Hi Chuck,
What do you have your car perched on in the garage? Commercially available? Seems more stable than jack stands!
Thanks, longdrive

I think he's got an EZ Lift.

Threw the steering wheel on. I was expecting to have to pull the SRS reel but the Works Bell short hub just goes right over it. So pretty simple install. I have my passenger seat out so my SRS light is on anyways so can't tell if the included bypass are working. Oddly they are two 2A fuses and not ohms resistors which I was expecting. Assuming it works. Also couldn't get the horn to work so have to figure that out. I'll do it when I wire the cruise control back in.







This is a 5'7" eye level shot on a slightly lower than stock seat. The 340mm wheel doesn't block any of the cluster for me.

Pulled the OEM bumper off and test fitted the J's bumper. Not the prettiest, but I like it. Way heavier than the OEM ABS. I need to install the brake ducts before I bolt it in properly.

Pulled the K&N FIPK off to install the J's Tsuchinoko intake. Fairly straightforward except I'm missing the coupler to the TB so I need to pick one up before I can finish it up. Also, I assumed that since the Seibon hood had that big hump that the liner would follow the same lines but the liner shape is basically the same as stock so I need to cut that as well.





Also installed this P:JDM heat shield that I've had for awhile.

Picked up some Toda pulleys and a Toda TCT.

Found some time to cut the hood liner to clear the J's intake.

Thought I'd be able to knock of the brake duct install in a couple of hours over the weekend. Didn't quite work out that way. Installed the tow hook first. Easy. Slid the brake ducts onto the bumper and zip tied them to the splitter. Easy. Cut the high temp silicone ducting hose to the right length. Easy. Went to attach the hose to the brake duct. Won't fit. The hose is 2.5" ID and the brake duct just slightly larger so couldn't squeeze it on. No biggie, I just ordered a reducer to fit. So I decided to just button it up and call it a night. Went to put the bumper back on and first thing that hits is the OEM fender liner extension against the brake duct. Ok, something I need to trim. Pull the brake ducts back off and try again. Bumper now hits the tow hook. So had trim a bit of the radiator box to clear the tow hook. Basically the two hours I thought it would take to install the brake ducts all I got done was installed the tow hook.
