Anyone from Florida that's in Toronto right now? For the past couple of days going to work, I've been seeing a grey wagon with (ebay?) headlights and Honda badges with FL plates in Toronto's west end. Definitely caught my eye since the wagon isn't sold up here.

Im alive! I've been enjoying enjoying the "In-Between" life of college graduate and full time employee.

There's been a lot of drinking involved!


Crabby- Although you've given up drinking, I believe if we ever crossed paths we would be good drinking buddies! Annnnd more importantly good "yellow cab" buddies!

I always wonder how they drive/handle. When I see them on the streets/highway, people drive like they are heading to a funeral.

According to this fucktard , I'm an idiot for buying a FlashPro and a swaybar, but putting the wheels out at a 45 degree angle is totally a better idea than something which is actually functional and adds to the car... hmmm.. k..

That not only is ridiculous......just is.

But he drives 2000 miles a year ..... He could probably forego wheels and just roll on rotors.

Its like my wheels...... I got them cheap cause they are not Stance' or Poke capable lol. Forged wheels new inbox for half price.

A real modder is doing it with your hands your sweat your tears ....... Not paying somebody else to do it. All that proves is you might have money....but you have no skills or even the passion to try or learn.


iCrap that is correct spring tool. You can borrow it from most auto parts for free with small deposit.

Something like that I prefer non HF. Worry about it breaking.





I can say I installed all mods except where it doesn't make sense or special tools.

Steer and Stop Shop for alignment after I installed camber kit.

Assortment of wheel and tire mounting and unmounting from wheels. I have installed or removed the wheels from wagon but shop puts on/take off from rims.

Muffler shop to weld in Resonator after I installed RV 6 pipe.

It been to the stealer twice since new. Both times for a smell in a/c. I got 2 wall jobs (park it near the wall and forget it) so finally fixed it myself.

Second time they bring me the wagon with "I" lit up.
5lbs of air in right front. I went beserk. Not their fault tire was flat.......it was a nail. But the fact that they didn't warn me made me insane. I actually got to speak to GM.
Ask me what I expected in a nasty tone.... I said all I expected was notification. And maybe some choices after that. You sold me a vehicle with no spare and you hand me m car with 5lbs of air in the tire.

Needless to say I hope I never have to go back

I never got why people sacrifice being able to, you know, properly drive a car for the way it looks. That's ridiculous IMO. Especially when you need to bring out plywood to get out of your driveway LOL. That doesn't only go for his car, but also people that lower the shit out of their car. Must be fun to cruise around like a granny all the time, just because you "look cool".

Well not only that but it seems like the H11 bulbs I have are not even correct.
If you look here in this picture you can see that the ring that you twist in seems in a different spot than say... this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/130690296985

But which is the right one? it's so confusing.

I may take out the useless ring. are the fog glass covers glued on? or screwed?

I've got LED fog lights, I'm pretty sure I got them from VLED. They fit fine.

Lol I thought you were trying to show 90 degree negative camber... although this is more like 170 degrees.

Are they supposed to go into the bulb hole? My LED's stop right at the edge..

I looked a while back and I can't remember the part number for them. I think there might be a picture in the DIY: Resistors for Switchbacks.

Maybe you can get an idea of what they look like?
