i say you should take off your fstb and unscrew the brackets and paint those red to match...i saw a 4th gen guy that painted them chrome and they looked 10x better than the gold they come with

how do you like the new battery? i was thinking about doing that...i was just about to start doing my engine in red next week...DAMN U!!! how much did everything cost? you only have one real hose on there and everything else is just plastic covering, right?

Wow! Now I know what the FSTB looks like. I had thought it was something that went under the car. Talk about clueless. It's hard to imagine that a little metal bar can make such a big difference in handling. That thing can't cost more than $20 to make in large quantities and be included as stock. Why did Nissan skimp on something like that.

Thanks for the suggestion. I was going to paint that and some of the caps red when I had the chance. The battery was permanently borrowed off PokeMax because it now has a Blue Top. There are some real silicone hoses in the picture, but the plastic looms just overwhelms them. ~$40 for the silicone hose kit and ~$40 for the plastic stuff.

I still haven't completed changing/covering stuff yet.

Thanks! You can get a starter kit at http://www.hosetechnique.com It will look bare so plan on getting plastic coverings from an auto shop. The color is Super Red.

Yup, that little bar makes quite a different while turning. You can acutally get one for about $35 from CustomStreetBeat (forgot the name). Check the Parts List thread for more info.

Kev,

I tried clicking on the link above with no luck - is it just me or is it spelled differently. I also tried search through Yahoo with no luck. Am I just technically incompetent?

Don't everyone answer that at once!!
