Glad to help! That's quite a bit of savings actually! Have fun! And beer is beer, I'm not going to refuse on that :roll eyes:


@vince.. thanks! that would be my next project. by the way, where did your friend (Adam??) get the plastic bag that he used to cover the seats?

 

Thanks man. Still cant believe what my Cannon point n shoot can do being 7 years old lol. As for coils, my back already hates me enough so I'll be getting some lowering springs. 17's and a A-Spec front kit + front re-spray would be nice too. Hopefully next year

 

get some coils that have dampening option so you can set it on soft. And then have the ability to raise it in winter. I had springs on my TL and I was fine, but having coils would have been better

 

@Arthur - Those bags were just from my garage. It doesn't matter which bag you use, as long as it can cover the majority of the seat to help trap the heat inside and "bake" them. The longer you can leave it out and exposed to heat for the steaming effect, the better. This way the rejuvenator oil can be absorbed into the leather and restore it.

@Silence - I've had coils on my car for quite a few months now. The ride is a bit stiffer but nothing uncomfortable. I didn't opt for the dampening feature since I figured it's too much of a pita to adjust them anyways. Look up reviews for higher rated coils and it shouldn't be a problem in terms of ride comfort. Good quality coilovers aren't cheap, so be prepared to spend at least $600.

 

Black hides alot of the imprefections in the wheel, this time around I didnt bother filling in any of the scratches and rash after sandblasting, just sanded them down. Its just enough to tie me over this summer and back to being used as winter wheels. I have my eyes set on a new set of Vossens.

Thanks dude.

Im sure I saw a fellow azine member on 137ave by leons on Wednesday around lunch time. White, TL-S, with lip kit and blacked out emblems, anyone?

 

Please don't tell me it's the thin 5 spoke ones haha They are nice, but they are too open, you need some big brakes to make that shit look good.

And that white type s is the same one you commented on on Jadran's instagram. It's his buddy

 

I'm mostly concerned for ride quality as its such a short wheel base and I do a lot of "off road" driving to go camping in the summer time. I'm also not really looking to drop the car too much cause of that. I had a buddy drop a car on coils and I DD'd it for a while and I found it really uncomfortable. That being said, when it comes time for suspension mods I'll be doing a ton or research on what to get based on my needs and wants.

 

Nice meeting Darkness and Sockpuppet, in a span of 3 days haha.

 

Also had to pleasure to help Craig Mactavish at my work on the weekend, awesome guy!

 

Heck yes




Nice meeting you too dude. Love that TSX.

Justin, you back yet?

Lets make a list for sunday's Honda meet.

1. Arthur

 

@jbond - daam which location?

I think I'm free on sunday..

1. Arthur
2. Jeff

 

Yeah I think ill show up for once.

 

I am asking Elvis to let me drive his car to the meet since he's in Europe but he's being a bitch

 

^do it. Haha

 

he's got people taking care of his house, and they have his car keys. but he won't let me drive it haha

 

Here's the event on facebook with the details: http://www.facebook.com/events/303156963116993/

If I'm not camping this weekend I'll be out.

 

@Jeff - Very cool! Where do you work?

@Justin - What's cost for the passport 9500ix's?

@Myron - Lol just go to his house and tell the people there that you forgot something in the house. "Borrow" the keys while you're looking for this mysterious missing item.

I'll probably be detailing this Sunday so won't be able to come out.

 

Justin...assuming it's less than the $550 I just paid at Visions, tell him by PM...I don't think I can bear to hear cost.

Ah...what the hell. I'm happy with the $150 off that I got. And it is a really nice piece of kit. Had it less than a week, and already the regular falses on the way to work are gone.

Is there anything GPS can't do?

 

I'll be at the meet, finally its not in the late evening, still gotta go to work after though...

I'll be rolling in a Lexus by then though...

 

@Vince - I work for SitefinderGPS and I'm the manager at DiscoverGPS, we are a Garmin GPS Distributor and deal with the oilfield too.

 

you're getting a lexus?

 

Lol sounds like Elvis. After all that help getting him the parts and installing them, tsk tsk, for shame Elvis, for shame. haha

 

yea I know right, he just stopped answering to my text messages lol

 

any of you guys know somoene with a 2G TL and a roof rack? I need one at the end of the month and I am not sure I wanna buy one yet. I will leave a deposit as well, need it only for 3 days only

@sockpuppet (don't know your real name ) - Just an update on the Lexan. It has been holding up perfectly these past few weeks and it has been through several washes along with almost daily Henday driving. Is there a way to still use Lexan for yours even though there is a curve to it?

@Jeff - Sounds really cool!

@Sanjay - Would you be able to do me a really big favor? When you get a chance, can you measure the distance from the ground to the bottom of the fender at both the front and rear tires? Once winter rolls around, I want to return my car back to stock height. I may have forgotten to measure before the coils got put on

@Arthur - You're baller, buy them! It's crazy how many sets of wheels and how cheap some Americans let them go for. My cousin recently posted 2 sets of his wheels for sale since he has 2 other sets. It must be a California thing

 

Yea. It's so much cheaper to mod a car in states. We always get screwed by shipping fees. I already gave the seller a shout to give me a shipping quote. We'll see.

 

Had these mounted a while ago, never got around to posting a shot. Type-s badge reapplied and CF domed decals to go with the rest of the CF theme.

 

I saw these for sale, nice wheels. I like your wheels better tho.

 

Vince that looks great man good job.

by the way I still have those spacers in my garage I forgot to give those back to you

 

@ Arthur - Dooo it, those wheels are sick.

 

Any pre-meet for tomorrow's Honda meet? I guess it's not going to be as big as we did last year.

 

What time an place is the meet going to be?

 

See you boys at the meet

 

So there's no pre meet?? Cause I'm down for a pre meet

 

Petrolia shopping centre at 1 am!

check the link for more details http://www.facebook.com/events/303156963116993/

For those who want to meet before the the actual meet so we can roll in at the same time, text me @78zero 99three 479eight.

 

At the risk of being a stickler, that should be p.m. When I first read it, I thought it seemed like an odd time to meet.
