To go to Roseme, you take the 15 north and go up to the 640 direction of rosemere.

It's just after laval... not really far even for me from the south shore.

I hope to see a couple of you guys!

You would need to be more specific for which car show you are asking about - as well we have numerous ones Erik. The one that probably draws the most out of towners I'd blieve to be SCP (Sport Compact Performance) but that is usually late in the season. Apart from that - there is CarFever (at Napi), Driftmania, and others which I cannot think of in my tired state.

Oh, my plans have changed for tomorrow (or tonight to be specific) Pat, will be working later and then going directly out. So next time perhaps - though at the same time, I don't exactly want to meet in wintermode

When I was working in Montreal and crossing the bridge every workday, morning & evening, I regretted that I have been too cheap to take the automatic version...

But now, I am happy with my choice!!!

Performance wise, is there a so huge difference anyway with our engine??? Before getting my car, due to a delay in the delivery, they loan me a automatic civic.... it was as fast as my manual... it's just the pleasure to drive that is different... with one you play with the stick... with the other one it's the girlfriend that can play with your stick!!!! choose wisely!

I was reading the above post and thinking - When did Redviking get black projectors, I thought he was waiting to black his oem?? So yeah I'm slightly out of sorts at the moment.

Such nice weather, making me curse my slowness but that is quickly changing

Anyways - how was your meeting Saturday Pat (as I haven't checked the HG boards recently)? I can only imagine very bundled/cold as I don't know what the hell happened to the weekend weather.

Now speaking of meets - someone please throw out a good weekend date in the future to try and set up a meet on. Getting sick of being asked and well, I don't know what works for people so Thinking May 6 (Sat) but does that fly

I think I got ripped off! I paid the ebay headlight on Feb 20th... still waiting for it... First, I was just waiting since it was USPS normal shipping that was supposed to take 3-4 weeks... then I thought maybe it's stuck at the custom... but last week I tried to send an e-mail to the guy and his account no longer exist on ebay!!! My money is in the drain... well, in his pocket.

My trust in ebay is going down...

Are they always offering aftermarket part install or are they doing a "special" for you?

eBay works fine, certain sellers and buyers on eBay however are what you have to look out for - basically the same in real life (like going to a flea market ) My question would be, how did you pay for the item? If through PayPal, try going through their cancellation ways - though may be a little late (being after 30 days )

Never stopped anyone from coming basically - just didn't tell everyone Hell, if domestics or whoever wanted to show up fine. Just be respectful basically.

Could honestly just make it a HG/7th meet if you so wanted at the same time.. so 6th works for anyone else? Location ( Julep or ?? ) ? Time ?

so need the teeth tool or not ? And speaking of Honda need to order those parts+ eventually. Remind me when I'm at home and with the numbers/parts (ie this note is a self reminder )

Simpaty, forget me for the meet... as usual!!!! Family Eastern party...

There is the DC Sports race header. Its catless, and loud(maybe too loud), but gives good gains.

Yes, it might be only for employes... The hole kit! xbrace, camber, suspension, sway bar/tie bar.

Ill have to go elsewere for the exhaust but only after i know the clearance i got above the sway bar!

The good thing is when ill call my insurance cie, they already do buissness with longueuil honda, so they will be able to say what they have installed even if i dont have any bill for what i've purchased + if honda installed it, it must not be dangerous

Check the clearance of the exhaust with the X-brace too. Remember also that you will need to remove it to install the exhaust.

The Dark Side is calling me... my wife is changing her car so I am tempted also... and I am used to change my car every 2 years or so... it's been 2 years now!!! I got to resist... I like my 2004, I like my 2004, I like my 2004....

May 6, noon, at Julep sounds good to me

----- silly automerging after an hour -----

cheap pricing on SPC camber set-up .. probably get hit by UPS charges (unless you can talk with the seller and get it marked off as a gift/lower value) but still .. cheap -- http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2001-...spagenameZWDVW

Wow that's cheap... I just got my used SPC kit yesterday. I paid 140$... Well, at least I am sure they are SPC and not a knock-off!

I'll do my best to go to the meet... but I think the soccer season is also begining on that day... hockey dad is gone, say welcome to soccer dad...

What do you do before a meet to prepare your car for a photoshoot? You go to the car wash? wash the car yourself? wax it? Armor all? Your cars are always amazing!

Those cambers look like SPC - knock-off or not, they will do the job and not rust as bad as Ingalls. (Not saying they won't rust, but just not as bad as Ingalls )

Anyways, you don't exactly need to "prepare" for a meet. Though I, probably like others, ensure my car is clean to my desires. So, wash + dry + armor all .. car is usually waxed for the summer/fall and often kept in cleaner shape anyways. Of course, some times I'm just lazy/have no time so it is slightly dirty
