Very nice, looks super clean- you taking it out to the track soon? If you're thinking suspension I highly recommend the KWv3's. Ride is amazing with them.

If I can get in, Im taking to the track this weekend. I have a lot to do to get it ready though. I like KWs, but I cant drop $3K on coilovers right now. I may go with PSS9s since i think i can get a good price on them.

Yeah I thought same, however since suspension is probably the most important component to having an enjoyable daily ride I have 0 regrets with spending the extra coin- more to the point, I am very glad that I did..
You can really dial in a range from "OEM cushy" to "go-kart solid". Ask Dan at Vivid if he can hook you up a deal.

If you end up getting them, let me know and I will give you my bump/rebound settings. This way you'll have something realistic to work with / tune to your prefs after they are installed.

Here's a pic:

Thanks... I appreciate the help. I'll do a little planning and let you know what all is on my mod list and you can give me ur opinion. I'll be getting a B&M SS pretty quick since the factory shifter throw feels like a uhaul rental truck compared to the SS in my RSX, then intake, suspension, etc.

Hey no worries, that is what the 6 is all about. I can't tell you how much help I've received here from the other members since joining.
I guarantee if you post questions about the parts you are planning to buy you'll get back a ton of good knowledgeable insight.

btw I like my K&N intake, very nice sound and it is not too expensive. The mount kit and airbox for it was a pain-in-the-a$$ to assemble though.. lol.

Any of you guys know where i can get a shop manual for my car? I think that Bentley does them - I know that the Porsche factory manuals are millions of dollars. Thanks again!

CS Jeff - Your paint looks great, what products did you use? How about KWv2's, I believe they are about the same price as PSS9's?

I use mostly Griot's products. I also have a Porter Cable random orbital. I did a quick polish and wax on the fenders and hood in that pic. Under flourescent lights (in garage) you can still see a lot of little scratches as you would expect on a 6 yo black car, but overall it looks pretty good to me. I will try a little more aggressive polish next time...

The KWv2s would definitely be an option. I think they have the same single adjustment like the Pss9s. I've heard good things about both systems.
