hopefully mods won't mind. its not my shop, its not me selling, its not a groupbuy; its me trying to help members. if its a problem or you need clarification PM me. though i wont be able to answer till next friday.
Count me in. I want to get a new trunk as I have some paint imperfections. If they can beat a price I got for it, then Ill do it.

Id say ask the fire station. The least they can do is tell you where to take it.

got my rotors today, slow ass shipping.

drilled and slotted rotors paired with ebc redstuff pads, stock calipers for now. will upgrade to the nsx calipers in a few months when i start the turbo project.



they stopping distance is reduced a lot, and u can feel the pads grip the rotors a lot more. i will put them to the test sunday

my old dimpled and slotted ebc rotors were garbage, warped and heat cracks everywhere. lasted for a few thousand miles. i dont have high hopes of these lasting long seeing how they will be going through a hell

I liked the redstuff pads at first but shortly after the install they got very noisy and only lasted me ~10,000 miles before I gave up on them.

Honestly unless that thing is on the track daily you would be satisfied with green stuff pads. I havent been let down by the greens yet. Plus they will brake much better when cold/normal driving. Also from personal experience the rotora rotors take track days really really good.

Cold brakes will be daily driven. Reds work best after a few hard stops.

got my custom exhaust on. its cat back, stock b pipe with mid muffler removed, and into tow 2.5" magnaflow high performance flow through mufflers with oem cl tips welded on. look stock but sure doesnt sound stock. its got a drone but at idle it sounds like a got a mild cam. the mufflers will stay on when i go turbo, the b pipe will be 3" from the turbo all the way to the y pipe.

edit: all thanks to jason (operationdarkie)

so im almost done with my battery relocation.

i was in the hospital a 2 weeks ago, found out that i had type 1 diabetes. my blood sugar level was so high that they were surprised that i kept going to work and still walking.
so now i have it under control and still learning all the carb counting and medicine percentages that i need. this was going to out off my turbo project by a month.

so now, just got my hospital bill, and damn. for 3 days, its in the mid 4 digits. insurance still needs to come into play. but we will see how much they will cover. so for now turbo build is put on hold.

Are you relocating the battery to make room for the turbo goodies or to balance out some of the front end weight ?

GL with that diabetes man, My mom's bf had that for yrs and never KNEW!!! one day he was prescribed blood sugar pills to drop his sugar level cause is was soo high they were amazed he was still alive. The next morning he woke up blind 100%, then his vision slowly came back, and the for the next 2 years got worse and worse and now he's only got 15% of his vision in one eye. So he's technically blind all because he didn't catch it in time.

From the sounds of it you got it early and you're going to be just fine!
congrats, what my mom's bf went through (even though I don't like the guy at all) no one should have to deal with.

Thank god he lived in canada cause he's been in and out of emerge, appointments and surgeries for the past 6 years.

Amen to the health care system which we take for granted so much here in Canada.


You're a trooper Rajca, car second, body first.

Cars can always be done later ;-)
