I installed the Ebay fstb....

pretty simple installation except for getting the bar to fit into the screw thats attached to the handle. Took me like 10mins just to get it to go in. Then the other side went right in.

I also put my 17s back on today. Together my car handles sooo much better than before. much tighter around turns and I finally have traction. My stock tires were bald. I'm not exagerating they had 0% tread life. Time to toss those bad boys in the trash and get some winter tires for next year.

Now I'm just waiting for my Adcco rsb to come in the mail. Then my car will handle like a Viper. well not exactly.

Your comparing a REAL car to a video game? You need to get out of the house more often...

Back to the topic...

Do you have pictures of this? What is the quality of the craftsmanchip? I'm debating on this vs. the Courtesy Nissan FSTB for around $50.

And if you play Project Gotham Racing, and you get the Skyline GTR, you can leave a Boxter S or a Focus Cosworth in the dust. If I slide around turns I get Kudos and ifI get all the gold medals I get a new car!

I can take some pics of mine later tonight if you want...I bought mine off cheapBay early last month. Not too bad of quality, fit was solid too.

Yes please take some pics and post them on your website. How does the overall craftsmanship of this compare to others? For the price I just keep thinking SOMETHINGS fishy with it.

NO mine really fit nice. It's kinda plain looking but it does the job real well. I took a 40mph turn today with 17s on and it felt MUCH more stable than with my stock steelies and no fstb. It's a chromed bar with brass? color handles. They can easily be painted to match your car color.

I say go ahead and bid on one from ebay. I paid 32.XX shipped to my door in 5 days! gotta love it.

I'll post some pics tomorrow morning of my fstb and my 17s. The 17" rims look sahhhweeeet! but I really need to drop it now.(agx/h&R).

My Adcco rsb is in the mail!! 50mph turn here I come. j/k
