Woot thanks again, I guess I'll go with [s]competition H4 bulbs, I just gotta find out where to buy upgraded harnesses.[/s]

Harnesses are too expensive haha, something in the Ultra-H4 area will do :P

Cibie lights are greater than even their biggest competitor, Hella. On my brothers 240 I noticed the lights leaking around the center, hot spot, area.

So.. Cibie 200mm H4 housings and Sylvania zXes, good combo? It'll run about $200 in total, which isn't too bad for great quality lighting. Now all I gotta do is blow my current cheapo stuff so I HAVE to replace them :P

Woohoo triple post lol. Lots of questions in this post :P Sorry in advance if these start getting annoying.

I was just looking at KO Racing's stuff, and they seem to have a good variety of parts for the MR2. They have an intercooler kit, air intakes, springs, struts and some other cool stuff that I'd like for my car, including a gas powered engine lid prop rod ahaha. Thing is, should I go with them or Twosrus? Anybody have any experiences with KORacing? The prices are similiar, it's just that I've heard good things about Twosrus and would like to know if KORacing is also reputable. Also, where can I get a GReddy SP exhaust? I've seen a couple people rocking them, including Oteck, and I like how it sounds and looks close to stock. Last one, is it OK if I run different struts in the front than the rear? For example, can I use Konis in the back and rock Tokicos in front?

So many questions D:

greddy sp are rare nowadays since they have been long discontinued but they do pop up once awhile from 350-450 depending on the condition. im still looking for a nice one as a spare
regarding mixing struts, i wouldn't do it your ride wouldn't match up and only ghetto's/hacks would do that sort of thing along.

I got my gas shock rod from ebay awhile back and i prefer it over the twosrus since it's more flexible where you can mount it. drop by my place one day and see all my nifty bits and i can give you pointers and advices

There are quite a few people who have done this successfully, and it's not that bad. Just because perhaps we all can't afford a full set of brand new suspension parts like some people, doesn't mean that they are ghetto/hacks. Insulting people who can't afford everything new and fancy is just rude.

Thing is, I'm not very mechanically sound and I doubt I'll be able to match up different struts. I'll just be safe and go with a full set of struts from the same manufacturer.

I'll continue looking for a GReddy SP, but do you know of any other exhaust systems that look close to stock? As much as I want to go with an EMS or Berk one, they don't look very stock and I like my car as close to factory as possible, with the addition of a few sleeper mods ;)

And I'll definitely drop by one day Oteck; right now I'm just busy with exams and will be getting ready to go on a Christmas ski trip with my family. Hopefully I can come by sometime in January; I'd love to see all your nifty bits and stuff :P

we both think the same way, im keeping my car stock looking while being drastically altered inside. There isn't many stock like replacement around the Fujitsubo legalis R the only one that i think is still being sold and the mongoose from UK... Im not to fond of dual canister muffler styles like the KO/EMS(motoria) aside from the berk which has it's unique growl.
But sounds aside i've been spoiled by the sound of my v6 so all 4cyl to me sounds like civic farts :BanMe:

Lol civic farts. Hopefully a good air filter in combination with either the GReddy SP or Fujitsubo exhaust won't be so.. farty :P

As for the Fujitsubo, it looks and sounds nice and I'll definitely look into sourcing one for a good price. Thanks you two :P
