Well this location is a lot newer than Monster's so I'm not surprised by being cleaner/more expensive.. Surprised by the fact that there would be more machines, but I haven't really been into Monster. I know my brother and friend tried out Lattitude and said that Body was twice as big (equipments) or there abouts .. seeing how that used to be Body's old spot I guess they improved nicely. One question I have though is - is Body 24h ? I'm not sure, but I guess I can ask next time I go - probably later today (if I don't mind the snow driving )

Anyone in the MTL region have tried that?

Swap a SI (CDN) head on a DX/LX to have the VTEC. It seem to work great! It's a bit hardcore tuning for me (and for now!)... but interesting!

I don't know if it gives power. I thikn it gives better fuel economy. Check out honda.com they have a Honda hx or something its got VTEC but less Horsepose than 127 but has the best fuel economy among civics.

If it's really like the HX it's 117HP instead of 115 HP = it don't worth it

They talk about 10 HP gain and better fuel economy in the tread... so not bad ratio $/gain... if it's true! I need to find some dyno chart...

But technically like you said it will be like a HX. So.... I'll continue to search about that...

Its a cool mod since the si head probably will not be expensive. If it give 10 hp thats a fairly good gain and on a plus better fuel economy

I wanted to give a heads up to anyone looking for a camber kit. Clubrsx is selling Ingalls @ a reasonable price. Much better price then the "liquidation" price I paid @ RMR . I heard the SPC camber kit is better quality.

Don't worry about it - I'm not good with DIY either .. I can find lots of things on how to do it, but do it myself.. I think not. Course I do know some good DIY people .. only problem is they aren't local to Montreal
Oh well, at least you found a decent price for the install - and you might want to take the link for them, if they need any instructions/help.

You have Omnis and Teins?

 
Rep Power: 294

Didn't you get B&Gs? Where did these come from??

 
Rep Power: 0

ok ok let me explain
i have b&g right now
i was about to get the teins basic but i got a good deal on the b&g
and its life time warranty...not sure on how that goes but still better than 1 year like the teins and the store had it in stock
so no wait at all
but the thing is...i order another set of coil from another friend store
the omni's
so i canceled my order
but they still ordered it
now i kinda feel bad for my friend cause he ordered it for me
now im just helping him selling it
i was going to buy them for my brother but he doesnt want to fix up his car
they are brand new and come with warranty
these are pretty cheap for full coilovers
how much are 4 koni?
are konis better than omni?

 
Rep Power: 0

well konis have dampening, omni doesnt.
omni has sleeved coilovers, konis are just shocks, therefore no coilovers.
you can get ground controls for the konis which would make it a better set up than the omnis due to the dampening on the konis. would only cost a few hundred more.

Koni also offers lifetime warranty. I sent one of mine back to them about 2 weeks ago, the adjustment was jammed, got a brand new one back last week.

 
Rep Power: 0

whats the warranty on omnis?

 
Rep Power: 304

Konis are the best, but I find them kinda of expensive. They are worth the money, but they exceed the budget.

Nice pics FaZe .. but so dirty? hehe just kidding - as I do believe your car is cleaner than mine atm . Got to love winter

Though I am going to say, thats a lot of swirling .. looks like it needs a nice polish come spring.. apart from that, maybe some rims and the rest of the kit installed .. Definitely a lot more on the way than I will ever be.

One question though, might just be my eyes/the picture angle - but it looks like your trunk lid isn't fully flush anymore (like the right taillight is pushed out slightly) .. am I seeing things or part of the uniqueness of your car (I know I have my own to deal with )

 
Rep Power: 0

its actually the left one thats pushed in...
Spring time... I'm getting everything realigned, cuz my bodyshop guy was in a rush when the accident happened (he only had 2 days to work on my car)

 
Rep Power: 304

Is he gonna align the trunk hinges?

Good question, I have no clue if its necessary....

Janlop/Karumba:
I actually have new rims in mind now..
5zigen Heidfeld 17" dark
/w Neuspeed Sports/Tokico shocks

When the snow melts,
OEM front and sides are going in...
ViscousTech Short Shift adapters should be here next week...

that pretty much completes the project for 2005 since by Dec 2005, I expect to be around the 95,000km maintenance overhall...
