LONDON PEEPS: General Discussion (Part II)

[CoupeStylz]

Falcon- i have a 3-piece catback, the bolts came with it. If you don't have bolts its really not a big deal to find some. The stock lx manifold-back exhaust is 2 pieces. the si one is 3-pieces.

[BIG]

Falcon, we'll just have to go buy some random bolts then.......take that small piece to the hardware store and find a couple good bolts

[Falcon]

R1, you were right.. 17.4 was faster

my best run was 17.9 ..

i blame the uhhh... well the no aftermarket stuff.. besides heavy stereo .. hehe.. i have excuses for everything


Yeah Braden, I think I'm gonna go out to canadian tire tomorrow and get those gaskets.. I'll see if they have any recommendations on bolts.


Rich, don't worry.. there's plenty of time.. as it is right now, we have 3/4 hours of stuff to do.. and a ton of people to help out.

[R1Style]

Aight... well I'll be swinging by on Sunday between my shifts and I'll help you guys out with your sh!t.... or maybe I'll watch and drink all your beer.

Anyways, who's going to the LAC meet on Saturday?

BTW... I work at the airport. Oh and I saw 50 Cent, the G Unit, and his body guards when he flew in the other day. I was about 2 meters from the man himself... haha
Who's going to the concert tonight? I'll be there.

[rokenrolcivic]

london airport? My dad manages the katana cafe (the restaurant at the airport.

I might show up to the meet

[Falcon]

Ha.. small world.. I used to work for empire avaition (both at their building and in the diamond building)... actually, technically, im still an employee.. i just dont have any shifts at the moment

I'll probably be at the meet on saturday

[Macfay]

hey guys, i need some help here..

I wanted to unmount the 205/45/16 tires from my rims...but both westgate and canadian tires said they can't unmount it because low profile tires...any other tires expert around in London?

[rokenrolcivic]

Just got done taking off the ol winter rims and tires and put on the summer rims and tires, Our jack was broken so I had to use the one in the trunk but got em on,just took a little longer. I also just relaized how bad it looks without a drop, It looks like its floating, cant wait to get that bitch lowered even tho its only gonna be 1.5" I think it'll still look good.


How long do these meets go for? you just show up, check out the cars and shoot the sh1t? never been to one but might try and make it saturday, just wish I would be lowered FOR the meet.

ok im done rambling

[Falcon]

meet lasts about 2 and a half hours.. then a cruise

dont worry.. there arent any armed guards, you can take off whenever you get bored

and yeah.. just standing around and talkin


if all the civics show up, we should get a good group shot of the cars in a line

[BIG]

I won't be there unless you guys go on the cruise and then I can probably leave work

[APRboy]

Hey Macfay, go to Handford tire on Wharncliffe before Baseline...ask for Jeremy the manager, and tell him Bruno with the silver 4 dr sent you...the installed my 18s so they can surely get your tires off with no probs...

[Dasica]

It better be nice weather for the meet. If LAC doesn't cruise we should wait for big and we can all go for one that was fun last time. Let's go slower through downtown this time so I can talk to all the girls there's a reason why I have four doors

I'm totally confused on everybody's name b/c of our avatars. What's everybody's name so I know?

Dasica/Brad everybody calls me pottso

Big do you work for Telus in the mall? I'm the guy stores call in for Nextel setting up gov/cor accounts I take like 13 calls in five hours and do homework the rest. Anyways I better grab my 6 hours sleep.

Morning guys, I just posted this on the L.A.C. site:

Well, this morning my '02 Civic coupe got rear-ended by a mid-90's Corolla. About $1300 damage, but its all going through his insurance for repair.

I got three quotes, can anyone comment on them and which one I should go to? Or recommend something better?

1. Don-Mar Carstar Collison (Brydges St)
2. Forest City Collision (Wonderland N)
3. Lawrence Carstar Collison (Wonderland N)

#1 was just acroos the street from the reporting center.
#2 and #3 were both recommend from Westgate Honda.

Repair is going to be a new bumper cover, the actual bumper, absorber pad and a little rear body panel work inside tire well.

Q: Should I put an aftermarket rear bumper on or get OEM?

So comments away please, and thanks!
Xian


Btw, Big I think I need a new cell phone. Can you recommend something for me? More importantly can you hook me up with a sweet deal?

[APRboy]

Xian, sorry to hear that buddy, at least you're not gonna spend a dime...I got a hit and run 3 weeks ago at Masonville mall that's coming out of my pocket...bastards!!! Anyway, i would reccoment Don-Mor collision or Forest City Collision....I got my Countour's rear bumper fixed at Don Mor and their work was flawless and i mean flawless....i know Forest City does excellent work too cuz they did quite a few members vehicles from LAC. I've seen their work and it is really good too. The third one i haven't heard of....As for what you should do, If you don't plan on getting a front and sides, than i would just go with OEM again, cuz it will just look funny with only a rear....

[Falcon]

damn man.. sorry to hear that

i cant really comment on those places since i've never had body work done.. but as Bruno says Forest City collision sounds familiar from the LAC

if i were you i would go with oem unless you're going to change everything

[BIG]

sorry about your luck Christian, at least you are getting taken care of. Call my cell 521-7780 whenever you want to come in...I'm in there alot now that i 'm done school

[Falcon]

well I ran around for a while this morning trying to find those gaskets.. nobody had a perfect fit

i found a couple that are almost perfect.. i dont think it will cause any problems.. i just had to bend them a bit to get the holes where i wanted them, etc... that should be ok to do, right?

[BIG]

yeah that will be fine Chris

[Macfay]

oh damn...I recommend Forest City...i got my rear bumper fixed there with great deal too...but I didn't get a new bumper though...they used what they call...plastic melting/welding...and new my bumper is just like new...and yeah...westgate recommend forest city too....

Boy_R_D...new guys in london or just new to the board?

oh...Macfay...how to say...the way you pronounce McBeth or McDonald...the same Mc or Mac...
and then just Fay...so MacFay all together...hehe

[BIG]

ok, so I've been saying it properly then

[Macfay]

yes...haha...

[Dasica]

CT has premium pads on sale. Theres a listing for rear pads and rotors. Would that be basically a dirext swap or is it going to be alot of work to change the rear.
