How'd you clean your carpets exactly?
I know mine are salty and not sure.. thinking about spending a few bucks and renting a steam cleaner (need to take out a stain or two in the headliner as well - don't ask me, it looks like embedded lipstick (and I bought it like that)). Don't know if another way would work - ie use water+vinegar/by drowning them.. I need pointers

Lastly, hopefully when you get pulled over (as you know you will for that muffler ) you don't get a ticket for the cover.

Yes .. and should have gone local - Upper Performance <- vendor on MR.com sells them for a little bit cheaper than what I paid.

And as we discussed, more than willing to meet up this Sunday night sometime .. and if anyone else wants to join I have no problems As long as the weather cooperates

Remind me never to use the crappy soap that my father picked up Car looks like swirl city now because that soap was so runny. I feel like polishing and waxing it now, but I don't think I should before it goes to get its paint touched up

Oh well, hopefully I'll take care of that stuff next week and then start on the summerizing part..

But going another 2-3 weeks without your car .. you are definitely dedicated to the go aspect. I'm sure you'll enjoy yourself when its all ready (after being broken in )

Great I emailed them. I'll put up the name of this place I called last week. I have their number @ home. They are from Sainte Eustache. They have a racing school and they sell parts as well. I found there prices very reasonable.

yeah I thikn its them.

Neuspeed sports and Tokico hps.

They didn't have tokico hps but they had KYB GR2s.

210 for the springs and 4something for the shocks I forget. I wrote it down at home.

I'd rather have the tokicos than KYBs that's why I emailed the link you put up.

No plans on camber kitting the ride as well? I'd be worried about about the alignment after the drop .. as I will be, if/when I decide what in fact I want to drop with..

I bought an ingalls rear camber kit. But I'm not sure 'll be getting camber bolts for the front. I heard they don't retain their settings during hard driving, and its better to get camber plates(= more $$). Would you invest in the front kit as well?

I'm waiting for my friend to come back from his honeymoon. I'll install the progress sway bar and tie bar with him around. If I am succcessful without any problems I'll let you know if its a driveway project. I had my friend put on the bar before winter, but it was on upside down, and we didn't bolt in the tie bar (it was really late like 10:00pm so I didn't take it off) . So we took off the bar the next day and put it on the right way but I didn't want to keep the bar on without the tie bar. I didn't want to damage the frame of the car. So now it is summer and I hope to do it myself, but with my friend around.

And you were from somewhere near where the Decarie hits the metropolitan and there is the automax dealership and toyota dealership around. Or am i completely off. This is a complete guess by the way.



You were right the dude I talked to was from trac racing

and he said 425 for the kyb GR2s and 210 for the neuspeed sports. Plus tax.
Do you think thats a good price?

Definitely going with a rear set for sure.. as for the front, all depends on how badly it'd need to be adjusted during the alignment if anything.
Sounds like you had some fun last summer .. though anything can be a driveway project (or so I've been told) with the right tools. I can guarantee I don't have them but saying still holds I guess. In any event, I'd like to be kept updated if it doesn't bother you

Not even close .. sounds more like xXxJDMCivicxXx if anyone.
I'm like 5 minutes from you if that - backyard is touching Pierrefonds in the Lacey Green district (across the street from the Timmies at Antoine Faucon).

Don't really know.. haven't been asking about springs/shocks - mainly just B&Gs. Thinking I could/should change that aspect.. but well still iffy. Though be like me, grab the contact infos off all the Montrealracing.com vendors and fill their inboxes Course probably is easiest going from place to place to get an immediate answer but thats time and gas consuming

well if I don't need a torque rench or jack stands and I'm successful I could help you install yours. But thats a lot of ifs, thats why I never offered my help before. Its kinda of an empty help, which isn't nice.

No jack stands? You guys going to crawl under on your backs or just use the shitty car jacks? I believe I have access to my brother's car ramps .. though I don't know if they'd work for the rear wheels (he mainly used them for the fronts to my knowledge. Might hit the rear bumper ) But in any event the offer to help is better than nothing at all. At least it can give me hope

So you live off Goiun cause there is like 5 silver sedans on my street. One was pretty clean, it looked waxed and it had the steelies on, I'm guessing winter tires.
