I know what you mean.. I left my brother's yesterday after playing poker and I was thinking about doing that drive on the backroads.. Luckily it was only his street that was pure ice.

As for the weather getting better .. it's not looking like its going to change for the next few days (cold). At least nothing more is coming down on us though

I'm not much of a drinker anyways .. but its been in the news for a while. I'm actually surprised its gone through Christmas and was not resolved. Best bet for booze though nowadays is Khanawake or Hawkesbury - unless you can find one of the few SAQs that are open and have little to no line up.

Hi M3RKR33 - new faces are always a good thing to see
Thats a bad crash .. glad you survived. Mind if I ask what happened?
Also, very nice pictures - what location is that anyways? Looks familiar but

As for a 7th gen meet - not to my knowledge. We're a secluded bunch, but hopefully that will change

Ouch .. sorry to hear BeLowMe. Glad you can see the good out of the bad though

My christmas was busy but very merry .. all my mom's close family (brother, sister, mom + dad) showed up - and we weren't expecting them all. It was a nice surprise. Dad's family is in Egypt so haven' seen them in a while

Did everyone get what they wanted to? I got the usual .. money. Which went and paid off all the gifts I got, plus a little extra Oh, as well as the 3rd trilogy of LoTR extended edition. Now if I can only get the first set back from my sister...

Me, I am 29, working in a biotech cie.

I want to know guy where you buy your part to tune your civic? Which shop has the lowest price in the Montreal area?

We should use this MTL thread to flag good deal on 7thgen parts in the our area.

For those who did not know: RMR is having a sale presently. See the pdf file: http://www.montrealracing.com/upload/RMR.pdf

hi every1,

I'm from Sherbrooke, near enough i think

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

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

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?

 
Rep Power: 295

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..

You pretty much said where I go in your post I've been a repeat buyer from RMR as they tend to have the lowest prices I can easily find.

 
Rep Power: 0

yea i wanna know that too. i'll prolly start doin some mods in summer.

so far i know abt rmr and ultracar, but never paid them a visit. when the time comes, i'll prolly shop around and check for the best prices.

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?

 
Rep Power: 0

yea nindoo, another thing that sux is theres no online store either. like on ebay they r all established in the US so shipping costs more.

what do u guys think abt this deal for an rs grill? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...spagename=WDVW
its like 45 bucks US shipped which is about 55 CDN. wonder how much local shops would charge for this.

btw in case u guys use msn, heres my addy: ohms81@hotmail.com

 
Rep Power: 305

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.

 
Rep Power: 305

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

 
Rep Power: 305

Do you any of you use a pressue washer, when cleaning your car?

 
Rep Power: 0

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 ****. 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

 
Rep Power: 0

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...

 
Rep Power: 295

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)
