THE NIAGARA REGION FIVE a.k.a. jer2k and profurious' thread
Those KYB are way less than Koni. I wonder how the quality matches up?
Anyway Koni yellows is what I'll likely go with. I'll just have to see what goes down in terms of my finances within the next couple of weeks.
Do you know how those Koni's adjust. I've seen pictures but I dont know how it would work?
If you wanted to adjust them do you have to take the entire thing apart? Cause that would suck.

Wow the Niagara Region has been Boring lately. hmmmmm been looking for a job I need cash but no luck yet. Anyone got a hook up for a job 
It also snowed the last 2 mornings which sucks. Hopefully Ill have my hood, new intake, and seats in by the 2nd week of April.
What else....... Oh Automotive Warehouse REALLY SUCKS! They jacked up prices on all parts cuz there the only one in the Area. Us Niagara Region Ppl should open up our own shop lol or at least get a business/wholesale licence and hook us all up on parts dirt cheap. lol
Hopefully something exciting happens. cuz posting is gettin boring.

Rep Power: 0 ya man we are getting boring, the warehouse is expensive, and they are all shet heads that work there. they think their shet dont stink and unless you know them they dont care about you. hes anyone ever benn to that store in the falls, 'fast and the furious', my buddy went yesterday and got a short ram for his focus at a pretty good price. we are getting boring, we need some excitement, i'm gonna go and do somethin exciting tonite just so i can put a little excitement into our forum. we should try to do a little mini meet or somethin around here, i know there are guys&gurls in buffalo and the hammer that would come for it. what do you guys think?
Well I was at the automotive warehouse on the weekend to get the license plate covers. the new showroom looks pretty nice. I didn't look at too much stuff though. Just in and out. But the covers I got were a really good price. For both they were only like $12. So I was happy.
I have only driven by Fast and Furious. I almost swerved off the road.
If you can set up a meet I would do my best to be there. It sounds like a good idea to me.
It's Civic aka Ferrari

Rep Power: 0 looks good with the new grill on it. now all i gotta do is see it with a carbon fibre hood on it. man i'm goin through the latest sport compact mag right now droolin over some of the sweet *** rides from the tokyo auto salon, sigh. well i did something exciting last nite, i started to clear my headlights, my back up ones that is. got one of them done and will probably do the other tonite. i'm realy hesitant on weather or not to paint them or keep them chrome?arghh! man i am realy gettin sick of this **** weather. my one buddy bought a 2000 focus theother day, we're goin racing on sat nite to see who's got the ****. we're putiin a sri on it sat afternoon and then we'll go run it. my other buddies car that i'm workin on is comin a long, not. i realy gotta get goin on that, there's like 3 months till he's home. well hope ya'll have a good day and we'll chat later.
Wow that is pretty. It glows so nice. Maybe you should get some for your ride.
If you are going to get a carbon fiber hood I think the painted lights would look really good. It will be totally unique.
Here's how I would look at it: Clear the lights and paint them. If they look good keep em on. If they dont, clear your other set. By then you will have done one set already and learned any lessons that need to be learned (ie leaking, better sealant, etc)
So you are gunna race a 2000 focus eh? I didnt know any tracks were open yet.
I think the focus can pack a pretty good punch though. Let us know the results.
Peace

If you want your lights painted talk to Gusto, he will clear them and paint them. for I think 75.00 he has done alot of people's lights on the board already.
Also CF hood would look good. It works good on silver. Mine came off a silver civic.

Rep Power: 0 ohh ya by the way i dont think i'm gonna be runnin my friend in this weather. and jer if you were wondering why there is a race track. next time you are at auto wharehouse, keep heading down airport rd(thats the rd tha A.W. is on) you'll go through a stop sign, and then head down a small hill. obout 1/4 km away there is a street that heads east, you'll notice at that street there is a yellow line marked on the rd., and a 1/4 mile north of that you'll find another yellow line on the rd., in the summer you'll also find a lot of rubber on the rd.
Well the weather is unbelievable.
My car is pretty much grounded today. I cant go anywhere. I didnt go to work. That kinda sucks.
White, that CF hood is gunna look mint on your white car.
Sorry, i dont know where you can get that spray stuff for your lights. That will also look good.
Oh yeah I sure am glad I didnt put my rims on yet.
Peace

Rep Power: 0 take the 406 from the qew and get off at glendale(pen center exit) turn right though(away from the pen) take glendale all the way to merrit/hartzel. you either have to turn left or right, turn left. UMC will be at the first street on your right, which is actually glendale still.
Thanks
I check them out if I get a chance.
This really sucks by the way. I am slightly enraged. HAHA
Let me vent now
Stupid f**ckin tracks. Why was there so much ice and snow. Why didnt I turn right? Why the hell was that guy behind me in such a rush. FU**.
PEACE

Rep Power: 0 Hey all,
Jer2k, bumpers run $300.00+ To get my back replaced was going to be $375.00 painted I beleive. But Im just gonna wait and go aftermarket. Did the tracks damage your bumper or kit??
Ah the civic its sooo slow. I don't know what to do anymore. Go for show or do a manual conversion than a turbo. I was my car to be fast lol.

hey white,
what happened to your back bumber that you need it replaced?
and good luck making the civic fast. if you want a fast car you gotta lot of work to do. I am happy with my civic's performance. it can get me into enough trouble already.
Anyway 375 sounds about right, but that still pisses me off. Oh well.
It was the actual bumber that got damaged. the kit is fine. The kit must actully be stonger than my bumber. The right passenger side is the damaged area.
But i am so glad i got urethane. If it would have been fiberglass i would still be there picking up the peices.
Peace

I was in the field for about 3 months straight. I think I'll be in the office for most of the rest of the month (tax season) Rember everyone to file your return. You can get at least 100 bucks back + about another 200 for GsT(even if you have little or no income)
Anyway I am still pissed about the car bumber.
Peace
Oh yeah, White, where did you get your quote for a painted bumper for 375? Thats really good.
