this is just a quick snap how it sits right now, im scraping everywhere have to angle the drive way now, but I finally waxed my car and will do a photoshoot this weekend with my uncles M5 and STi
Im really hyped but scared but i have feeling its going to be a great aggressive sound, a more rumble type of exhaust. Should be getting shipped by next week. Also im hoping I dont run into problems with the tip melting the bumper. But It looks fairly close to the stock ilx muffler tip.
Goodluck fitting the 18x10.5's, I had them all around. I had to play with my fitment so much when they gave me these for SEMA. If your fenders arent rolled, youre gunna rub either the fenders or coilover or most likely both. Follow me on IG (@aaarontheasian), I can get you those ambit wheels for a really good price as well as any other aftermarket parts you need!

Forrsure thanks man, i think ive played balled with you before! You were at Eastvale with Alan and Mark and them.
Welp i really have bad luck, and yes i know ill get flamed for this, but absolutely lesson learned never ever going to jack up from the front.
I was in a two car garage so i couldnt jack from the sides and i just needed to tighten some screws on my lip really quick so i jacked it up from the front but once i was finished, it got stuck and my lip held it in, and it mustve landed on bottom of the radiator from there the leaking starts
Radiator is gone as you can see in the picture its punctured from the middle up and also bent my crossmember and slightly damaged my AC condenser. Currently being replaced today. Might put the exhaust on hold, its been a week and they havent shipped so i might just get a refund.
There is absolutely no issue lifting a car from the front if you use the proper jack point.
Good luck on the fix man.
Yeah thats correct but my floor jack recently has been rusting out itll turn left all the way and not loosen and right and not tighten so needless to say that floor jacks needs to be replaced asap as well.
I just got my car back from the shop, the radiator was by all means looked fine the only thing was a small crack on the bottom of the radiator fucking plastic. Oh well, So far so good though.
Damn man. Been a stroke of bad like while youve owned this car.
From new jobs to jack issues. Then speeding tickets and now this.
What's the story?
Dude im just unlucky.. but life is just being a hard journey for me right now haha.
STORY
I just got out of class (Mt.Sac Community College), The way the parking is setup is in columns that you have to park in an angle and that there is only one way to go either up or down. My column was going down. Im hyped ready to finally go home and bump some KANYE! Looked in the rears and the camera everything good to go, I did notice a car going down through the isle and passed me. So im good starts to reverse slowly since there is a car parked next to me i cannot see the blind side but once I can see i notice that car was stopped in the middle. ALL of a sudden she puts her car to reverse, and at this point I think my car is rolling without the clutch or halfway, When shes puts the car in reverse I thought she was going to wait but no SHE PUT THAT BITCH in reverse real quick. She reversed so fast that i didnt have time to put my car to first gear and go forward. (Note: You are only suppose to go down this isle you cannot go back up.) I just braced for impact and I cried a little inside, as she really did not see my car and when she hit me she continued to hit me. Once the collision occured she put it on drive real quick. Oh boy i was so mad, the whole parking lot heard me yell F*CK!. At this point im praying the damage isnt bad. I tried to keep my cool but nope.. first thing i told her was you better have insurance. Then im like wtf? WHY DID YOU REVERSE? WHY ARE YOU REVERSING? She didnt talk english well she had a thick latina accent, and just said "I dont know?*shrugs*Im so sorry its my fault" First accident on my first new car haha god damn i have all the luck man.
Current Situation:
The car is in the shop waiting for new parts to arrive; total cost was about $2500.. Mainly labor being half of that cause they have to take the whole back and rear end apart. Currently driving a rental 2015 Dodge Charger and I hate it, such a downgrade from my ILX But cant wait to get her back soon should be next week or so.
Finally got her back after like 4 weeks, Driving a full size sedan charger sucks ass as a rental. Top it off they charged me $31 a day when my insurance was only covering $25 a day. So i had to pay the difference in the end of $220. They did a great job, I was really picky with the car wash they did, they left it in the sun all day and it was already getting dust, my windows were wiped poorly and you can see streaks. Whatever. Total coverage expense was about $4200. They mainly just had to replace that quarter panel and new rear bumper.
Couple days later, now i just realized that i am rubbing on my rear passenger fender now. But not the other side
(Passenger Rear)
(Driver Rear)
I feel like when i got hit that side she bent my tire inward or so but you cant really tell but the shop didnt touch my tire or suspension he said that i was "good" and they just had to replace bumpers... tsk
Car looks great! I am a little biased though What springs are you on and how is the ride? Nice spacers too.
Thanks man, I'm running H&R lowering springs, A lot of people that ride my car can't tell it's on springs, but if you're familiar with the "low life" you'll definitely will feel the bumps, but then again the stock suspension in my opinion wasn't great in absorbing bumps as well. So almost close to stock.
Overall, 4.5/5.

Rear SPC Camber Arms installed made the rears close to factory specs as possible. Still to be sure rolled both the fenders. Y Pipe 2.5" and angled quad tips!
Nice stuff on what you’ve done so far man. I’ve been searching for sound clips on a quad exhaust and I think it sounds pretty good! Do you have any rolling clips on how it sounds while you drive?
Running no muffler straight 2.5" Y pipe, I mentioned it in the post.

You can expect it to sound like this .. but I dont have a current sound clip of the quadtips, If anything having an additional pipe just makes it more louder
I cant believe this happend to me so soon.. My commute to work trip at 5am on Sunday, I let go of the steering wheel for one second to reach over to push my passenger side mirror out since it was folded in, (I always push my side mirror out since its a quick tap but unfortunately cards werent on the table for me and for a silly mistake I paid a costly price.. I think my knee/thigh mightve touched the steering wheel so it went left and I hit the wall, it all happend so fast but Im okay im just banged up hit my head in the side wall curtain airbag but it couldve been alot worst,
I got cleared from the hospital no concussion taking it day by day now trying to rest up as much as I can but Im a college student and still have to study this week for midterms.. I love my car Ari to death Ive had her since December 13, 2014, my first brand new car and purchase. Moral of the story is I shouldn't rush to work even if you're running late on time, make sure you adjust your mirrors and everything before leaving.. Right now the car is being evaluated from my insurance adjuster, so I dont know too much of the details of whats going to happend. If its a total-loss, I have gap as well if anything but man I was planning to drive her till 200k miles atleast. Barely 38k miles on the odo. Either way Im thankful I didnt get severe injuries. Will update when I get further details what happens next..
Whoa, that sucks! Sorry I feel for you... Unfortunately it seems like that might be a whole lotta damage. In Canada if the value to fix the vehicle comes to half of its value or more, then it is likely a write off. Not to worry you but just be prepared.
