<B> So, this past weekend i took a trip out to Southern Washington (centralia/olympia) to visit a few friends (i'm from vegas, <I>slightly</I> different climates). During my trip...i saw about 8 Audi TTs, a handful of 740s, one or two vipers...weather here has rocked. But, when i got back home, after missing driving my max for the past 5 days, i went to go drive her and took her through some turns and noticed there was a huge change in the handling (GOOD!). I go back home, jack up the front...nothing...
Jack up the rear and lo and behold, a rear sway bar. Apparently, my girlfriend (big time car modder...she has a '88 CRX with a B16A that she helped install into the car) bought me a rear sway bar (since i was looking to getting one), took my max, and installed it while i was away...pretty much a birthday present of mine. That kicked ***!! I should leave town more often and come back to find there's neat modifications to my car. I love racer women! Only problem is, i have to reinstall it so i know how to change the settings at a later date... Ok, i'm done.</B>

If you leave town for more than a week, you may come home to find a SC under the hood.

I won't let my wife drive my Max...bought her a new Accord Special Edition-had two fender benders in less than a year with her Honda...

Cool GF

Hey does she have a sister? Maybe a cousin? Niece?

I gotta find a woman like that! Only accessory my ex got me was a set of junky speakers for my old truck (maybe that's why she is an ex!).

Oh, and the RSB is pretty nice too! I got mine installed about 3 weeks ago, and yes you can tell a difference in the performance. The tail just seems to squat in the corners and maybe just a slight roll. Gotta get a FSTB and RSTB to take care of this I guess. Maybe she has a friend that would get me a set of eibachs??? I'll take her out to dinner and even cuddle afterwards (after she installs the springs of course )

Anyway, cool GF. Make sure you hold on to her!

ride quality is slightly stiffer that it's extremely hard to notice. You can only feel it over bumps and it's so minute in the feeling. The rear end follows soooo much better with the bar. It wasn't as big of a change with the sway bar as it was on my CRX (that was just incredible with the bigger rear sway on the CRX)...but definitely noticable. The car almost feels race worthy now. The rims are 18s.

About the girlfriend... yes, she does rock. I bought her an entry into a road race coming up...she's all into the road racing (not much of a drag racing girl). She rocks! And she's mine...hands off.
