Lol i finally found time. It took forever to find a straight wall! Me and dark were driving around all over the place. We live in a slightly hilly area so theres little flat land to wall spots without driving 15+ minutes in one direction :P I ended up driving up on the lawn of a model home to get a straight shot

I wanna thank you so much for all your help with the retro Gearbox! I wish I could rep you 1000000000+ times!

I didn't try the wal mart. it's just a little out of the way for me. But I'll keep that in mind for the next time I'm there to see if it's a good spot for future aiming.

Oh, so there are more civic owners? Nice lol. Anyone from the forum? Maybe I can grab Dark Souljur (He's my cousin if you didn't already know that) and swing by if we find ourselves with nothing to do.

Not really "Shoo cuz" kids, cuz theyre all white lol. If they were "shoo cuz" kids I'd fit in haha

Re: Shift-E's Whip Yo!

Just purchased my Metra 99-7897 Dash kit and a Wiring harness off ebay. The dash kit was "on sale" and were like 4-5 bucks cheaper (10ish instead of 15ish) so that was a plus. And shipping to Canada wasn't bad either.

When those come in, I'll be doing my head unit

These are the ones I bought:

Re: Shift-E's Whip Yo!

Found a lot of new scratches on my hood yesterday

They cross the whole hood, it looks like someone placed a box on my hood and pushed it across. Most of it will disappear with a buff, but one scratch near the left side might need some paint to fill it >.<

I'll try and get pics later. No Idea where it came from, or when it could have happened.

Re: Shift-E's Whip Yo!

Forgot to mention it here before, but on thursday I gave my car to my mech for an oil change and timing belt. We figured as long as we're in there we might as well do all the belts (timing, alternator, power steering) as well as water pump and tensioners and an atf change. Bill starting to rack up kinda quick lol.

Also bought a set of 6th gen SiR rims off his son that he painted bronze (kinda goldish). Should be getting it back tomorrow, I'VE MISSED MY BABY!! Finally will be off my steelies w/ugly hubs!

PICKED IT UP FROM THE MECHANIC!! Oh how I missed it so. The rims turned out AWESOME, imo.

Here's a pic of what it looked like when I turned the corner into my mechanics plaza:

Re: Shift-E's Whip Yo!

Still not a huge fan of painted stock rims, but those turned out pretty nice\
Would have probably gone with a more goldish tint of bronze though.
But still looks good

Btw, it's screaming for a drop now

I didn't paint them, I got them like that from a friend. He had them on his '90 civic hatch which is a darker blue then mine. I agree on a more goldish colour though, but hey they aren't too bad as is either

I know, I'm looking at it and it's saying "Shift-E! Get me closer to the ground!" Then my wallet says "Don't do that to me!" :P

Re: Shift-E's Whip Yo!

That is, until everyone comes up and goes "Hey, Nice 4x4"

and you're just like
then you say "I know I need a drop!"
In the back of your head you think "I'd rather be broke"

I would know, I go through this stage every day.
So far, I've managed a couple months without dropping it. But every time I wash my car, and go out with friends, they take a look at my car and go "Dude, u need to drop ur car"

Yeah...I know

Re: Shift-E's Whip Yo!

Also, forgot to mention. Riding on 205/50/R15. Rear 2 are Falken's (basically new) Front 2 are some company called "runway" which seem to be just some cheap tires. They're brand new.
