Got my Cusco Tower Strut Bar Installed this weekend. As you can see, I had the mounts painted. I wasn't a fan of the Powder Blue. Just a little too much color for me.The ride has changed quit a bit. I feel that the vibrations during acceleration have def disappeared and there's much more grip to the road. Suspension is much tighter, for sure.

Default Storing SC

As I mentioned previously, have new baby and can't find rear-facing seat to fit in the back-so next step is to store the SC. Spoke with dealer and he said I didn't need to do anything special to store car. I then asked him what about disconnection battery-he said that was a good idea. But I didn't want to feed him with my limited knowledge of what to do.
Anyone have tips or suggestions on the proper way to store the SC?

Nice!! If you don't mind me asking, where did you get yours from? I put a front brace on my old Supercharged Honda Del Sol and it made a world of difference in the way the car felt...wondering if it would help my SC430 with some of its mushy - feeling handling.... Many times I feel like I'm driving an old Buick

Thanks...

2007 Pebble Beach 1 of 400 - quick vid. Professional photos coming soon as soon as I can pull my CF card from the Canon, I had stopped at a farm stand while driving it home somewhere in Jersey, and got some good shots of it in front of some corn fields.

Thanks for the feedback on the cusco STB! That sounds awesome. I'm glad it made a difference.

I actually have that same exact weapon R intake on my Pontiac Grand Prix, and it sounds great. I should swap it into my SC (just need the intake pipe). I have to look into some cold air options though, as well. Do you happen to have an audio clip of your car, since installing the weapon R intake?

I am curious how it would change/effect the handling of an EU model. So I would like to know where you purchased your CTSB, too.

Eight hours of polishing today and this is as shiny as I can get it.






Cheers
