how's the reception on the s2l antenna? good or bad? i have one, but not installed yet.

[owequitit]

In most cases, it is about the same as the OEM antenna. Sometimes it is a bit staticy (sp?) so you may want to consider a booster if you live in the boon docks.

I love the way it looks, and I don't have to deal with the power antenna crap.

Just got the Tokicos on yesterday. On "1" it rides much softer than stock, probably a little too soft. I will spend the next week or so messing with settings.

I don't like the fact that the back shocks are top adjusted too though, because it is impossible to adjust them without removing the uppright support braces behind the back seat. I will have to cut a little hole so I can get to the adjuster I guess.

Nice clean Accord. I like the rims and the paint job.

Thanks for the props! My mom has a Satin Silver Metallic '02. I love that color on those cars!

Sorry guys! Bumping my own thread here! LOL! I have had numerous people tell me that I should post this pic from the last photo shoot, so I figured I would see what you all think.

It reminds me of a picture you would see in a calendar! That is WAY hot! I can't wait to see it at the meet!

Well I got bored this weekend and decided to put an H22 intake plenum and TB on my car. The only complication was adjusting the stop screw. The stop plate on the throttle rotor looked like it was in the right place, but it was actually about 1mm off. No biggie though. There was a definite improvement in top end. While the ECU was reprogramming itself, it allowed me to pull all the way to 6800 before it rev limited. It was still pulling at 6700 about as hard as it used to pull at 6300. There seems to be more torque as well, and it runs smoother for some odd reason.

I also really need a K&N panel filter. The paper filter didn't seem to be much of a restriction before, even after I opened the airbox up. But now, you can definitely feel a difference if I pull it out and close the airbox back up.

I am also going to give it a bath today, and remove the old fogs that haven't even been hooked up for almost 3 years. They work, but I unhooked them for some reason and never hooked them back up. If I can't remember why anymore than it probably doesn't matter. LOL.

I am also going to do some prep work so that I can put a set of OEM fogs on without it looking ***.
