I know you can ship a car to Europe for about $2k, and to India for about $3k, so maybe it would be $3k to ship to Australia and you would have to wait a month or so before you got it.

I have had lots of good results with CraigsList and would recommend it to anyone. I sold my wife's Civic, my Ducati and my 900RR through CraigsList after having paid to put them in online and print ads. It takes a bit, but you end up getting what you want.

 

Geez, anyone know where to buy Torx Security screws??

I can only find the regular Torx ones without the hole in the center. Trying to replace my HID lowbeams.

 

Try Sears hardware. That is where I purchased the set for my dad a few years ago.

 

Your kiddin right Jermaine?! Where the F did that come from lol, Australia?!

 

yeah really dude, that just came out of the blue, you never mentioned Aus ever.





dudes i gotta rant about this, it's driving me nuts. so i signed up for my chem class late in the summer, all the available spots was filled up. they had like 40 open but all reserved for incoming freshmen. the only way was to show up to lab and hope someone drops it.

so i came to the lab an hour early, sat around. as lab time approaches like 60 people came to the door, i talked to them. buncha cool dudes and cute girls. door opens and professor goes "alright anyone whos waiting for a spot wait outside and we'll see if we got any no shows" well, they got 2 spaces. there were 4 people outside that wanted that lab cause it came with good lecture times. so they drew names, and i didnt get picked. so i got this other lab now, and it's with a pretty cool TA, but all around me, like 19 people around me, are like fresh off the boat dudes from asia. swear to god, 20 frickin asians in 20 square feet. half these guys dont know what a beaker is man, and they're gonna be burning magnesium ribbons and shit right next to me. it's a lot easier to pass a class when you look forward to going ya know.

good news is, i met a buncha frat dudes.

k, thanks for reading

 

Thanks Josh....after I posted, I saw a huge Menards on University avenue so I went inside and found T20 bit for 2 bucks. That was one big Menards store!

 

i feel stupid for posting this, but i am trying to install my HID kit, and i can't even get to the fucking bulb, and i am starting to stress out.
please some help me.
call me at 651-983-7307
acurazine has nothing for this, at least that i can find, only for the brights, not the normals

 

Are you installing an HID kit or just replacing the bulbs??

I just replaced mine for the first time a couple hours ago....took a spin with them afterwards....they have more glare compared to stock. 6000k.

 

replacing bulbs.
what do i do?
its for the lowbeams, but i have no idea if i am doing the right stuff

 

I like my 19"s they are sweet but tires aren't cheap.

 

Australia Nitro WTF I hope is worth it. Sad to see you go brother

 

Take your time look at what you got before you take things apart. If it is to much go to the acura owners link I found an area that gives you a breakdown of parts book and you can figure out what to do.

 

Razz you are Asian WTF thats like me going to a Latin Restaurant and complainig there are to many Rice and Bean eatting MO FO's.

 

Glow he makes Auston Powers look like a real sexy Beeache.

 

Post Whore Josh are you here.

 

currently rollin with one blue light, and one pink one.
the blue isn't as ovewhelming as i though it would be, but i am guessing it will get darker after more than a minute of use

 

How did it go? Did you get em both changed out? How is visibility with 8000k?

 

8kk is kinda high but at least it's practical, i've seen idiots roll around with 12kk and it's just blind purple with no road illumination

 

Razzi, What the Fuck is your avatar?

 

well so far it isn't to blue, and once ts_vaj helped me figure out what i was doing, it went pretty smoothly.
But i only got one done, i need to go pick up a real t-20 tamper proof right now

 

6 posts into his responses, he starts asking for post whore josh....

 

haha.

Well i got both bulbs in, i'll post a pic of the before and after

 

You do know that they are not going to change color right? It's not like the exhaust that has to get broken in.

 

Hey, just an FYI, my buddy Kaleb and I are heading over to Jorge's to work on his Saab. Anyone that just wants to hang out, head on over.

 

i was talking more about the warm up,i never had them on for more than like 10, 15 seconds.
but i have now, and they really aren't that blue, but i will see at night

 

Hey Ken, E and I just found United Noodle, can we borrow you and your mom next time we go? There was so much stuff there that we had no idea about it was not even close to being funny.

We got some red bean paste thing that was super-yummy and a whole bunch of other stuff...

 

Actually all new HID bulbs need like 100hrs of use I think it is before there broken in and get their true color and tint.

 

never heard of it, and you wouldnt wanna bring my mom anyways. she'd go into the kitchen and start shit with the chef, yelling about how theyre doing it wrong.

where is it at?

 

I always hear about this "United Noodle" place...at first I thought it was a restaurant lol. Must be big on imported goods since alot of people refer to it.

 

Hey Jorge - I need a picture of the rear lip on your car. I don't think the aspec will cover the damage - too high

And i started to upload some photos into my gallery, but it just randonly decides that I cannot upload pictures. So I have like 2/3 of the pics I wanted to upload - the rest were denied

I had to work until 10:30 on Friday, and I worked until noon today too.. Hate working late and on weekends. All next week too (except for Monday)

 

I have a real hard time with that since the tint is determined by the brightness of the bulb and the coating of it as well. If you can find something like that on Silvania's website, then I'll believe it.

United Noodle is a HUGE asian grocery store, it's all Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, and Japanese food and stuff. They have a kitchen, but it was not open while I was there. It's just south of seven corners at Minnehaha and 24th.


I should probably bring Ken and his mom, my friend from Korea, and my Chinese friend. That way I will be able to determine what everything is since it is all in the native language...

 

The labled light color on an HID bulb is an average that it will maintain over 2-3000 hours. After passing around 100-500 hours the phenonmen "color shift" will take place. Color will change slightly from a yellowish tone to a crisper bluer tone. The magnitude of color shift will vary depending on brand, model and rated color. It is a very gradual change and unless paid close attention to, a customer might not notice. OEM 4100K Bulbs manufactured by Philips has been reported to have a more noticeable color shift than OEM 4100K Osram. OEM 4100K Bulbs manufactured by Philips has a colorshift of approx 250K after 500 hours, which will bring it to up to 4350K.

Asian manufactured bulbs has been reported to have little or no color shift. Most of them come with output stealing blue filters, which may be part of the cause

You get that thing today? Or is that from earlier in the summer?

 

Oh that is an EPIC picture!!!!

 

Has anybody else seen Bangkok Dangerous. Ken I didn't know you were starring as Cage's sidekick in that movie?!

 

Hey, is everyone still thinking that the meet before winter is a good idea?
like in a couple weeks, i think it would be really cool, especially since i had to miss out on the last one

 

Well, I finally got the insurance figured out (no check in hand, but on its way. Not sure how much though).

Aspec kit on it's way. I'm assuming that I may get lucky and have it by next weekend? Hopefully

Otherwise I will just have to settle for putting the new LED lights in my truck to hold me over until I can mod something fun

I'd be down for another meet, but it would have to be a couple weeks down the road when I have a little more free time. Right now, work is getting the best of me, so I really can't commit to much on my days off when I do get them.

 

Nope, Been looking to watching them one of these days though....I heard the original movie was good enough for a Hollywood remake lmao.

 

Jorge, feel like hosting a LARGE car project? I'll bring steaks of you choice... no lie.
