I was looking into changing my 3rd and 4th gear switches as preventative maintenance but for the type-s there are some troubles identifying where they all are and whether or not there are (2) 4th gear switches and (1) 3rd gear or a 2nd gear switch as well. I'll just ignore it until someone figures everything out and takes pictures lol.

@Arthur - I was planning on going but forgot I'll be on vacation. Make sure to snap some pics if you go!

@Myron - Yes.. just get those tail lights already lmao. I'm really liking the white and red combo of the sidemarkers. It looks so nice without that hideous amber light.

 

Sanjay that looks good. Did you paint the thing yourself too?



@Vincent - this is what I had in mind for the tail lights

 

Nah, I had my friend paint it for me. In the day light, the color is rather off, Its safe to say that my paint is probably that faded.

 

Myron, let's go. Are you going to the pre meet of north side guys or we should make our own?

Vincent, cancel the trip!! Lol

Sanjay, june 3rd I believe, 1-3 pm @ hawrelak park. You should go too!

 

Damn Myron those tails do look really good. It's a toss up between those ones or the TL-S tails. But I guess the bettter question is, which ones are easier to get a hold of and for what price?

 

Ah shit, I probably wont be able to drive at that point, I have knee surgery on monday the 30th.

 

i thought it was june 4th? i am down to go. we should all meet some where and roll out together (H)

 

vincent I got my switchbacks today in the mail. Did you locate those resistors we need to solder in order to don't get hyper flashing. I was reading that thread and they said that 0.12 or 0.1 2 watt ones work just fine. Anyone know where to get that shit?

also my curfew has been lifted, I'm a free man again haha for now

 

Yup, june 4. My bad.

 

Sanjay said we can get it at radio shack. Those don't exist here anymore so I'm assuming "The Source" would be more or less the exact same. Otherwise yeah, I have no idea where to find those. It would be lame if we had to resort to ordering online.

 

I went to the source today and lowest they had was 1 ohm. I am gonna ask this electrician I know about it. He's pro with stuff like that. Electrician, turned into electrical engineer, turned into building massive compressor testers or some shit like that in his garage. I am confident that he knows about this shti

 

If he cant source them out, I know of a few people who may have them. Vincent, wanna link me to that thread again with the write up?

 

When I went to the source to buy resistors I had no luck, I got online

 

@jbond2099...when u planing on doing the pressure sensor? if i am free i can give u a hand. but havnt done any in past. we should be able to figure it out.

it seems pretty easy I am sure I can do it no problem. My switchbacks are in and I wanna do this asap.

 

since i was bored for the moment i decided to test fit a wheel. still waiting on lugs and now i also need some hub rings since the ones on it from the subie are too small.

 

k so new topic, WHY ARE DEALERSHIPS IN CANADA SUCH A RIP OFF

i call west side acura today and they wanted 97.00 for the 3rd gears pressure switch and 85 for the 4th LIKE WTF

i just orderd both of them from oemacura parts for 90 shipped
like our dollar is stronger but we still get assfucked
LAME

 

damn you painted those very well man

 

lol, like i said. ive spent wayyy too much time spray bombing things

 

you think that was bad. i called them one time asking bout teh aspec kit and they told me it was 2g's

 

I forgot to ask you how you like your intake resonator removal? I love it. It sounds awesome, it has that growl to it or something. Sanjay asked me if i had an exhaust when he heard it.

 

Resonator removal eh? Guess I will have to do the same thing.

While we are in the wheels subject, heres what ive done so far...
From this:




To its current primer stage:

 

Wheels look great man.

And yea I removed the intake resonator. When me and gldcrzy did his headlights, he took his off and I did the same. It's pretty nice. Now I am thinking that I might go the custom exhaust route for sound and some performance or just removing the exhaust resonator for sound. Depends how much money I will wanna spend

 

wait wait how do you remove the intake resonator?

GldCrzy, drop that beauty!

Sanjay, are you going to apply a different paint on your wheels?

 

21 pages? holy shit haha

well my first time posting in here. (referred by darkness)

05 nbp base tl. no mods just 19 inch wheels and dark ass tint..

future mods? new wheels, suspension, some other basic stuff.... this is just my daily driver so not gonna do much to it..

 

Hey heatbag! lol. post your ride

 

@Myron - Did you find out from your buddy where we can buy those .12ohm resistors locally?

@Sanjay - Damn awesome job on the refinish. How's the door coming along? I went to Doug's Place and Cougar for a quote on the damage to my rear bumper and knick on the quarter panel, about $2100 from Doug's Place and $1500 from Cougar. Did you say a brand new front bumper is around $500? If so, I might just buy a new rear bumper if it's also the same cost and fix up the quarter panel myself since it's just a few scratches and what looks to be a paint touch up.

@HeatBagTL - Yes 21 pages and you better read every single one of them! Lol. Welcome to the forums. What kind of wheels are you running? Pics?

 

welcome heatbag!

 

im just rolling on some cheap motegis right now.. just experimenting
with fitment and larger wheels.. i plan on buying a new set soon.. possibly ssr sp1

 

 

^ its you RWD from 780 lol I have seen you around edmonton too, on victoria trail and yellowhead a few weeks ago. I am pretty sure it was you

 

Yea, RWD from 780.

BTW myron, are you going to do your tail lights by yourself?

 

I need some base 07-08 taillights first. I am thinking of picking up DEPO ones but with shipping and everything they are gonna be around 170$ or more. I don't really wanna spend the money right now. So I am rolling with type-s sides and stock tails for now. And I think that to properly smoke the tails they will have to be cut open and smoked from the inside. I don't know if I have the balls to do that. Cutting open the side markers and soldering in new LEDs wasn't hard at all so this might not be as hard as it sounds.

 

I got those resistors today. I am gonna try and install it today after work and then tonight I should have switchbacks done. If anyone else is interested in getting these they are $1.95 for a package of 2, and they can be found on southside 4411-97th street and the place is called Electrical Connections.

Vincent also like i said, there is 2 resistors per pack and I only need one of them so you can have the other one so you don't have to drive all the way southside

 

if anyone is looking for some wheels

Does anyone know how to reattach the rear view mirror? I knocked mine off and cant even attach it to the metal piece on the windshield

 

I have a scanned copy of the repair manual so I can check when I get home. I can PM you a pics or something of how to do it.

 

there's a wire that attaches to the pod on top of car.. dont know how to rewire it. i took it to a shop but they said i need to buy a brand new rear view.. !!

 

yo myron u serb do you know a sasha haha

 

hey I sent you a PM regarding the mirror.


And yea man I am a Serb and Sasha Brakus you mean? If you mean him, that's one of my best friends man.
