Dang, are my fellow AX VPs are teaming up against me in the car department? Just FYI, you will still need 1.15 more Civic Si between the two of you to match my car's displacement Mu ha ha ha ha! :twisted:

Congrats on the new car James, as Matt proved last year, it is a PAX master.

Note: PAX SUX

Yeah because Matt is a shitty driver...it was all just PAX

Well hell, I've sold almost all my WRX crap in 2 days.

In said time I scored:

15lb Konig wheels
ricer lugs for the Konigs

The last set of Civic koni yellows for a month from Redshift Motorsports
Honda camber bolts
A full suspension of an 08 SI (f/r dampers, f/r springs, f/r top mounts)...gut the front struts for konis, sell springs, keep rear dampers for backups

I guess I will have an almost fully ready to roll G stock car by the 3/20 event. The other GS SI guys are running SMALLER front bars than stock (ie off the LX/EX Civics). I'll probably try to score one (might steal it off my Mom's car for an event and put my SI FSB on hers

).

I'm not happy, that shit sucks man. However, you can at least get a whole brandy new engine from Mazdaspeed shipped to you door for like $1500 cant you? My project is turning into a small fortune. You all will literally see me cry if I blow this puppy again.

Luckily 1 out of 3 THSCC members has a GoPro HD; so if it happens, we'll be able to recreate you crying from 45 different points of view in HD!!

Thanks Andrew, at least I know my abject despair will be well preserved for all to enjoy, heck with 45 different angles you should be able to make a pretty good 3D hologram of it.

Luckily Chris at Redshift said he has not once had a customer have problems with yellows for the 8G civic. Only problem was a buffoon over torquing the top hat nuts with an impact gun and cracking the shaft and destroying the adjuster. So I have my fingers crossed.

Well the Koni SAs are here. No leaking, the adjusters spin their whole range, compression damping works on all 4

. Good signs!

FYI, I am planning an outing to use mine on March 19th mid-afternoon.

Ready to go. But I have to say that the stock SI dampers are actually pretty damn good for the spring rates, sprun/unsprung mass of the car. Much better damping stock for stock than the WRX for for damn sure.
