LOL Interesting.. that'd be one of the words I'd use to describe the two sedans I saw that day. I only saw the first one clearly. He was cutting through the parking lot (his buddy was stopped at an intersection in the same lot). From the front of this maroon sedan the first thing I noticed were the dual-wipers on. The wipers weren't the attracting thing but the color.. wasn't red exactly but like a reddish orange. There was also a decal banner on the front windshield that looked to match color-wise but I didn't catch what it said. Next thing I noticed was the front bumper - or rather what was on it, there was what appeared to be bumper guards. Just on the corners wrapping around (not connected across the entire bumper) it was a black strip with a chrome inner-lined strip. As the car was beside me, I laughed as I saw the APC in the rear quarter-panel window. The chrome looking door handle covers also made me shake my head. But all was topped off when I saw the rear end. The bumper guard looking things were there again however they were dwarfed by the unique altezzas. Truly was a uniquely designed car .. except the second of the two looked to have half of the things done to it as well (bumper guards and altezzas for sure -- no dual-wiper blades though). To each their own I suppose though

Sometimes in the summer go to St-Zotique Go-Karting.. best (outdoors) track my coworkers/buddies and I have been to (thus the repeat business). Apart from that.. just the occasional see who can get somewhere faster type of thing - nothing too extreme though.

Its time like these when I'd be doing a lot of if I was you.. but hopefully you are rolling on some decent rubber.. Not like someone else here who had the stock Firestones on recently - who shalt remain nameless (wonder how they enjoyed driving today...)

im ordering some tein basic tomorrow
anyone know a place thats cheaper than 1600$tax in?
fukn tax is killing me....
neways i need new shocks before my whole car breaks down....
maybe if we are more we might get a deal.....
come on whos with me?

Karumba

iTrader: (7)

If you are paying, I'll jump in for sure

You decided on the basics after researching some more or price-wise or ??
Where have you looked and gotten the price of 1600$? Looks like it should be cheaper.. truehonda is selling the Basics for 865 US (roughly 1000 CAD)- with shipping should be less.. don't know about warranty then or duty so

BeLowMe

well at first i wanted too order from the states
but i dont know how much i would pay thru custom
they dont even have a fix rate for somthing that big and that heavy
well i never order from the state but i dont want to end up paying surprise fees
and it would be a hassle for the warranty
so i rather save me all that trouble and buy it here
for a bit..lot more
i call most of the store and they are about the same price
still dont know where imma buy them
just waiting for a confirm price tomorrow
then ill know for sure where imma buy them

man i wished i had the cash...

iTrader: (1)

Could you ask the people your ordering from in the States if they can mark the item as a "promotional materials low value shipmenet 100$"

But its only worth it if the parts are significantly cheaper in the States.


How much did you lower your car?

Karumba

iTrader: (7)

Sad but well .. what parts aren't?

Thanks for the info I bought the sd300

03AzNsIlvaSeDaN

iTrader: (1)

^^sd300....? very nice! i got an older canon model...the s230...was one of the pioneers of the elph's

nindoo

iTrader: (1)

Yeah I was looking at a kodak for 259$ and I ended up with an SD300.

Is the S230 one of the sleek ones too?

BeLowMe

my car is drop 2.5 inch all around
and about buying in the states
he told me that i can put a 400$ value to the package
but if the shipment gets lost im not covered for the whole thing

so after long struggle and search i decided to go with b+g coilovers
what do u guys think
did i made the wrong choice?its either b+g or tein basic

03AzNsIlvaSeDaN

iTrader: (1)

yepyep...pretty sleek, but urs is much nicer...smaller too with a wider screen --> 2 inches, which is pretty sweet! how much did u get it for and where?

nindoo

iTrader: (1)

$470 Bureau En gros I couldn't really shop around I needed it quick. Its 479 at Futureshop so Bureau En gros Price matched. I think if I waited and shopped around I could have gotten a better deal.

nindoo

iTrader: (1)

Yeah I wouln't want to loose a shipment like that.

Tein basics are nice but expensive, the springs are linear so the springs have the same rate at any ride height. Do you absolotuly need a 2.5 inch drop? Are B and Gs true coilovers?

Do you have a camber kit? Have you had any problems with the front suspension with the drop being so low. Suposidly on our cars there is a lot of stres put on the steering arm and tie rods with a low low drop.

Karumba

iTrader: (7)

Thats the problem with shipping something under value .. got to hate living up here in Canada sometimes ..

In any event, as for your suspension choice .. I don't know if any of us are truly qualified to give that decision. I do know that Big Baller (member from Ottawa) has them and enjoys the ride.. though I don't know anyone locally/myself that has any other full coilover set-up really.. problem the best getting some advice from the Suspension gurus in that subforum.

Needed it quickly for what exactly? *yes I know .. curiousity killed the cat *

I so should get a camera.. but I hate taking pictures - heck I hate interacting with strangers (a good portion of photo taking opportunties (have to remember who was at the party.. etc etc)) so well .. meh I guess I'll survive without one for the time being..

nindoo

iTrader: (1)

LOL

I needed to get it, my mother is going on a trip, I wanted her to to take it with her so she could takes some recent pics of family.

Camera is good to have, it will come in handy. I'm not sure I needed all the features of the camera I bought.

I'm not a gadget guy I'm like you, but for some illogical reason I still ended up buying one.

Karumba

iTrader: (7)

hehe seriously .. probably would have been better off getting some disposable cameras. Hopefully your mother knows how to work the camera (doesn't go into video-capture mode (if applicable) and wastes the battery/memory). But it'll definitely come in handy.. if we ever have any sort of meet we'll label you the camera guy

So .. who's ready for the cold again after today? Stupid mother nature.

And now for something completely different - brother has decided to try and expand his poker player base and wants to try to recruit other players. Next game would be Tuesday night .. if anyone is interested just let me know and I'll post more info about it.

I'm not a poker player so I'm out on this one. Thanks for the offer.
