last year was really bad too, me and the gf were stuck in the pearson airport for almost 3 days during that whole debacle. this was after coming back from honduras where the weather was like 40 celcius every day....literally EVERYTHING was frozen. but yes toronto is a very nice city, lots to do

 

I'm assuming Springtime. I changed out my Winter rubber floor mats to the cloth ones today.

 

*cue dramatic music* All 3 engine mounts and upper transmission going in this weekend!

 

they shot are they?

 

This was taken in late winter/early spring. I assume that the rest have gotten worse since then.

 

fuck, I should really take a peek at mine, I'm sure they are just as bad, i don't get any vibrations though

 

Mine feels like an xbox rumble pack controller lololol

 

hahahahhahahaha

 

Best of luck with the install.

 

MOOARR maintenance goodies came in just in time for the weekend. BC Coilunders on their way, went with a 12/6 spring rate. A little bit of work, a little bit of play.

 

^^^ That will keep you busy......

 

Congrats on the coils, definitely makes a huge difference in terms of the way you'll look at the car

 

So, I got around to doing the transmission service yesterday and hooooollyyyy crap. I flushed it once, and while it was empty, I changed the transmission filter as well as 3rd and 4th gear pressure switches. Then filled it back up with DW-1. Right off the bat it was amazing. I didn't even make it down the block before I was smiling at my crispy shifts. I had grown so accustom to the laggy, jerky shifts I forgot what it was supposed to be like. And then this morning the car decided to thank me by breaking the linkage inside the door so I can't open my driver door from the inside. I guess that's the hate part of this relationship hahaha. Motor mounts are next, but I'll definitely get a buddy for that one.

 

Also, I saw this at the mall the other day and thought it was rather comical. I guess Lexus isn't immune to the problem either.

 

^^^ Haaa.....Lexus.

 

Decided to show some much needed love to the Rackura after work today. A friend was also bored and decided to tag along as well. No the LEDs are not purple, yes they are a ricey blue. I really fall in love with this color every time I wash it. Also, since I'm ballin' on a budget for now, I went to a local shop and had the Stage 3 exhaust mod done. Not too loud, but $100 well spent. Counting the days till the BC coils show up. Expect more high quality pictures when school starts up again because the club will start having meets again.

 

lol the Rackura

 

My friend and I were joking around saying that when the coilovers come in and it has more of a stance, it has to have a cool nickname. It's also a habit, since the CliTaurus I give cars funny nicknames. Way more entertaining than normal names.

 

there has been an abundance of RBP/ABP popping up on here lately! I love it. Ur car will look great with coils man!!

I need a set badly, Every time I go out to drive it I look at it and I just SHM in shame LOL

 

Thoughts on Hyper Black ES2?

 

Go white ohhhhh man. White ES2s on ABP/RBP looks positively

You can go with something not super aggressive in offset too if you're nervous about rolling the fenders

 

Also look at Vordoven - They're coming out with a very nice looking 6 spoke that costs next to nothing: 18" FORME 6 - Gloss White - Vordoven

 

When I was washing it yesterday I ran my fingers along the fender and it feels like some of them are half rolled. The back two if I remember correctly, were rolled on the back half. Is that a thing or am I just imagining it?

 

I believe the rears come half rolled from factory

 

Okay so I'm not crazy. Thos white wheels are so cleann. But they wont stay that way hahaha

 

yea the white looks good but id stay far far away from them, you'll lose your mind just trying to keep them half clean lol

 

+1

 

just lol at the front and side mounts, completely seperated

 

damn

 

When they came out, all I could do was laugh. The car feels significantly smoother now.

 

Making progress

I should do my mounts after this winter as well, and I've been loafting hard on the transmission maintenance, which I should really get about seeing as I have everything I need at home already

 

Saw this on facebook from Bruce today and immediately thought of Steven Bell. Simple, but it seems like it could change the entire engine bay.

 

 

I currently have the mid muffler removed and a Dynomax resonator in place of the stock one. Why do I think removing the two rear mufflers would be a good idea?

 

Thanks! I like it.....obviously.

 

Came home for a wedding this weekend and got to spend some time with my baby!

 

the RACKURA

 

Just waiting for Black Friday/Cyber Monday to roll around with some good deals, then it's BC Coils and wheels. I can't wait.

 

whens that?

 

Late November, hopefully the vendors do something.
