Well Sanjay, dont drink to much bud then haha, .

@Vince - So that means i need to order up a ballast and relay for the fogs then. I did take a look through the site but im not quite sure if im lookin at the right ones. Will look more into it an maybe ask your oppinion on it.

So does everyone ok with meeting at the Dream Tea house at heritage at around 2 or 3. I have to be somewhere after, but we must celebrate Sanjay's b-day with epicness, . I was goin to suggest West Ed. Mall, but parking there sucks ballz. Least thats what i noticed everytime i go there. Let me know which location so i can set somethin up, an I'd like some help with a surprise. Thanx

Here is the address for the Dream Tea House, just to make everyone's life easier.
Heritage2160 109 Street

So to anyone who's going we might have to push the time to around noon but please let me know what time is good for everyone.

 

No I don't have anything just stock headlights! They honestly seem lacking in terms of Coolness LOL. I've had 6K's in all my previous cars they look great but I want to find a pure white light, I think that'll look great on WDP.
Mind if I see your lights this week Vince? We're almost neighbors LOL so I can come by or something whenever you're free.

@Danzio - My headlights probably aren't the best examples since I've color modded and stuff. Here is a good comparison thread between the CBIs and Morimotos. From my experience with both bulbs, CBIs are a ton better and Morimotos seemed to die on my quite fast after a couple months of usage. They just didn't seem bright anymore, I had a pair of 5000K on me and my buddies car since 4300K seemed really purple and ugly. http://www.hidplanet.com/forums/show...ight=cool+blue

@Vince - I have TSX-R clear lense in my headlights right now, but color modded. I screwed up the insides of my headlights so they shoot kinda higher at a further distance. I might be getting a new pair of headlights and not going with the color mod.

 

@ Sanjay - happy early bday man! I think I already got plans for saturday tho haha..

@Quyen - If it is this saturday at noon I probably won't be able to make it since we're celebrating my gramps 94th or something bday, if it was later in the afternoon I could make it haha

 

Sorry guys i meant sunday, is that ok with everyone?

 

All good, thanks bros.

This group buy is coming at the worst time ever haha, my front crank seal is leaking super badly, going to get that fixed and timing belt at the same time from westside acura.

 

Ahh sunday should be fine for me lol. I'll have to get a new front lip for my car since my buddy at west side cracked it...

 

E-bay mang, sweet thing about the TSX, since it was sold outside North America, you have alot of options for front lips and cheap too!

 

Guys need the BEST body shop in the city!!!!! ASAP! Give your suggestions! thanks guys!!

 

@Quyen - Yeah most sites always have them bundled into a kit which includes bulbs, ballasts, and a relay harness. You could always order 5K/6K bulbs if you ever want to switch to white and I can sell you my 3K bulbs if you want the JDM look.

Can we do the Dream Tea near Whyte ave? It's a bit more central because otherwise the Heritage location is like a 30 min drive for me on the Henday.

@Daniel - Yeah for sure I'll be free tomorrow evening. I'll PM you my number.

@Jeff - That's shitty to hear. At least the new lip won't need a heavy paint correction lmao.

@Ricky - I had good luck with "Doug's Place Too". But Tai reports his white color match is a bit off. Supposedly "Reflections Autobody" is good.

 

@Quyen - yeah, whyte is better for me also

@Ricky - what happened to your car?! but yeah, my hood and front fender dont match up the best with each other from Doug's Too. when i was looking around for my car, the recommendations i got was Dougs, Relections and Jim Youngs.

@Vince/Daniel - its crazy how close we all live to each other haha


ps. gas is at 99.9 !!!

 

@Sanjay - Happy early b-day. So i assume your ok with sunday at say noon?

@Vince - Sweet, how much? I still have no idea whether i have hids or not, cause it looks like hologens to me, cause if i already have hids then i just need the bulb. Do you think 50 W is too much, my low beams kinda grow a bit dim everytime i turn the wheel.

@ Tai - DAMMIT!!!!!! Should have waited, haha. I got gas on the weekend, oh well guess i have to wait again.

@ Daniel - Hey man you up for bubble tea?

Where's everyone else? They haven't chimed in for some time now.

 

@Quyen - Fogs dont come as HIDs. You'll need relay, harness and ballasts lol

@Vince - True haha...I'll wait to get my new spoiler and front/rear lip painted in the spring/summer lol

@Sanjay - yup...my current lip is from ebay lol. Might order from nextmod tho

 

@ Jeff - Sorry i meant for my head lights, im not sure the kit that Vince has a ballast an relay. Im goin to order up new lenses pretty soon and was thinkin to put a 6000K for my head light low beams and a 3000 K for fogs. Im sure the hid kit itself should be enough of a yellow right?

 

@Tai - Haha no kidding! Yet I only ever see my neighbor, well not him but his car on the driveway. But then again with the start of school I barely drive in comparison to before.

@Quyen - I went with 35W since there were reports of other members getting melted housings from the 50W.

For my H11 bulbs, they're only the bulbs, no ballasts or relay harness. I had originally purchased both 6K and 3K in anticipation of switching between the 2 depending on which one I wanted. I had 6K installed first and stuck with it ever since. It matches nicely with my 6K headlights and 6K switchbacks.
Since you're planning to convert to HIDs for your fogs, it's best to just order a full kit online. If you plan to stick with 3K forever, just order 3K with the kit. But if you consider switching sometime in the future, order 6K with the kit and I'll sell you my 3K bulbs for $25. Keep in mind that you'll want to get yellow vinyl overlays for your fogs to get the yellow look when looking at the ground in front of the car and looking at the vehicle directly head on.

 

Sure I'm up for bbt just depends how fast my tint will be finished. Getting it redone on Sunday the 11th starting at 10am. Hopefully it'll be done by noon and I'll swing by. Dream tea on whyte would be easy lol.

 

New wheels for next year. Tenzo Project 7's, +45, 18x8, running 225/40 in Titanium Bronze.

 

@Jordan - Nice! I think you need some coils! haha

@Quyen - You can get cheap kits from DDMTuning or if you want to spend a little more, you can order the set from The Retrofit Source. I used to run DDM Tuning, I'm using Retrofit Sources last gen ballasts now. I have some yellow overlay film I ordered from ebay a while back not sure if I have enough for both fogs tho, best would be to go with Lamin-X. I Have the ebay on top of Lamin-X right now lol.

 

Cougar Auto Body, Shoppers Auto Body are two places that do fantastic work.

Thanks dude, yeah should be good.

Post up some links!

@Jordan, Wheels are looking good.

Also, bros, post some pics of your car in the snow! haha

 

@Jordan - Nice pick up! Although I'm not the biggest fan of how the spokes stick out past the rim.

@Jeff - How did your DDM tuning setup hold up? There are so many mixed reviews out there regarding their quality.

@Sanjay - Lol I was too busy cleaning all the snow off my car to take pics. It was barely KBP when I got to it, turned more into WDP.

 

@Vince - They were ok, I had to send one ballast back cost $40..They aren't waterproof so I bet water got into them. Quality is ok, not the greatest but they do the job for the price I guess.

This is my car now and I even brushed it off earlier today lol

 

So i was going to post up some pictures, but my phone is currently being a dink atm.

@Jordan - Sweet wheels. Now i gotta get wheel for my car now, as soon as i decide what they are, haha .

@Jeff - Acutally i was going to order up a kit from The Retrafit Source, along with some lenses and possibly a 6K bulbs. Im still confused when i was told my car already came with HID's i've no idea. I was kinda expecting to find a ballast or something when i open the hood but it could be under the head light, i think.

@Vince - I have been looking ath the kits for the fogs as well as some lenses for my head light low beam. But i might have to wait til spring to do the install since i dont have a garage to do any of my upgrades right now. Unless i can borrow a space in my uncles garage to do the upgrade but i aint doin it in the cold.

 

My car was exactly like Darkness. this afternoon in the NAIT parking lot. Oh the joys of snow, I might as well get an MDX

 

So everyone's still good for bubble tea on sunday right? i have to get my car back in the shop again since the put one of my tire backwards, grr. Now i got no grip on the one side. Whats new with everyone?

 

^means more fish tail drifting fun! haha

 

Holy, its like near impossible to find the europe version for my car. Im trying to buy the head lights that they have which is pretty much a clear head light .

 

so whats the final word for tmr?! time?

 

I guess it will still be around 12 but lets try an get there as early as possible i have to be in the west end by 1:30 tomorrow.

 

Okay sounds good. Some of the roads out there are like rumble strips lol.

 

Sorry I couldn't make it today, I got to drive one of these as a loaner on saturday, I actually liked driving it but too bad it wasn't MT 6 speed.

 

@ Jeff - What happened to your car? Sweet ILX, looks awsome but back looks kinda wierd an its kinda smaller than my TSX. Heard its based off the new civic.

 

@Quyen - My car had some bad shaking at the steering wheel when I got up to around 80-110 km/h. A common issue on the 1st Gen TSX and S2000s. Bought a set of OEM inner axle joints and boot covers from Heeltoe for both sides. Had Wei at Westside Acura do it for me and my buddy who works as a service advisor hook me up with a loaner which happened to be a ILX haha. IMO its not bad, the engine was more like the Civic but they have a higher end ILX with the 2.4L MT TSX but I got the 1.3L? AT one.

 

HAHA wonder if it's the same one that they gave me. Mine had just over 3000km's on it about two weeks ago..

 

haha could be, i actually didnt look at how many km's it had on it lol.

@quyen - how was the bubble yea turn out?

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgIr...feature=fvwrel

 

@Jeff - It was actually just me and Vincent. We did wait for about 20 mins but no one showed up so im not sure what happened. My guess would be that the roads was horrible or something. So for your car the problem would be fixed with new axles? Cool, well im glad things are goin to work out. Next time for sure we gotta get bubble tea, im having withdrawals haha . The ILX you have may be the 1.5L hybrid motor, i think. I could be wrong.

@Tai - Damn!!!!! Now thats what i call super camber haha . Poor suspension hubs.

 

@Quyen- Ahh too bad..nah that's what everyone thinks. New axles would fix maybe 90% of the problem, there's a long ass thread about the problem on s forum about people discussing what could fix it 100%. Hmm don't think its hybrid cause I was definitely not getting hybird gas numbers lol I guess it was the 2.0L one

 

 

^Looks badass. Switch those fogs to 6K!
