If you take your bumper lights off, you can see the area where it would sit. Its very easy if you have a hole saw. You drill between the battery tray and the relay box. Shouldnt take you more than a few hours to install.

 

You have to put the car on jacks/jack stands? Cuz, I dont have any lol. I havent modded anything major and havent need one yet

 

No jacks or stands required. All you have to do is take out your stock air intake (box,maf, resonator,etc.). Then take out your battery. Then pretty much line everything up. It goes throttle body<mid pipe<maf<maf adapter<long down pipe<filter. And you connect everything with the supplied couplers. If you decide to do it, I could step you through it as I had some help when I did it.

 

Thats alot simpler than I thought it'd be. Ill for sure keep that Bomz one in mind. As of today, im saving all my money for two of my summer trips, any left over goes towards my new watch fund and car mod fund lol

 

Well luckily, I just graduated from high school and have more money than I know what to do with. I got a scholarship so I can blow all my money on my car

 

Do you guys think that the M3 spoiler would look good on an 96 i30, or if it would even fit?

 

Man, lucky you lol.

It should fit, its the same trunk. (correct me if im wrong someone) The trunk should measure 49 inches wide, the M3 spoiler i got is 49 inches long, perfect fit

 

Come to the meets homie. I live down South Florida but Ima go to one Next month

 

My strut bar should come in today. Im at work right now, im hoping itll be waiting for me at home

 

My strut bar is sitting in my garage. I cant get the bolts off even after spraying it with wd40. I need to get a breaker bar.

 

Woo, Strut bar is here, and installed. Test drove it for a few minutes. The steering wheel feels harder to turn, feels more stable and tighter. I can for sure tell that everything is a bit stiffer.


Ignore my shoes haha, I literally just got home from work

 

if anyone has any ideas on how to get the bolts off to install strut bar, let me know. I tried wd40 and ratchet wouldnt budge.

 

spray some pb on it and let it sit for about 15 minutes. than hit it a couple times with a hammer and they should come loose. i didnt have too bad of a problem when i did it though.

 

Magic?!

 

I think its in your head. I couldnt tell a difference with it on or off.
The RSB is a different story.


Use a breaker bar, or the handle from a floor jack slipped over your ratchet.

 

Eh, some people say they feel a difference others dont. Im on stock struts and springs, so it helps.

 

You definitely need a breaker bar for this one

Or if you're cheap (like me) just go to Home Depot and get a pipe that fits over the handle of your rachet

 

Lol, What are yall talking about, i had like an 8 inch rachet and got em off.... Put some power into it!!

 

Yours may have been loosened up previously. Im sure your not the original owner.

 

Yes sir I am. My dad's car before mine, weve owned it since 95.

Stock suspension, those things are only on with 40lbs of torque, im pretty sure. I mean, it took some strength and a bloody knuckle, but i got em off

 

Most say they dont, including myself.Ive run with and without one and couldnt tell a difference at all. I honestly felt more of a difference by simply changing out all my front bushings with ES poly pieces.
They are cheap enough, and dont hurt to have them, so its not bad in that factor. A nice set of tires will improve handling more then the FSTB.
I still have a FSTB, but mainly for cosmetics. My Stillen unit dresses up the engine bay nicely.

 

Well, even if its in my head, it was 30 bucks well spent lol

 

They may or may not be possible to remove without a breaker bar, but it only cost $3 to get a pipe from Home Depot and it'll be useful for other things later on, so why not?

Your choice of course, I try not to force these things if they don't feel like they're coming out

 

Every 3rd post says get a breaker bar lol. I guess mine were just easier to get off.

 

Wooo, Lip spoiler and LED's came in. Pics are here:








Camera makes the LED's look like the light spread is crazy big, but in reality its not. Just the lens lol.

 

not bad. Do yourself a huge favor and buy some David L's.

 

Thanks, but what are David L's?

 

Night Pic of LED Plate lights

 

custom made tail lights without the amber in the back. Its just red/clear. Not the ebay crap. They are hard to find but so much better than the amber

 

Oh haha. I found a pair of decent looking Ebay ones I was gonna get. Red on bottom, white on top. They looked good

 

Arent the ebay tails red/clears....yuh could change the bulbs from amber. i've seen bulbs that are clear but emit the amber. that way yuh dnt get that ugly amber bulb showing through your clear tails

 

Huh? The housing is amber too on my car, ive got oem lights right now.
I meant i found a pair of ebay lights i wanted to buy lol

 

Getting to be almost impossible now days. Even when a set does pop, newbs cry that they are too $$$


They arent the same, they have that retarded grid design in them.

 

Ebay Tails

Those ^^
I like the look of those

 

tbh, it really depends what color your car is. Those lights can look really ricey because they are diamond cut. If I was you, I would just tint yours or something since you have a black car.



^^Those are David L's. You could even just tint the upper part of your tails black and leave the bottom red. You have a few options since you have a black car.

 

I ordered ebay lights, and they came WITHOUT harnesses lol. Im still in dispute with the seller because he wants me to pay all the shipping.... for lights that I cant use without harnesses...

 

use your old ones.

 

i cant stand the look of tinted tails on a black car. Looks so bad.

Looks awesome on teh pearl white tho yup!

 

I really dont think the cut looks THAT bad, I would for sure tint either the red, or the entire light. I mean, if it does look ricey, im out 80 bucks, o well.

 

Car looks good man!! The red and clear look good only if you smoke then a little to get rid of that bright chrome. That's what I did but probably would have been better if I took them apart and smoked just the chrome on the inside. Either way better then the orange for 80 bucks
