I think I've gotten so used to it that I'll let you know how much I'm complaining when it comes to winterize the car. No way I want to keep the Teins on during that white fun stuff so yeah.. I have no complaints of the upgrade - since greasing the coilovers and losing the squeaking so yeah....

By the way Vis, could you call me when you get a chance or p.m. me your # if I need to get in contact with you? I'll be in close contact with the producer so I'll let you know of any devellopments right away.

I guess when you winterize you'll be on a cushier tires, and not the performance low pros.

I was checking the tein site and the rear springs are stiffer than the front on the tein ss and basic. That is a nice set-up for handling on our FWD drive cars. Thats what I read on the forums not from my personal experience.

215/45 are cushy .. ask Vis as he upgraded to that size and needs to roll his fenders because of it

And well .. all full coilovers available are stiffer in the rear than the front for our car .. probably the reason you stated..

 
Rep Power: 0

Back are always a bit stiffer than front to compensate for the motor as well. .

 
Rep Power: 304

How do they roll fenders? Anyone ever see it being done?

 
Rep Power: 294

Ghetto way .. taking a pipe/baseball bat and rolling over the spot. More "professional" way would be slightly heating up the fenders and doing pretty much the same I watched slightly as Trac did mine through the window.. but well I get bored easy so continued walking as I waited for my car

hey how far is trac?
what is the fastest way to get there from the 40
im rollin my fender there tomorrow at 4
after seeing what it could do to anthony tires

 
Rep Power: 0

Ya exactly , the baseball bat method works but the advantage of doing it at a shop is they'll heat up the paint so it becomes more flexible. It's a fragile job somewhat but I didn't have problems (did mine at lazer auto suprinsingly A+ job). So if anything happens blame it on them .

Just don't screw up your fender before the commercial shoot.

 
Rep Power: 294

Its about 40 minutes away. Depends really how bad the traffic is on the 13 or 15 or in between those two highways on the 40 .. Assuming you are either coming from downtown and/or near your place - fastest way I'd say, would probably be the 15 north to the 440 ouest to the 13 north then the 640 ouest. Exit #11 for RT-148 (Arthur-Sauve). Then look for the big billboard for the race track (you don't see a sign for TRAC exactly.. but go down that long hilly road and then turn left at the warehouses/garages and head to the end.

If you want someone to tag along or something you can hit me up at the moment. Haven't been called in yet for work so I'm free sadly. Need to seriously solve that fact though.

Should be fine for a good while .. though nothing is guaranteed on the work - as they've probably told you. My paint started to show the stress lines after a month or so.. nothing major really but well its a little thing that makes me slightly


And now for something completely different,
If anyone feels up to adding to the small amount of cars that show up for a meet - we'll be a few at the Kirkland Colisee around 8pm. Technically its a Montreal Racing meet but I do believe most of us are part of both boards anyways

Just take the 13 trust me, almost every day I used to top out my hatch. Less traffic, less cops.

 
Rep Power: 294

I actually think I've seen more cops on the 13 than on the 15 .. specifically around the first underpass off the bridge onto Laval (or last one before the bridge). But yes, the 13 often has a lot more running room. Its all a matter really of how it looks when you are leaving. I know most don't listen to AM, but 940 can be helpful every 10 minutes for that - basically gotten to be a godsend while at Hertz as it doesn't pay all that well to sit in traffic

So whats goin on people?

Anything planned for that Civic Nation shoot?

 
Rep Power: 294

Trying to learn its location and crashing it But seriously.. bored and well yeah .. wait a sec..

why the hell did I just agree to work tomorrow evening?! I wanted to take a drive and say hi to you guys.. oh yeah I remember.. because I'm poor Another time I suppose.. Maybe I'll venture up Saturday for the Honda-Tech meet and ask who's around and stuff - as you guys might be hitting up that bike show.. Decide tomorrow I guess

 
Rep Power: 315

I still have no idea what is planned on Saturday for myself. I'll try and keep my slate clean ... unless I get dragged into work on Saturday at 5 am

There is a turbo kit for sale for our d17 on clubcivicquebec...

http://forum.clubcivicquebec.com/viewtopic.php?t=32774

Anyone interested with enough $$$....

BTW, what is the cheaper (best ration $/gain) between a k20 swap or turbo the D17?

 
Rep Power: 0

In the long run K20A2 swap for sure.

 
Rep Power: 315

^exatly, it's cheaper to boost the d17, but the K20a2 has alot more potential!

 
Rep Power: 294

Now now .. let's not get into a major fight or anything. But well, sure turbo would be cheaper. K20aX swap would more than likely be more reliable long term therefore could turn out to be cheaper in the long run.

Jim, I mentioned the Honda Nation spot to a driver I saw on the road today. I don't know if he will contact you or not but here's to hoping :beer: His car fit the bill well too - 01-03 SSM, kitted (looked like Aero), rims, exhaust, TYC black tails and heads, looked to be lower as well. Now if only I knew who that was

What about a K20a2 turbo???

So who is actually going to this civic nation thing? or at least have shown some interest....

-BelowMe?

Ok... it's time to change my oil.

I used to buy some Mobil 1 0w20 (replacement for Honda 5w20) at walmart or CDN tire, but strangely I am no longer able to find this grade on their shelves...

What type and grade of oil are you guys using? and most importantly where do you get it???

I finally got some Motul 8100 5w30 at RMR today... hope I will like it...
