Baller my ass.. With 4 kids, only balling I do is on the soccer field Having said that, I have an understanding wife who doesn't hassle me too much about my car modding hobbies. Oh yeah, it helps to have a good job that pays well

Don't want to jack your thread, but let me see if I can find my some pics for ya

ed_423

those blank calipers look unsafe IMO lol

LOL now that ben mentioned it...i realized this is Flip's thread, not ben's.

benben01

Well Flip asked for it so enjoy..

2007 Ody touring when #4 was born back in 2006. Q45 HID retrofits

ed_423

holy crap those projectors in the ody!!!

benben01

yessir.. First mod on the Ody in very the first week I brought it home

FlipRizzi

driller rotors!!! drool. looks legit. definitely on the mod list now =D your Si is packin!!! very nice sir

benben01

Thanks Kids! But check you out.. At 25, you are rocking a modded TSX while I was rocking a Civic....

ssjoeboe9

Btw.... I just swapped my oems for drilled rotors plus some hawk break pads. That shit sucked! Way more complicated than American cars. Definitely not something I look forward to doing again!

benben01

Damn joe! Guess tackling a BBK will be out of the question for you lol. Changing to SS line and flushing out the brake system. Fun fun fun stuff

KillerG

Sick cars ceb, idk how you let go of that civic, looks sweet

and rofl @ the oddyssey, those projectors look demonic

benben01

Damn Killer.. If you are going follow my foot steps, you can't confuse me with "ceb" yo! Back then I had to get rid of the Civic because we were living the good life in a high rise condo in the city. Parking was limited to 1 space per unit and we had to choose. So I kept the s/c'ed AV6 and sold the Si to a young'n in college who used it for auto-x.

Keeps getting better and better Flip. Amazing work you've done.

damm ben those ody lights and civic steering wheel me want hahhha

ssjoeboe9

So stupid, the rotors have two screws holding them in place for no apparent reason. And of course they they have corrosion and have to be cut out. Then on top of that, I was unaware that the rear brake piston had to be turned in with a special tool. Why would the rear be any different than the fronts? Took me about an hour to figure that out, overall a very frustrating process. It's like they purposefully make it difficult to encourage you take it in to a shop.

benben01

Nah.. Live and learn Joe. Right tools for the right job makes a world of difference. Don't forget.. Youtube is your best friend. There's a video for just about every DYI imaginable

FlipRizzi

=D nursing school paid off. just graduated last august and ever since i started working, most of the paycheck went to car stuff. heheh i need to start saving! lol
ohnoes. im not gonna even try to do a DIY on these if i purchased them. hopefully no friggin serious problems though. they look noiceee
thanks man. you're car is coming along pretty well i might say. nice mods. i love the color. if there was only a switch to change my car colors whenever i want it would be cbp, glm, and bwp =D also, really jealous of the cleared headlights!!!

KillerG

woops sorry, i think i mixed up people i like/dislike in my head for a second

too bad i didnt get my hands on that civic I wouldve done the same thing

@flip: congrats on graduating nursing school, its a tough life going through that

VortexBlueTSX

Congrats on graduating!!! Cars looking great! As for ben, that Civic is gorgeous, and i wanted a q45 just for those headlights i love them!

benben01

Congrats Flip! Can we call you Flip Focker in the future when you are the head nurse large and in charge?

SpencerG_TSX

Looks great. How did you get the tint on your headlights? and is that a film tint on your tail lights? Also what rim size are your Ron jons. Trying to stur up some ideas for mine

FlipRizzi

thanks killerG. yeah took me 5 years lol was supposed to graduate december 2010 lol
thanks man. definitely worth it! now i can play!!!

thanks!!! hahahahahahaha damn that actually sounds so much better than my name on here hahahaha it flows! genius ben lol i'd change it if i can!
i had it done when i got my front grille wrapped. its just tint. its a lot darker now too coz i let them put another tint over it yet the light output is still the same. since i cant do the whole cleared headlights thing, this works out for me =D i have 19" ronjons with 245/35 tires.

what i dont like =/ hopefully it'll get cured and turn black???? wrong?? if not im just gonna use a paint touch up to hide it a little bit

annnnnnd the dirty car (sorry not a good photographer plus not a great time and spot to take the pictures =D)

i know my 4x4 needs a drop megans are next on the list when throwdown have them in stock

ed_423

looking good!!!

i was told 1xracing has the cheapest price for megans!

opboarding

looks like 1xracing has throwdown beat by $21 shipped. shipping might be less for people closer to wherever they are. Anyone bought from 1xracing before? I've bought from throwdown and was really happy with their customer support/response time. I'm also in the market for megans(unless ttk sells me his).

KillerG

throwdown might match you for those 20 bucks. xlr8 helped with a pm offer for me before, but he doesnt sell the megans

support our vendors id say

ed_423

benben got it from there i believe


+1 though, if throwdown or w/e price match, i'd go with throwdown

ssjoeboe9

Gameover... Flip...flip...flip (This is what comes to mind every time I see your thread lol cause its the shit!)

GameOver69

Flip... rear roof spoiler looks great. cant wait until mine arrives!

keep the mods coming.. your car looks awesome!

benben01

Mark from Throwdown is really great with customer service. 1x was cheaper but it took almost 2 weeks to get mine.

FlipRizzi

thanks a lot guys =) and yeah i think i'm going with throwdown. their prices are pretty decent. and i agree they have really good customer service. it would be nice though if mark will price match. i am in the market for some camber and or toe kit as well. i have no friggin clue what i'll be needing though hahaha still tryna wrap my head around all this modding stuff

anyways, can the moderators change thread titles and usernames???????? =D benben is right on point with "FlipFocker" love it! heheheh i hope the moderators can hook me up please!!!!

benben01

Yo Flip! There's no need for a camber kit if you are not slammed. I should have an DIY front ball joint camber kit up this week when I install my to address some rubbing issues.

shkim

Yo fliprizzi.

How much was your ct ice box? And where did you purchase it from?

FlipRizzi

hahahhah i'll try to read more about them. just been very busy with work lately. anyone want to just go ahead and list the things i need with the megans? =D im looking at dropping 1.5" or 2" the most.
I got it from ebay mate. acura of lynnwood for $420 shipped. cheapest one around i guess?

FlipRizzi

WARNING!! A LOT OF PICTURES!

denot

Nice car mate, but you have some swirl marks problem there mate...

FlipRizzi

yeah i noticed that after i took the pics. i checked it. turns out i didnt wipe/dry that part well. it may be swirls but nothing noticeable as i just got it detailed =) i think the angle of the picture made it worse than it seems. but thanks for pointing that out. hopefully i can get rid of it

ed_423

sweet pics!
