It's going to be a good weekend

Jessica is going to be recieving three new aftermarket parts this weekend.

For starters A counter sunk shift knob from rick's (don't mind roscoe)




Then a Berk test pipe with CEL fix




And finally, courtesy of the lovely SXY S2K thank you again, Skunk 2 lowering springs.




And if your going to hound me about getting new shocks atleast post up some suggestions and where to find them.

And these will be my helpers. Sugar(left) and Roscoe(right)



I will be posting up all the before and after pic's hopefully sunday night

get the kyb agx shocks (thats what i had on my eclipse, not sure if they have em' for s2000's)... they offer adjustable stiffness. plus they are the cheapest well know, high class after market shocks on the market ( i believe..) its a must if your lowering ur car...

oh and KONI's are good too, good price!
ebay is a start

you can actually find alot of good buys on Ebay. I was jacked once for an INvidia exhaust, but thats actually over 200 transactions, and one bad deal. Got my money back, but was a hassle. Overall though, I have found tremendous deals there for a wide range of hobbies...Just put springs on myself, not that bad of a job actually, pretty straightforward and easy.

Sonic.......the way your cat's lookin at that shift knob, I think he may be an old racecar driver that's been re-incarnated! I'll bet he makes those low rumbling engine sounds once in a while right?

Congrats Sonic! You got way more goodies than I did! I'm jealous of your springs, wish the ones I picked were a lil lower, but the ride is GREAT! It actually feels a little better and smoother than stock. GL with getting everything on, and PICS!!!
