MC MiYoung3269

The fuck are you going to to get alignments? lol My guy does it for $50

iCrap

my local shop wants $70 but they will redo it anytime for free within 6 months.

Also what the fuck $900? Is that including the springs?

There were a few fouls in the 3rd and 4th quarters on the Raptors that were very, very questionable. The one that pissed me off the most was Lowry getting a blocking foul when it was clearly a charge. We gave up at least a point here from the resulting free throws.

Back on the other end, a VERY similar play happened where DeRozen was given a charge. I agree, it was a charge. But if you're not going to call it at the other end, you don't call it at this end either. His basket went in, but obviously didn't count. This could've been a 3 point play (two to say the least). Instead, it was zero.

Actually, there were quite a few fouls they called on Amir Johnson that were questionable as well, which eventually got him ejected from the game. And he was on fire. He could've made the difference in the game.

I agree the Raptors didn't exactly have the upper hand in this game, but this was partly because of questionable calls given to them like the ones mentioned above. I'm not even sure if the Raptors ever had the lead since the second quarter TBH, so yeah I agree their performance wasn't top tier. But if Amir didn't get ejected, and Lowry didn't get that blocking foul or DeRozen not getting the charge (to say the least), we probably would have won.

I know I'm just ranting my ass off because I'm a Raptors fan. I still believe the NBA is scripted though . Only Lillard can beat the script.

There's a DIY somewhere on here exactly for the S Techs. Check that out to gauge the level of difficulty involved. It's pretty simple IMO.

TSXy Luster

I like H&R better.

Also, check out the Suspension/Wheels/Etc... sub-forum, there are at least 3 threads comparing H&R to H/S-Techs.

iCrap

Why do you like the H&R better? Ride comfort?

Whoa... I paid like $165 cash for spring installation and alignment!

iCrap

I'll pay... nothing. To install it in my garage lol.
Well that and whatever alignment costs.

Where the hell did you go??

rawger

Eh, I don't know or at least I don't believe it. I'd have to go back and really watch the game. Of course in reffing a game, mistakes are going to be made when you go and look back, it's already happened 2-3 times in the playoffs where the league admits a call should or shouldn't have been made. Unless it's blatantly obvious what happened, I don't really buy into the conspiracy stories, especially when the calls are even for both teams. The only series I know for sure was rigged in terms of calls was the Lakers and Kings in 2002 Game 6, the whole Tim Donaghy issue...poor Kings.

I didn't even know Amir was ejected though. That sucks, I know he had 18 points or so and then he picked up his 4th foul.

There is a place that near the university. It's off of Forsyth, called carlitos tires. Kowloon recommended me there. Dropped it off around 10:00am and picked it up like at 4:00. They did a good job, and really a great price.

VR1

Not sure why I'm getting an alignment, but the shops I called said it was necessary, and some people on here said it was. Gonna do some more research. And who's your guy that does it for $50?! I asked this place near me and evs.

iCrap

Yeah you DO need an alignment, after driving it on the new springs for a week.
But not a fucking $150 alignment lol.

Vr1, you should know, as big of a shop as evs is....its going to be expensive..
when a shop becomes nationally known, it wont likely be cheap. lol
plus they always have lambos and ferarris and stuff in their bays

TSXy Luster

Euro Hondas > *

Yea I always see their stickers on Lamborghinis and stuff. Still looking for other shops in the Katy Area.

people from different states know EVS. that's how big and nationally known they are.

the houston crew gets their alignment done at one stop.

TSXy Luster

Ever brush your teeth, and then right after go........wow what did I eat that made it smell so bad?

opboarding

I said that once after spending the evening with your mom.

VR1

One Stop? I put that into maps and it said it was like a hour away lol. Are you talking about the one on W 26 St?
Ideally I'm looking for one around 77494.

TSXy Luster

reported ryan for inappropriate post.

rawger

What is so inappropriate about grabbing some lunch with your mom?

opboarding

Hey, you are the one who is making it inappropriate. What I meant by it was that I took her out on a date a fine restaurant. We then proceeded to eat shellfish and garlic bread, which is why our breaths smelled so bad.

rawger

TSXy needs to get his mind out of the gutter.

benben01

Ryan went on a hot date?

rawger

Word on the block is Ryan didn't call her back.

VR1

Has anyone ever seen a set of MB Battles on the Cu2 TSX? One of the guys in the Houston crew has a set on his TL which I've seen a few times, but I'm having a hard time visualising the wheels on the TSX. These are the ones:





Probably in Gunmetal/Gray instead of Bronze though

rawger

I think these are what you're looking for?

I know these aren't it, but damn that VBP

Jaheri_cbp

I'm trying to get my brother to look at that blue 6spd cu2 in winter springs you sent me the link to roger.. That color is tits

VR1

^^yup those are the ones in the first picture. Now that I look at it I think I would need a but of a drop to pull of the look right. And it's wheels or drop right now. That VBP TSX on the Works is amazing.. One of my favorites. If only there weren't so expensive.
I saw a pic of Work Meisters on a TSX and..

rawger

That color is so sexy. I've seen that owner of the VBP with the picture I posted put some stuff on instagram, he has the V6 one also with an exhaust. Sounds sooo good.

Are you trying to trade for the VBP one or is it for your brother? Lol.

VR1

Looks like I can get a set of XXR's for $600 in 18". I'm tempted since it's like the only good looking wheel in my price range.. IDK if I should though.. Don't want a cracked wheel.. But they look sexy.. Have some concavity too...

rawger

So I'm about to box and send my phone in for repair. Take the Sim card out and that's when I notice my old phone doesn't use a Micro Sim card. Son of a bitch. Probably have to see if the T-Mobile store near me carries an adapter.

iCrap

I got an adapter for a few cents on eBay. You can also just make one by cutting up an old credit card.

There is the risk of them cracking and then there is also the risk of the finish on the wheel failing and peeling off... from what I've read on them. Save up and get something better quality.

rawger

Yeah I was looking to buy one from there, didn't want to be phone-less for the time it takes to ship out though. I already bought the damn shipping label so I need to ship it out by tomorrow now, if not today. An article did say they started selling these in stores for $5.

YOLOSWAG
Had my coils on for a while now and still haven't gotten an alignment
There's really nothing they can do cept fix your toe

VR1

^Who's your guy for the springs? Need moar low.

VR1

Also looking at Bremmer Kraft.. $660-720 for a set in 18". Not sure on the quality, but a lot of guys on the BMW forums run them. I like the BR10's (rep. Enkei TSP6).


If Acura would have just made the OEM SE wheels in 18" and charged a few more bucks, I wouldn't have to go through this. And I would've finished my homework instead of looking at wheels.

iCrap

the struggle.
Just lower your car and save up and get nice wheels later.

I'm doing springs and tires right now.... i'll replace my wheels eventually..
