but yea, dirt cheap for the fronts nonetheless

yeah I got the tech package... wish I had gotten the 6 speed A-Spec here in Canada (equivalent to your SE down in the states).

When I saw this on ebay at the time I didn't really know if I wanted to buy it or not... it was like buy it now for $200. I put up $100 as a low ball shits and giggles offer and he actually accepted it lol

I'm in serious need of better MFTs. I started polishing the hood today with my GG6 DA on speed 5 using Meg's UC on a cyan LC HydroTech pad, and most of the scratches are gone... but I still see a few scratches on the paint They're non-circular/swirly, which I'm pretty sure is caused by me removing the the residue with my current MFT since I only did so in straight line motions.

Probably gonna try again over the weekend. Gonna hit up costco to get some MFTs for the wipe down, and maybe terry cloths for cleaning the pad on the fly.

I've been so strapped on time too. I only had time after work today to do the hood, and now the hood is clean and shiny, while the rest of the car is poo lmao

That's perfect for you! I got them from tires23.com which is in sauga. Best price in the GTA afaik. I got the TEIN Street Basis coilovers (PN: GSB90-1USS2). I got them for $830 taxes in. Wait was about 2-3 weeks, and you have to put down 50%. Ask for Billy, he hooked me up with that price.

No new updates... been polishing my car lol (joe be mad seeing this!)

Been seriously considering spacers for the rear though. If I get the fenders rolled, what size spacers would you guys recommend? The specs are 18x9.5 +45 on 235/40 tires. I'm leaning towards 20mm... do you guys think they'll poke? Natural camber atm (around -3 degrees).

Sorry for reposting the pics... figured I'd gather most of my pics that sorta show off how sunk the rears are.

It looks great to me and I'd leave it as is, but then I'm not in the camp that requires "flushness". Also, from a practical standpoint, the further out your wheels are, the more sand, pebbles and other crap they will kick up against the side of the car. I know that first hand from my fronts sticking out a little.

I wish I have both family-based and my own personal commitments that pretty much require me to stay up here in toronto for at least a few more years. Unless Honda needs a software eng such as myself up here, then i'm sol.

I agree the chrome grill looks good with the white cars, did you ever put spacers on the rear wheels I've been thinking on doing that to ?

I haven't put spacers on my rears yet, but the fenders have been rolled in preparation; just been lazy. I bought 15mm H&R DRS spacers; the kind that needs extended studs. I'm going to do a test fit sometime this week without the bolts on (not gonna drive it, just to see how it looks), and if it's still a bit sunk, I'll get 20mm bolt-on spacers instead and sell my 15mm. I'll keep you posted.

Yeah I can go much lower on the teins. Might go a 1/4" (or a little less) lower in the rear, but no more. TEIN Basics/Street Basis ride pretty soft, so I'm gonna scrape around town even more if I go any lower lol

I remember when I cared about being in the SEEYOU2CREW...

Then I ascended far above the pettiness that is attached to the group that has slowly died off and withered away....

RV6 PCD is in. No FlashPro yet (soon!), but the car definitely pulls harder. Rasp is present between 2.5-3k rpm.. I'll give it some time before I decide on installing a Vibrant res or not. Thanks optimus!

UTAH, my 15mm spacers came in and I installed them onto my rears like a week ago... just been lazy as hell to get a decent picture. Fitment is great. I'll snap some pics for you soon. I'm effectively 18x9.5 +30 rear now.
