Honestly I never really felt body roll after I put on the sway bar awhile back when I was on stock height. But with this suspension set up I don't even know how it is since I only drove it around my streets so for all I know they could be done. But only time will tell.

So yesterday tackled yet another project..got myself new type r doors and door panels and went about to get them installed. Removing my old door shells was no problem it was when i was noticing all the differences, I noticed the new doors were power lock ready and the windows did not have the window motor...so I had to remove my window motor from the old door shells and install them in the new door (thanks Ryan for the install) The next trickiest thing was the door locks since they have to me change due to not being able to use my key to unlock them so that was a challenge in itself. So after the passenger door handle failing ended up using the white door handle which wont with my key which never worked anyway so it was pointless trying to change them anyway. so one door installed and the other side no door at all will tackle the driver side some time this week..main reason I got these doors was looking at painting the car and wanted to remove the side moldings so this will save me a few hundred bucks when i take it to the body shop.
here are some pics that everyone likes seeing now half the car is white lmao.
Oh and suppose-ably these panels are extremely rare due to it having blue carbon fibre only made 2001 Type R's had them so that was nice to find out (Thanks Ryan)
and some extra stuff laying around to get installed like speakers and just other crap lol

Just take the entire door handle and locking mechanism from your red doors and swap it into the white door.. you'll have red handles.. but who cares if your painting it anyways?? I did the same thing with my teg.. lol had a white door handle on a black door that I had to replace.
#51
Its funny I did this very same task a few months ago. Taking off the door handles were tricky indeed but I did get it done. I had to switch my wire harness into the new doors as it had the window and motor. I actually finally got around to installing the speakers yesterday.
#54
Haha good stuff Paul. Glad you have the doors sorted. It's all coming together!
And you realize, you could have it on the road if you wanted but you always slap another project onto it :P
I have a couple ideas for your paintjob when the time comes...

Actually I'm not gonna be able to make the meet, but if you're free on Friday we can get together and I can show you.
Also, lemme know when you have a day off because now I'm not going to have school anymore and would like to get that suspension installed. Free lunch for using your tools and garage

So found out bad news about my car yesterday. A valve started to tick and I checked the oil and to my surprise it was barely on the dipstick. I did about 1000 km's on the oil and that much got burnt/leaked. The head gasket is done the whole bottom end and tranny are covered in oil resudue. So time for some hard labour gonna start myself during the week. It just sucks I wanted to get this done around winter time so that I can replace/upgrade the internals but that will have to wait a little bit now.

Update!!!
Well guys my car was getting work done...again lol I work on it more then I drive this dam thing. So I have been putting this paint job off for over a year and finally got to it and big thanks go to Suboc and his Friend for helping me out couldn't do it without you. So day 1 went with all the prep and bondo and all the stupid holes I wanted gone such as the antenna, Side moldings, Rear key hole. We got it pretty much all ready for paint first night but it was getting late and still needed to get home so we had the antenna to re-bondo and the side mouldings to touch up the following morning. So as I type this my car should have all the coats on it and is baking in the oven
No Antenna!!!
No Mouldings
