Rep Power: 0 You and me both Platnum. I talked to Mike (Yoko) a few minutes ago and he told me to bypass Rob and talk to Jeff. But now I am thinking GC's cause I am affraid the pro-kit will be too high and the sportlines will be too low....and the GC's got high ranking over on xceedspeed.

Rep Power: 0 Ok, I saw this guy at Flexivity with a 2001 Civic. It was black, chrome license plate frame, stock look except tint, some superstreet decals on the rear quarter glass, 2 door. He was in there saying he could not figure out how to install his Injen cai. I tried to give him advice and told hime the front bumper needs to come off. Well, he acted like he did not want my advice so I just said fockit. I saw him on Eureka out by the mall last night. He has a gauge pod with indiglo gauges in it. I did not like that. It seems that the indiglo would be so bright it would get on my nerves shining in my face. Anyway, has anyone seen this guy?
Starting to see a lot more 2001+'s in the area. Cool

Rep Power: 0 I see a red one around a lot and this silver one down my street. The other day I saw this one on Fort street. It was black with a body kit. Really a nice car. But it had stock wheels on it. Wait, it was Edgar [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]
I can not wait to start having meets again. I miss our Flexivity meets. Then when the HIRCC crew comes it is free entertainment. [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 Bryan aint all that bad, he just annoys the h3ll out of you to join that club. That one time those thug wanna bes showed up too. I don't want to be in a club with a bunch of wiggers and mullets. The one guy in the silver neon is pretty decent, I talked to him a lot at the xceed bbq.
OK GUYS!!!!!!!: Lets do it! Lets have a winter get together somewhere. Or we can all hit up a kart 2 kart indoor karting even with xceed one day soon. OR lets think of another place to meet. Any ideas?

Rep Power: 0 the ground controls are good it the the stock shocks i dont care if you go eith the GC's you can get away with just getting the rear koni's thats where all the bottom out comes from dont have any bproblem with my front struts which is cool because you wont have to rebuild your fronts for you's that are going with GC's and im sure it'll work with the dropzone or anyother coilovers this is what i recomend
front: GC coilover with factory struts
rear: GC coilovers with rear koni yellows
spc or ingalls camber kit if you have 17" or under wheels other wise you'll be setting like this /==\
buying just the rear shocks should save you money and a headache
I will be selling my Gc's this year they are 2 years old i'll be getting the tiens hopefully next month or so

Rep Power: 317 im just gonna buy front and back konis with the GC's.. just to keep it all the same. i think after i buy the GCs, konis, and camber kit, it came a lil over a grand. not too shabby. i wanted the teins, but it doesnt drop enough. it only lowers to 1.5", or so i've heard. edgar, if you want to lower more with full coilovers, get the B+G coilovers. here, if the special is still going on, they have it on sale for $1050+shipping($28). 1078 shipped on those would be a killer steal.
Edgar: if my package gets here by friday, we could swap our exahaust on sunday. i gotta work saturday from 4, so that wont work.. so if sunday works for you, works for me..

Rep Power: 0 I work sunday so i cant make it ground controls make a squeeking noise also especially when it real cold good luck on your choice what ever your choice is they are all good ones but iwould consider on going with the full coilover system because there is more work involved with the koni's you'll hve to rebuild your frunt struts which will probably be a headache im liking the B&G's because the come in aneutral color as the tiens come green.

Rep Power: 0 Yeah Platnum, move closer!
I think most of us get a pretty decent discount from Flexivity. I have to go there this week and get a muffler for my hatch.
Tomo, what size pipe you running? I am thinking of running custom 2.25" from the silencer back.
