Seems to be that way all the time with MTL threads.. but like I said, I'll keep it hard from dying completely -- until maybe I just bump the thread for a page all to myself

as for me, i dont know anyone here personally.
i'm 23, and working part time as a mechanical technologist. and also studying part time to get my bachelor's in mechanical engineering.
Yeah money is good so I cannot complain about that. What about yourself? Get everything you wanted for christmas (this question goes out to everyone as well )
As for knowing each other personally - I do not believe anyone knows anyone. I've had a couple of chats with some members on MSN, but apart from that haven't even seen anyone in real life.
I'm 24 myself .. working at the moment as the head driver of a Domino's. Though I'm currently getting annoyed with the job and am planning on looking elsewhere. Anyone got any job leads?
My first car was a Civic Lx sedan 2K2 but i've sold it last sumer
Now i have a 2K4 EL Premium and verry hapy with it.
Passez de belles fêtes,
ciao
Nah, you are too far away Just kidding of course. Hello (and welcome ) Nice car btw, what color did you get? Have two white EL 2k4s in my area and well .. let's just say they look very nice - even though one is a basic whilst the other is the premium.
Side note .. as I know ssm is in my favorites - any reason it is down? Not a frequent visiter but I do browse every once and awhile..
I went to RMR. People in canada sells parts for too expensive.
All I got was the rear camber kits. The springs that they had on special were for the 4-door vics. The springs for the coupe were 269+tax, thats hella expensive. The neuspeed bar wasn't black and the chrome one was more expensive(I'm not gonna pay more its under the hood who the hell cares what color it is)
Guys in the states always get amazing deals in comparison to us.
Any place in Montreal that sells Tokicos for our cars?
If the price is really low you wont pay duty. Its a bit of a pain to change the grill I think you got to take of the bumper, but I'm not 100% sure about that.
That'd be the day.. but then again, but that time we'd want better as k20 would be probably stock
Winter over .. you mean my blue car would be blue and not white?! Gawd I need better weather so I can wash it more
And I see your discussions with Zzyzx and robbclark (among others) about suspensions have paid off
Yeah Zzyzx, Robbclark and Boilerroom are very smart. I don't think boilerroom likes me too much. I also got help from Grey, and recently Cubanmike26 installed a similar set-up I'm going for. Those are the main guys I ask, when I have suspesnion quesitions.
Our cars are pretty much perfect, just our darn shock abosorbers are crap. Other than that we got a pretty fun little car to drive.
When the weather is a bit warmer I take my car to Shell's car wash. I like their car wash system. Its my winter alternative, otherwise I'd rather wash my car myself. I washed it last week thursday and it pretty much started looking as dirty as before by Friday. So I'm not sure its worth it to wash the car in the winter.

Taking off the front bumper isn't a pain really .. just need a helping hand usually as you don't want to scrape the bumper when you slide it off. The only 'pain' really is having to get a sedan radiator cover as most grills don't fit nicely with the coupes.

Yes, there are some very well researched and practicing people in suspension/auto-x on this site. Glad you learnt information about it - as I'm glad I did. I doubt I'm going to put everything to use, but hope your set-up is successful.
As for washing the car in the winter - sure it doesn't stay clean long, but it does remove the salt. Not the best money spent, but at least you can try to prolong the inevitable. I'm glad I waxed the car nicely in the fall.. just mad at myself for being so lazy in not getting it washed more often at the moment.. The three layers of salt really need to come off
i normally wash my car myself, but in winter it aint possible in my driveway. so i had my car washed like 2 weeks ago at a hand car wash place. 10 bucks, they did the interior too. was happy with their work! just exterior is 7 dollars
when i washed back in summer/fall i just used a hose. no special pressure washer shit. my previous ride was black, i used to wax it every 2 weeks hehe.. but now my car is SSM so its way too easy to clean
Do you any of you use a pressue washer, when cleaning your car?
well rite now, during the winter, im just doin the "no touch" car washes at like ultramar or shell....and during the summer, i just wash my car the traditional way --> bucket, towel, soap, water...
Do you any of you use a pressue washer, when cleaning your car?
no pressure washer here .. hose attachments, but no pressure washer. I did think about investing in it, but well I figured I would do more harm than good with that kind of power
Usually I wash the car by hand .. if I'm in a rush and/or extremely lazy usually take it to hand wash on Fredmir and Pierrefonds - don't remember the name, but know the owners (not as well as my buddy, but know them nonetheless) (Yes I went there that often)
and verry hapy with it.
