Anyone know of a good website that's not all that expensive either to unlock an iPhone?

Theoretically, I'd probably take a few items off your hands.

But that's not happening, right?

Really? Most websites look like you just purchase codes and they get unlocked. But a lot of them look like international websites so I'm curious if there is a good one that's a US seller.

iPhones don't use unlock codes. Usually carriers send a request to Apple and then you sync with iTunes and get a message saying your iPhones been unlocked.

Besides e-braking, that's about the easiest way to get a SUPER DORIFTO CAR-U started in a slide. With RWD you'd start manipulating throttle and steering to keep it from snapping over. With FWD you can just bury the go pedal and it'll pull out of the skid nine times out of ten*.

It's really easy if you happen to be turning on an off-camber turn that further disturbs the weight balance. You could totally do it again if you try. Go fast, brake hard, crank the wheel. Avoid hard, immovable objects.

*assuming good conditions, offer not always valid on loose dirt or ice/snow.
oooh im gonna go try it again.
Hopefully I don't end up like Joe lulz.

bury the throttle and mid-turn, lift off the skinny pedal.
I tried that before but all i got was catastrophic understeer

And how do you guys feel about this deal??


Did you really get your shit rekt??!?!

I'll get the springs and HUD and maybe DP.... but maybe you will want to just put that HUD in your subi.
Subi looks like a decent deal.

I really do want an STi

Im going to sell my soon to be wife's 2014 Ford Focus, and get her the new Honda HRV. It's really nice, and I think it'll be perfect for her.

I'll have some money on the side, but not enough for the STi without selling/parting out the TSX. I don't wanna lease it either... but man, if only I had enough money for 2 race cars. SMH

I mean that's how a factory unlock works, but how to you explain 3rd party unlockers like this then? I guess it's technically not a code, but you pay to unlock the imei#

so did you actually destroy your TSX? Or are you just thinking of parting out to stock and selling it?
Theres nothing wrong with leasing it either...and then you can just buy out the lease at the end.

Parents might be trading in the RX350 for a sedan. What would you guys suggest as far as something, most likely BMW/Mercedes/Audi?

Looks like he's just scheming out on a forum how to get the most $ for his ride, lol. Hopefully his agent isn't on here.

All I know is almost all unlockers buy from one unlock wholesaler. I signed up for the site imeiplanet thinking it'd be cheaper, but at the time they wanted like $199 for the unlock. F that.

I'd love to have your setup, but realistically, I'm not trying to have a TSX "racecar" that's 5AutoTragic.

Damn, that's a lot. I think I saw $100 and thinking that was too much. The damn kid can have it factory unlocked, but since his brother gave him the phone he doesn't want to ask for the information required to do it.

Used. Under 35k. Not sure what the RX would get in the market, but it's seldom used and they just want to get rid of it. I've thought about looking at the E-class.

E-class or 5 series would be nice. I guess you gotta make sure there's an extended warranty of some sort, or low mileage. You don't really wanna f with a used bmw/merc with high mileage and no warranty.

Haha. I tried to get my dad to trade it for a M3...he wasn't buying.

Yeah xtc, I thought the same thing. Those were the two that stuck out. I think it's easier to find a lower mileage E class than a decent 5 series though.

Probably cuz you're on iOS 8. Apple f'd up. Restarting the phone seems to help. I have similar issues maybe once a month.
