Yeah - the king springs are really nice for the '162 (I think the generally good decent suspension geometry comes into play there a bit) so they handle a treat.
Feel better than having 1/4 king springs now?

Hey,
yeah they feel really nice
there is still some body roll but i heard the rear sway bar helps that a bit too... handling is nice though...
Just checking about a JDM ECU for my car, which i should have in a couple of weeks. I love taking the bottom of the air filter box off, makes a really nice note hehehe
especially with k&n filter
I'll keep u posted on the ecu!
Regards
Adrian

Yeah wouldn't mind chuckin her up on the dyno after that...
I got a whiteline rear sway bar on the way, should be here in the next week... Bit unsure about installin it, i heard the fuel tank has to be dropped...
I think 2.25" exhaust with redback muffler would be next after that, but yeah i think i might pick that jdm ecu up soon...
Cars going alright so far...

That looks similar to the list of crap I've done to my car, except yours has slightly more suspension related stuff that I haven't actually got around to yet
Must be in awesome nick though - I'm jealous

Got a Redback muffler off a mate and yeah installed it today, got it installed for $30...
It sounds wicked as...
Its wierd the engine sounds like a Race 4age engine now, at 3200 rpm u can hear like a change in pitch (does anyone know what this is) and then the sound sorta wears out after about 4500 rpm when tvis comes in, but it sounds damn nice down below. I got it measured at 3200rpm and i got 87db... so its pretty alright...
Did an oil change today, i got optimax in her instead of Regular and shes got Castrol Magnetic, revs out very quick with this oil...
Next thing might be GT4 brakes,
Getting tint done this week probably, driver/passenger doors are gonna be 35% and the rest will be 20%....
