I think that would sound pretty good. Any theory how it would sound?

Meanwhile, I think I'm going to go clean my wheel wells with a sponge and some tire cleaner in there, make it look new.
I have heard both resonated art pipes and amus exhaust I’m sure it will sound great.

Trust me, I used to go to extremes to clean and differentiate my car from all others out there too. I just have better yielding things to do than to chase something that can't be chased.


lol.. Mic, you're being extra. I was jk.

I decided to get up early today and install a Z1 brace that was sitting in my basement. It makes a nice difference to how the pedal feels and how much the pedal moves. its a solid cheap mod. Side note I finally ordered my Bilstein coilovers last week but I was immediately refunded for them as Zspeed ran out of the B14 kit for our cars and no one else seems to have them in stock...I guess I'm back to playing the waiting game.

guys which sites do you order your parts from? I normally go with Zspeed,Z1, or conceptzperformace but the kit I want is sold out on these sites. Got any suggestions?

I was going to say Import Parts Pro or RCA (Race Consulting Agency). Adam at RCA will help you out.

Thanks for the review on the MC brace. I've thought about adding that as I've had luck with my old race set-up (FF, not the Datsun) with such a brace. Haven't bought a thing for my 33 in years, might have to add that.

On suppliers, you might want to check (call) Tire Rack for the B14 set. They stock Bilstein and if anyone has or can get 'em, they're big enough to possibly get 'em for you. (Although, through yours and others' observations, seems these B14s are made of Unobtainium, nationally.)

EDIT: Just chatted with TR.... they're in stock at their Delaware warehouse.

Depo '06+ are the only rep headlights to own if you can't find a good set of OEs.

Confession: I have one OE in pristine condition and a brand new Depo that were both opened, built and sealed. I look at the car and cannot remember which one was the OE and which the Depo. Lenses are clear, light cutoffs and output are sharp and identical.

Thanks for your suggestion, import parts pro doesn't stock Bilstein but RCA does and luckily they had one left in stock. So I bit the bullet and bought the last one today

I love them. Changed the entire look of the car imo. Not to mention lights up the road a lot better.

Looking good, BMurray. I'm assuming that based on your recent upgrades, it's very possible that the search results from my daily CL trolling are your old parts. lol

Yeah, that was me, Tire Rack has 'em (in their Delaware warehouse since whoever was asking about them was in CT.)

But be aware that after that, I checked prices between TR and RCA (Race Consulting Agency) and RCA was cheaper by a fair amount.... like $70 or so. Even with free shipping.
