Why does your CA20 sound better than his VG? No offense.

lol^ my freind thought it would be funny to cut off my muffler and weld on somepiping to make it come out da side of may car.
also we added a redbull can exhaust tip

prob cause of the redbull can

or maybe because his exhaust is gone after the cat lol... mine at least makes it to the back of my car
also posted a new vid very short one

Awesome. I love that JDM tight steering angle when you were doing that donut(JK but it looks like a load of fucking fun, too bad I don't got the balls to do it). As for your tension rod, why not just run the stock  s13 one? It's not adjustable, but it gives you 6.2 degrees of caster and it's a hell of a lot cheaper. Get some poly ones or some used ones with poly bushings pressed in and you're set. I used stock ones and it's holding up just fine.

i have the stock s13 ones which i will be putting in until i get adjusatble.  but maybe your right i should just get new bushings.
got any suggestions for bushings to get?
