BTW, you are changing your wheels? what are you heading for now?

FaZe

I'm getting Rota Slipstreams


I should be meeting with KC (Xenin) within the next couple of weeks.
I could pick up the shocks for you if you like.

She looks nice Hans
Though are those tires balding or just a bad picture of them?

Don't know why you gave up the exhaust for suspension right now, but I'm sure you'll enjoy it when it happens

Redviking

iTrader: (4)

Thanks!
Fot the tire, I guess it's the picture cause they only have 5000km on them!

So you are reading CCQ clasified ads? Well plenty of reasons... hope I won't regret my choice!

A) I saw how much it cost to Simpaty to install it, and I was not ready to put that money down to install it. I still also needed to find an O2 sim and a high flow cat. So at the end a lot of money for 3-5 HP...

B) Simpaty had problem with the exhaust hiting his X-brace, I was afraid that my underbrace would be worse due to its design.

C) Afterthough I realise that I will much more appreciate the difference of a good suspension set-up than an exhaust system...

So I decided to try to sell my kit... it worked. I even made some profit! I still wanted the look of the RSX exhaust on the car (it's so nice....So I invested (or trashed) 10$ on a rsx-like rice chrome tip, for the esthetic effect! (see the pics).

I might upgrade to a SI (ex) exhaust in the future, if the exhaust-mod bee strike again!

BTW, were you contacted for your header? on the CCQ people were fighting to obtain mine! People even offer me more money to get it! I told one person to contact you.

And that it's enough writing! I'll stop here... it's a long post!

Someone contacted me about the header - but unfortunately sold it on Sunday online here. Sadly couldn't make it down to the States/didn't order anything to pick up, so shipped from here at a higher expense. Oh well, the trash is out of my possesion now so I don't have to worry about it. Did notice your tip, looks fine in the pictures and well - yeah i/h/e is more sound than go

As for reading the classifieds, more like reading the 7th section on their site and found your link in a thread.

I received a MP3 player for father's day!

I want to hook it to my OEM radio, I am looking for the harness that transform the CD changer plug for an auxiliary port. Is there a place to find this other than ebay? any clue?

Karumba

iTrader: (7)

An audio/electronics more than likely can get it..

steve_civic03

iTrader: (1)

maybe try D.D.O Electronique.........across from cinema GUZZO on BLVD des Sources.

Karumba

iTrader: (7)

But when he's living on the south shore, makes for a long visit to check on the west island Steve One would assume there would be a closer and similar type shop near him, n'est pas?

So, how was the weekend for everyone? Pat, did you end up going to CarFever -- or maybe I should read on another site ?

Redviking

iTrader: (4)

yes it's a bit far... but thanks anyway!

Presently my hope is on ebay to find one, because it's like 60-100$. At that price I'd rather buy a cheap low-end CD player that already has the plug for a MP3 player like some Sony and Dual at around 100$... Even if they are cheap I guess it's still better than the OEM radio!!! plus I'll have a RCA output.

Any of you have experience with Dual? Is it a rebranded Jensen radio (since they are also sold at walmart)? They look really nice, but don't know about the quality...
Look this one for 180$

or even this one (cost like 100$)



Everywhere I read they say to stay away from Sony car audio... is it that bad? They almost all have a AUX input on the front display.

i got my radio (Pioneer) from Best Buy for $170 when it retailed for $269 new. It was a demo model that was used on the wall for a few months. I got it for super cheap, and i also bought a 3yr extended warranty for like 45bucks, just incase. It pays to look and ask!

What's happening with Simpaty???? no news since a while?

Did he survive the car fever?

jamie_civic

iTrader: (1)

yo whatsup guys......just wanted to let everyone know i'll be going back to stock at the end of the summer. i know it sucks but i need the vic for a daily driver while i build my race car. also the extra funds from parting out will help alot, all my turbo toys are sold but if anyone wants anything just let me know, ill have eibach sportline springs, dvd screens mounted in sunvisors, tsunami t1 04-05 front lip, blackedout 04 tails if someone wants to trade for stock 04-05 tails. thats about it.

Karumba

iTrader: (7)

build up and now going to tear it down? Oh well, c'est la vie. People move on Though you could always build the vic for full race too. Just a little more expensive than the other route probably of the sr20 - and wouldn't leave you with anything of a daily so understandable.

who are all your turbo toys sold to (out of curiosity)? Staying within the same chasis type or not at all?

FaZe

iTrader: (2)

A couple more new toys...

Integra/RSX DC5 Type-R Exhaust


Neuspeed Upper Strut Bar

Redviking

iTrader: (4)

Nice purchases....

What is your old exhaust in the back? It don't look OEM....

jamie_civic

iTrader: (1)

well the civic has too many limits for me (FWD, no lsd availible, 1.7L..and alot more)
but ya im going sr20, should be pretty sweet.
steves taking over my turbo, hes gonna slap it in next summer.

FaZe

iTrader: (2)

that's actually the DC5-R Exhaust before it was put in...

Redviking

iTrader: (4)

did you sold your 5zigen (or it was not you with it...)?

FaZe

iTrader: (2)

It was all sold a couple of months ago

5zigen exhaust // hi-flow cat // kamikaze header // o2 sim

$400 ... the guy got a bargain

Karumba

iTrader: (7)

Was leaning on it being Steve, so good for him. True, the D17 has those limits, but you could narrow it down to just FWD by changing out the engine to a K20a Though like I mentioned, would make your daily driver an expensive overall (as compared to the sr20 +) in my view. For next summer or just next summer.. though in any event, can be decided later. Though his set-up will be a little more obvious than yours unless he throws some grill mesh down below

So much for stock huh Will? I thought you were heading off to Vegas, or am I a day+ early in that assumption? In any event, looks good. How's it sound and feel on the road? Is the bar night/day as what I feel it is, or not as drastic??

FaZe's old set-up got sold to Hadi (Hadoud23 on MontrealRacing). I was there for the deinstall+install party.. don't know why, as it kept me away from the gym for that day.. and well been a downhill spiral going back since

Redviking

iTrader: (4)

what's a SR20?

Sorry!

Karumba

iTrader: (7)

short hand for sr20det (the better performance engines for Nissan's 240/180sx lines)

Redviking

iTrader: (4)

Any of you still have their old OEM front shocks hanging around?

jamie_civic

iTrader: (1)

just to add a bit(i know im an ***)
its a 2.0L turbo engine...200 whp stock

Karumba

iTrader: (7)

If anyone comes to mind right now, might be Will (FaZe) (as he was the latest upgrader) .. I would have given them, if you had asked in April.

Not too sure on the wheel horsepower Jamie, but you might be right - and my info is wrong

karizzle

Do you guys feel a noticeable difference with upper strut bars? I changed my springs so far, and the handling is great, but i want it better. still too loose around corners for me

edit - oh ya, just wondering. what do "performance" shocks do other than longer lasting. as i mentioned above, i have upgraded springs, but still on stock shocks. my bro said that aftermarket shocks would give me tighter steering....but i think he's talking out of his ***...?

Karumba

iTrader: (7)

I say yes Shane, but at the same time, I did my Neuspeed bar before anything. Perhaps with already changing your springs not as much, but again, person to ask/state moreso might be Will (FaZe) as he did it afterwards - though I do believe he is enjoying a vacation at the moment, so
