1. Is there suppose to be screws/bolts that come with the spoon x-brace? Not seeing any in the box. Are the screws already attached to the car? I'm thinkin not.

I'm pretty confident that positive thoughts are not going to keep the x-brace attached.

2. Just got a cusco 3-piece kit as well. I see 2 bolts there......Is there anything else I am missing? Do I need bolts to attach this as well. 2 is not enough. Need 6?

3. When is the next tech-day?

All directions are in japanese.......I can't read japanese. But I can read on the cusco instructions.....

"THESE PARTS ARE FOR JAPAN ONLY! DO NOT USE IN ANY OTHER COUNTRY!"

Well, the Spoon xbrace came with different bolts, but I am sure you could use the factory bolts. As for the other piece, PM Seminole because he has the same chasis brace.

OK, found the x-brace bolts taped to the inside of the box(odd). Also crawled around under the car.....I'm guessin the 3-piece will attach to the frame. Need to look at seminole's set-up.

Thanks Johnny.

I have both to install also. If two or more heads are better than one, I would be happy to do a group install - especially if we can get Seminole to come and let us look at his car.

As for the bolts on the blue bars you reuse the honda bolts. The bolts under the engine are 8 inches and take several minutes to get them out. The rear bolts are easier.

You need 2 jack stands, and a jack. MAKE SURE THAT THE CAR IS COOL!!! Your nose will be about 2 inches from the exaust manifold!!!

Muz quote:Why is that so odd? Shippers do that so they don't get lost during transit or if the box has to be opened for any reason (eg; Customs).
Mostly because the spoon cross brace was wrapped in plastic and then sealed inside a spoon bag with the instructions inside the spoon bag. The screws were outside the sealed bag. Why not put it all together?

In any case I need some long carpets from you MUZ and a trunk pack.
