Nice progress looks great

waaasobe

i did the license plate recently its super easy to do but you have to bend the bottom and top of our plate. i was going to do the instal but, my guys cut me a pretty wicked deal so i let them do it.

the license plate at the front like it was ruins the entire look of the car it was the only logical step lol. thanks man, you car is gorgeous, I'm gunna need to save to get that sport bumper you just picked up how much did that set you back ?

rawger

Good stuff man, looks great! Glad y'all finally got some sun hahaha.

waaasobe

hey guys its been a while, so a little while ago i bought some swichbacks from ijdm toy and after 2 weeks of me having them one of them burnt out. i called ijdmtoy in the hope that they would be reasonable and replace the product but their customer service is absolutely horrible so i told them i never wanted to deal with them again and went with vled switchbacks.

heres the difference between the ijdmtoy light and the vled


the light on the passenger side is the ijdm unit and the left is the vled. the vled is crazy bright at night i love it!


i also put leds in for my fog lights, my buddy gave these to me for free and their not to bad. they're only there for show so I'm quite pleased.

UTAH TSX

How about a video of the switchbacks in use at night, been thinking about getting the vled ones also and did you have to take he headlight out to put them in ? I hope not I just had them out to put Osram cool blue intense bulbs in

Looking good man.

xtcnrice

looks good man, keep up the good work!

waaasobe

ill get a video for you tomorrow some time. no i just went through the fender. take off that one screw on the fender line thats mid way up and push the fender liner back then, shove your hand up there. the passenger side is a bit of a bitch though, because its so tight with the washer fluid reservoir there.

dakneep

Looks really good man!

Hey bud, did you end up getting the load resistors to get rid of the hyper flash?

I did it the pain of the ass way and took of my bumper both times, but first time was to bake my headlights to remove the reflector and install the switchbacks.

Second time was after I got the load resistors as I couldn't take the hyperflash anymore. Highly recommend to get the resistors and the bulbs together.

Let me know the next time there's a meet going on.

waaasobe

i have the load resistors but i can't be bothered to put them in, too much hassle atm. haha yea i don't want to do that just yet haha.

man i totally forgot i have your number i have been to a few meets this week. we have a whatsapp group that we plan everything on. it gets a little physical at times but its a great place to get to know some of the guys and make it out to meets. message abrieluno on azine if you would like to join. but ill deff try and keep you posted for the next one!

ssjoeboe9

I made a DIY for the resistors!

Follow my easy guide and youll be good to go!

waaasobe

its been a long while since i actually posted anything so here we go !

i got vleds for my fogs and they are absolutely next level. you have to spend the cash but you get a fantastic product.




annddd this happened today :'( for those of you who are interested my room mate backed up into my car... the hood is dented at the edge and i have a nice hole in my bumper. so can anyone say modulo front and repainted hood?

xtcnrice

I actually like the 09-10 Type S front lip look on a dark coloured car.. it looks aggressive yet clean imo. but eh, can't go wrong with modulo

you coming to the meet this sunday?

waaasobe

yea dude the type s lip is nice, I'm going to see if i can try and salvage the bumper once i get a new one.

I'm going to try to. i have a pretty busy weekend ahead of me. are you coming out ?

xtcnrice

yeah gonna try as well. I'm east end though.. so if I do show up at Sq1 and there's a cruise west, I likely won't be part of it. I'm pretty busy too.. just have a small window Sunday afternoon. I've only seen the crew like twice haha.. it'll likely be the last meet of the year.

waaasobe

sooo i got an early christmas present !!!! i wish i didn't live in canada just so i could put this thing on.

i feel like some sort of hoopty driving my car around all hacked up

xtcnrice

fuck yesss...

modulo rear group buy!

waaasobe

seriously i think we should do that next season

jeroplex

where did you buy the modulo?

waaasobe

picked it up at acura oakville, worked out cheaper than all the us dealers i called.

UTAH TSX

Nice modulo I was surprised how much it changed the front of my car you will love it

waaasobe

yea man, I'm super excited for the spring to put this bad boy on !

did you get that video i sent you with the switchbacks ?

ssjoeboe9

Do any of the clips/fog light covers, mesh for the lower part of the bumper come with?

UTAH TSX

I didn't get the video, please send it again

waaasobe

the mesh does come with the bumper. i have to check for the fog light covers i haven't really looked through the box yet. there are also a whole bunch of screws and mounting hardware that comes with the bumper as well.

sent it again let me know if you get it !

UTAH TSX

Got the switch back bulb video thanks , do you think it would look stupid without clearing the headlights ?

xtcnrice

Not stupid looking imo, but not worth the money/effort. By default they will be white, so with the amber reflectors on it'll look like a lighter amber than you're used to now. When you signal they should "switch" to amber, and with the amber reflectors on, it'll likely be similar to what you're used to now, but just brighter. So, light-amber to amber... I might as well just stay stock until you clear the headlights. This is just my opinion, though.

iCrap

Yeah i think it'll look dumb unless you clear it.

UTAH TSX

Not to sure about baking my headlights

xtcnrice

Same. People always claim they sealed it properly afterwards. Then one day they complain of condensation in their lights.

Honestly I don't mind the amber much... I think I'll just leave them.

waaasobe

i don't think it would look stupid but, it wouldn't look right. i feel your apprehensiveness towards baking your headlights hence why i didn't do mine. i bought mine off eBay and so far they are mint so, thats an option if you want cleared headlights. if you're interested i believe the sellers name is fishcake321, i payed roughly 400$ for the pair which is a fantastic deal because, most other headlight sets are in the 1000$ range. but, if you feel absolutely compelled we have a guy up here that does a pretty good job clearing headlights. he's story05 on the forum and his ig is storycustomz.

ssjoeboe9

Unsure about baking headlights...

...Boosts automatic tsx to 18psi

iCrap

that trans is a ticking time bomb lmao.

opboarding

Baking my headlights was one of the first things I did to my car, and I've never modded a car before this. Just add some extra silicone to the perimeter of the lights and they'll seal back up no problem.

waaasobe

those gentlemen are all facts lol but, luckily utah seems to be a bit of a mechanical stig i think he'll be alright lol


wrenching around and mucking about in that respect seems perfectly normal to me. but, baking headlights just sets off sirens in my head i don't know why. also i think i would get murdered if i ruined our new stove lol

happy new year gentlemen !

so i tried to adjust by ebrake the other day and the jam nut just wouldn't move so i decided to take a few things out to see if there was anything holding it up. so far my efforts were futile. any help guys ?



but all is well because santa dropped by to cheer me right up ! huge thanks to konstantinos for telling me about the eBay seller for these, i saved 200$!

xtcnrice

for a sec I thought you bought the euro bixenon headlights off konstantinos
