    Can you fit a Beaks/Tegiwa rear tie bar without an aftermarket arb & arb brace?

    Im lowering my car soon with a FRSU on some ABP springs and thought that while its in the getting that done i may as well chuck some other bits on it at the same time. However im not made of money and have spotted that the "Progress" ARB and arb brace is silly money like nearly 300 notes...

    Good budget exhaust set up?

    I've heard about people using different B-pipe applications with standard or different back boxes? I'm after a better exhaust tone and maybe a little bit of a gain?

    After an angerous rage at fitting my new head unit I thought it would be plain sailing but im now met with a second angerous rage at trying to get the side plastic trims off to hide the cables.
