

[SFGiantsFB2]

@Joe Liu thanks for answering, and no I'm actually from Sacramento, but a Giants fan haha; love the Bay Area though.

 

[Joe Liu]

so i recently invested in a dash cam, the Mobius action cam..

in the next couple weeks i will be hard-wiring this little guy to the car but in the meantime, here's a short pull recorded with it.


it's not that quick but you can never get enough of that WOT sound

now that's a sun deflector i would happily put on my car everytime i step out. lol.

 

[Joe Liu]

@innoAR they've been trending at import meets and shows up here in the bay..less than 15bucks off ebay

 

[innoAR]

nice. i'll probably get one then. socal is too sunny.

 

[meeks1234]

hey jw what your current exhaust setup is. sounds good!

 

[Joe Liu]

currently, all stock lol just intake noise. by the way, another update for you guys..sold my cr kais and looking to get something more aggressive by the end of summer. will keep everyone posted

 

[Joe Liu]

testing my options

i think i bit off more than i could chew..

 

[Dar-Dar]

Wow, how does the rear look? Are you going to run camber kits?

 

[Joe Liu]

it's still a work in progress but here's a snapshot.

17x9 +22 RPF1's in SBC colorway
215/40 tires: nankangs in the rear, yokohama s-drives in the front

i have rear camber arms and had to run at least -3 to clear the fenders. as for the front, i have camber bolts but i think i'm going to have the fenders pulled/rolled a little so i can lower it a tad more.

 

[Joe Liu]

front lip is also suppose to be refinished in the next few weeks..

 

[Joe Liu]

new high res fitment pics. front could definitely use a little more low.
