organize a meet everyday hahaha
i think short notice meet is more adequate
as the summer will go along we'll get more people
and to make meets more fun
we should all get rc cars and race them in parking lots

cause taking pictures at every meet....

Next year it is Vis..
RC cars huh? Hmms, I'd rather spend the money on the vic

But well, don't need to take photos, dinner/billiards/talking are other things to do
Or better yet - going for a cruise.

to this post being auto-merged..

http://www.7thgencivic.com/forums/sh...91#post3866591 For some pictures of those that showed up tonight for the impromptu meet (Billiardini, Hadoud23, karizzle, Steve_civic03, and myself)

There is a guy on the CCQ trying to sell that front lip:

Sorry the pic is big!!!

http://forum.clubcivicquebec.com/viewtopic.php?t=56877

He first said reverb 2004-05. Then after comparing the pics with a real reverb lip, I convinced him that it was a different one... then he said 2001 reverb!!!

yeah right...

I am curious, what type of lip is that??? Most importantly: is it for a 7thgen civic?

Veloz? no...

Doesn't look like a Veloz kit to me - take Freddy_Si's old car pictures for starters which was a modified Si Veloz

Right... it is definatively not a veloz!

Whats all this about the rear sagging?? Do you have a box in your trunk?? I know I'm on Neuspeed sport springs, and have one hell of a heavy box. Car sit's about 3/4's of an inch lower in the back.

Did you upgrade to coilovers?

Simpaty's car is really nice!

Just beware of the cops... you don't seems to have a yellow/amber reflector on your sides upfront...

if I am right BelowMe had some problem with that last year....

My brakes are giving me signs that they will be dead in a short time... what do you suggest?

I am presently looking toward some Brembo blank rotor with HPS pads, and OEM rear... what do you think of this set-up? Good? Bad? Ugly?

1 - anyone know where i can get a wheel alignment done other than canadian tire (preferably somewhere cheaper too) i went to midas n they told me they dont do lowered cars...?

2- is anyone selling their 04-05 coupe tail lights? or if u know anywhere i can get em for a good price lemme know (time to do a tailight conversion and confuse people)

3- anyone know how to black out oem headlights? even do it for me, i dont wanna **** with it and screw up everything

4- anyone know where i can get half of my bumper painted, for a good price. AutoMagik off sources in the westisland repaired something on my bumper and had to repaint half of it. Such a bad job.
1. Dripped paint, dried up
2. The side they painted is full of rock chips, very cheap paint
3. Clear coat is peeling off in random places and is getting very noticable
4. Paint texture feels a lot rougher than original honda paint

Adjusting one's height also should necessiate another alignment to my knowledge.. but maybe I'm wrong. Though at the same time, back doesn't seem to be too low in the pictures, but then again, is your car not ours

Though then again, I do not know what they charge, nor would I go there to do work. I'd suggest Alignment Garbis up in Laval. BeLowMe has recently also gone and said it was cheaper than his last shop. http://www.alignementgarbis.com/main/index_en.htm
2-

No one I know of.. perhaps Chassel/other scrap yards (but not as cheap as a more private sale) Perhaps searching through eBay
3- No fun doing mods without getting your hands dirty

I know how to yes, but do not exactly want to. I can help you along/show you (as well as RedViking I'll assume (as he wants to do his 04s)) And if you are so worried, can give you a spare/broken driver side lamp to play with/experiment on beforehand.
4- No recommendations from me. I keep hating the ones I pick myself

2-

, good luck! Try Chassel.

3- It's easy when following the DIY of this website. I did one yet (BTW I bought another OEM headlight on ebay last week to colplete this project... I hope to receive it this time...

). The only part, that I found tricky was to open the headlight. Don't be afraid to put it in the oven a little bit longer. At first, I followed the DIY, but it was not enough... I broke a plastic tab while trying to open it... I put it a few more minutes in the oven and it opened easily... so keep it in the oven until it open without to much force, but don't burn it! And as BelowMe said: use a lot of silicone to seal it afterward!

4- I went to Honda for my repair when I had an accident last year... except for the clear coat peeling, I have all the same symptom as you! Good luck finding a good place... The original paint is like virginity... good luck replacing it!!!

There is always a lot for sale... I'll let you know if I see one.

But you can do as BelowMe and add a small reflector on your bumper. It is really nice and different!

Or blackout your OEM! JeeeDeeee M-style as they say!

AUTOMERGE!

In case you want to do something nice:

I have a pair of these sidemarker (JDM civic 96-00) that I won't be using:

After reflexion I will prefer to install the DC5R sidemarker on my car...

You can install them on your front bumper... and connect them to your turn/position lamp!
