It's about 11km, so 20 min of driving. Are you free this Saturday? If I don't detail we can meet up so you can get the lights.
Should be alright, assuming he was in heavy traffic. Someone should come grab my resistor and get it done for me too <3 Im not allowed to drive Vincent, but if my sister is free, Ill get her to drive me to meet up with you, or you could come to my place

Hmm it might be easier if I come by to your place sometime during the weekday. I'm assuming you aren't working until you can drive? If so, I'd probably be able to drop it off since I have to drive around so much for work.

Lol but if you're house bound until you can drive, you'll only be turning the lights on and off in your driveway
Haha I'll see where I am on Saturday though. I'll let you know since we live on opposite sides of the city.

For my internship job, I'm working with kids affected by special needs. I drive to their homes where I carry out programming and specialized services set out by the organization I work for. I travel to several homes a day so it takes me all across the city.

I can solder in those resistors for you guys. It's harder taking out the module than soldering in the resistors.

IF you hear puddle splash, slam on the fucking brakes and coast through it, the chances of us getting 10" of water and not seeing it, are slim, unless you are a fucking idiot.


I've had many friends with CAI's in hondas that have been running them through winter for years, and they have been fine, through spring melt and everything, you jsut need to be very cautious of GIANT FUCKING PUDDLEs. He needs to get his eyes checked for night driving.

Megan has been pumping some solid products as of late, that exact same exhaust sounds good on a v6 accord, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1qeK544_xs

PS my buddy bought your 240 offa you...i believe it was non running, make it fucking mint, bought a new engine, put dvd deck, gauges, solid bride seat, new silva projectors, new intercooler kit, cf hood, fixed some engine harness issues drove it for a year, threw in a bigger turbo as the stock one blew, then the that engine blew, replaced the engine and the car still ran like poop, got a dui, parted the engine out, sold the shell, now some white guy owns it and its parked out front of silverstone motorsports on 99st and 63rd ave! At one point he and I had identical 240's lol.

Over 12 hours on the road later I'm back in Edmonton. First thing I notice.. so many friggen mosquitoes. The windshield was relatively clean until I hit Alberta. I want to go back lol.

It looks like the weather forecast keeps changing. As of now, it's supposed to be 19 and sunny this coming Saturday. If that's the case, I'll be detailing. Myron, I could always swing by after work on Sunday and get the soldering done if you're free. I don't know how Sanjay will get his module soldered though since he can't drive.

@Raj - Would you still like a detail done on the exterior paint? It would help improve its appearance and possible resale value.

@Sanjay - Okay if I detail this Saturday, I could possibly come by on Tuesday. If I don't, I'd probably come by on Saturday.

i might just go with the megan racing exhaust now haha.. but gonna wait a bit cause im gonna go vacation instead of drop money on my car.

OMFG that white 240sx been through hell and back haha. it was my pride and joy but gave me way too many headaches. i think that car spent 75% of its time in the shop/garage when i owned it. fuck ive seen that 240 infront of silverstone and had a BIG feeling it was my old car... damn it actually is lol


Pre-swap state


i didnt take any pics after the engine swap.

Its not that. Rajvir's TSX looks identical to my old one, for him to get a TL-S in KBP like mine would be rather annoying.

I got KBP because it only came in the TL-S

@Myron - Do you have 2 extra resistors or just one? I was working today so couldn't come by and get my module soldered. If it's just one, Sanjay can just get the lights for now since he isn't driving lol.

The main reason I got my KBP is because, I couldn't find a white TL-S in the same price range . I actually wanted a white TL-S at first and that was the only combo I had in mind. I located a few within Canada but all were asking for a couple grand too many in my books. Finally managed to find a KBP in Calgary so I went down and drove it home. Now I'm glad I have the KBP instead of white, it's far rarer and the color has really grown on me. Plus there are too many white TLs here anyway
